Shop Preparation
ONLY ALLOW TRAINED PEOPLE in your shop! Make sure shop entrances are locked and machines are correctly turned off with
•Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain.
•Working Clearances: Consider your current and future shop needs with respect to the safe operation of this machine.
•Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have the capacity to handle the amperage requirements for your Model W1694. Refer to page 9 for more information. Electrical outlets should be located near the lathe, so power or extension cords are clear of high- traffic areas.
Dust Collection
THIS MACHINE produces sawdust that may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems. Wear a dust mask or respirator in addition to using a dust collection system.
For information on the correct dust collection components for the jointer, contact your Woodstock International dealer for a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and available accessories.
Initial Cleaning
The exposed and unpainted jointer surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine based solutions or solvents to remove the this waxy oil, or you will damage the painted sur- faces. Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based degreaser before you use the jointer. Always follow all usage and safety instructions of the product that you are using.
DO NOT use flammables such as gas or other
DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents. Smoking may cause explosion or risk of fire when exposed to these products!
ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area when using solvents with fumes, and keep away from any potential igni- tion sources (pilot lights). Most solvents used to clean machinery are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always dis- pose of waste rags in a sealed container to make sure they do not cause fire or environmental hazards.
