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 PADDLE 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 1Ú8".

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 Ñ 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 cutterhead. Always use push paddles and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from Òkickback.Ó If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.

14.PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA- approved respirator when working in an environment that could contain wood dust.

Like all machines there is danger associated with the Model G0526. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail- ure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precau- tions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

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.
