NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0" and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described for each of the jointing proce- dures. This process will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Note: We suggest a 1⁄32" depth of cut for sur- face planing, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

Failure to use push blocks when surface planing could result in your hands contact- ing the rotating cutterhead, which will cause serious personal injury. ALWAYS use push blocks when surface planing on the jointer!

Note: When your leading hand comes within | |
| 4" of the cutterhead, lift that push block up |
| and place it on the workpiece portion that is |
| on the outfeed table. Now, focus the down- |
| ward pressure with the leading hand while |
| feeding, then repeat the same action with |
| your trailing hand when it comes within 4" of |
| the cutterhead. Keep your hands safe! DO |
