Most cutters are designed to rotate counterclockwise and cut the stock from underneath the workpiece, which provides a safety barrier between the spinning cutter and the operator. In this case, the workpiece is fed past the cutter from right to left—against the cutter rotation (see the illustration in =`^li\)0).

However, some cutters are designed to shape from the top of the workpiece, which exposes the operator to the spinning cutter and increases the risk of operator injury. To avoid this hazard, you can cut from the bottom of the workpiece by mounting the cutter upside-down on the spindle, reversing the spindle rotation, and feeding the workpiece past the cutter from left to right. Refer to the following :lkk\i@ejkXccXk`fe procedurefor detailed instructions.

•The cutting edges of large cutters travel faster than smaller ones at the same spindle speed. Cutters with a 31⁄2" or larger outside diameter must be operated at the slowest speed.

•Do not use a spindle speed that exceeds the speed rating of the cutter.

•Wear heavy leather gloves when handling cutters to avoid laceration injuries—cutters are SHARP!

•Keep the spindle, spacers, and cutter clean and free of debris to prevent them from binding when placed on the spindle.

•Use the smallest table insert opening possible to keep the gap between the table surface and the cutter to a minimum. This will help keep wood chips from falling into the cabinet, provide better workpiece support, and increase operator safety by reducing risk of kickback or accidental contact with the cutter.
