SAFETY

READ and understand this entire manual before using this machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not under- stood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from “kick- back.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.

CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the edge of the cutterhead knives at top dead center (TDC) even with the top edge of the outfeed table to avoid kickback and personal injuries.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Supporting the workpiece adequately at all times while jointing is crucial for making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.

Push blocks. Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over the cutterhead without a push block.

Kickback zone. The "kickback zone" is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.

Maximum cutting depth. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1⁄8". Never attempt any single cut deeper than this!

Jointing with the grain. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could pro- duce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.

CUTTERHEAD GUARD. All operations must be performed with the cutterhead guard in place. Always ensure that the cutterhead guard is in proper working condition before operating the jointer.

PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed table.

USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with the choice of stock. Inspect your stock carefully before feeding it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (360) 734-3482.
