Safety Instructions For Jointer/Planer (continued)

WARNING: Do not attempt to use the tool until you have read thoroughly and understand completely the oper- ator’s manual. Pay close attention to the safety rules, including Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions. If you use this tool properly and only for what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable service.

Major Hazards

All of the safety information and cutting steps are critical to the safe operation of the jointer/planer.

1. Workpiece kickback

Kickback is the uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the workpiece during jointing or planing. If kickback occurs, the workpiece can hit you or a bystander hard enough to cause broken bones, internal organ injury or death. To reduce or prevent kickback, read and follow the safety information in the Jointing and Planing sections of the manual.

2. Kickback followed by blade contact

Your fingers or hand can contact the blade following kick- back if your hands are unprotected or too near the cutter blades. Your fingers can be cut off. To reduce the risk of contacting the cutting blades, read and follow the safety information in the Jointing and Planing sections of the manual.

3. Wrong way feed

Wrong way feed is feeding the workpiece into the cutter blades in the direction of blade rotation. The workpiece can be grabbed by the blades and pull your hands into the blades before you can let go or pull back. Fingers can be cut off. To reduce the risk of wrong way feed, always feed the workpiece against the direction of blade rotation. Cutter blade rotation is shown on the sliding fence guard (behind the center of the fence).

4. Thrown workpiece, chips and cutter blade pieces

The jointer/planer can throw the workpiece, workpiece chips, or pieces of loose or broken cutter blades. You can be blinded. Wear safety goggles labelled “ANSI Z87.1” (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the package.

DANGER: Follow the steps listed below to reduce or eliminate the risk of being injured when using the jointer/planer. Failure to do so can result in a life threatening injury or death.

1.Lock the fence lock knob.

2.Set the depth of cut per pass to less than 1/8" for jointing and less than 1/32" for planing.

3.Check the blade guard for proper position and smooth operation.

4.Keep hands as far away from the cutters as possible when jointing or planing.

5.Use push blocks or push sticks whenever possible.

6.Complete the cut without stopping or backing up the workpiece.

7.Read and follow the safety information and safety instructions in the operator’s manual and in the safety labels on the jointer/planer.

8.Know location and function of all controls before using tool. See “Getting to know your Jointer/Planer” section of this manual.

Before Using the Jointer/Planer

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activi- ties contains chemicals known (to the State of Califor- nia) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemi- cals are:

Lead from lead-bases paints,

Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lum- ber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil- ter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of mistakes that could cause serious, permanent injury, do not plug the jointer/planer in until the following steps have been satisfactorily completed.

Know and Understand the Jointer/Planer

Completely assemble and align jointer/planer.

Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch, fence slide locking handle, cutter guard, depth of cut hand wheel, locks and stops, fence bevel lock handle, outfeed table, infeed table and hold-down/push-blocks.

Review and understand all safety instructions and operating procedures in this manual.
