instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-

GEB010-4

PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool

down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface

leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.

2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces only, because the cutter may contact its

own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give

the operator an electric shock.

3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body

leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

4. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should

never be left around the work area.

5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

6. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very

carefully.

7. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely

tightened before operation.

8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let

it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling

that could indicate poor installation or a poorly

balanced blade.

11. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

12. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-

ting.

13. Always switch off and wait for the blades to

come to a complete stop before any adjusting.

14. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.

Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean

out chips with a stick.

15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

16. Always change both blades or covers on the

drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will

cause vibration and shorten tool life.

17. Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.

18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for

the material and application you are working

with.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
