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.

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

NOT allow them to get any closer than 4"

from the cutterhead.
