Additional Safety Instructions for Jointers

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. 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.

SAFETY

1.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 “kickback.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.

2.CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned with the edge of the knife at top dead center (TDC) to avoid kickback and personal injuries.

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

4.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Proper workpiece support while cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.

5.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.

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

7.JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.

8.KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the exception of rabbeting, all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.

9.PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never move the workpiece backwards toward the infeed table, or the risk of kickback will be extreme.

10.USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed 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!
