Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. 25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. GEB010-2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to planer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. 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. 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. 3. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area. 4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 5. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully. 6. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation. 7. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 8. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 9. 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. 10. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 11. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting. 12. Always switch off and wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before any adjusting. 13. Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out chips with a stick. 14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 15. Always change both blades or covers on the drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and shorten tool life. 16. Use only Makita blades specified in this manual. 17. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
