Dewalt DW735 Instruction Manual - Page 4

English • Be sure that the cutter knives are mounted as described in the instruction manual and check that all bolts are firmly tightened before connecting unit to power source. • To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter block directly with your hands. • Keep guards in place and in good working order. • Stay alert - never operate the unit when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. • Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near flammable substances, in damp or wet locations, or expose to rain. • Never plane material which is shorter than 12 inches. • Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum after power has been shut off and cutter head has stopped rotating. • ALWAYS LOCATE PLANER WITH PROPER CLEARANCE ON THE OUTFEED SIDE of the unit to prevent pinching or binding of the workpiece against any obstacle. • Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. WARNING: For your own safety, it is recommended that two people carry this machine or serious injury could result. WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. • Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. WARNING: A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware store for the proper NIOSH/OSHA approved dust mask. • The label on your tool may include the following symbols.
