Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers

Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers

1.JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT!

2.MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIPS of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cut- terhead knife path.

3.ALWAYS USE A PUSH BLOCK when jointing. Never place your hands directly over the cutterhead.

4.SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequately at all times during operation, and maintain control over the work at all times.

5.WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly at the end of either table. Position yourself just to the side of the infeed table to protect yourself from possible kickbacks.

6.NEVER MAKE JOINTING CUTS deeper than 1⁄8".

7.NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose knots. All defects should be cut out of the board before it is planed or jointed.

8.NEVER JOINT end grain.

9.JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out , which could lead to loss of control over the workpiece.

10.WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING, all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.

11.NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the infeed table. If a cut must be interrupted, lift the workpiece clear of the cutterhead.

12.HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

13.“KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the cutterheads. Always use pushblocks 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.

14.BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to and always wear an approved respirator.

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