SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
5
12. NEVER JOINT OR PLANE A WORKPIECE that
is shorter than 10" (254mm), narrower than 3/4"
(19.0MM), or less than 1/2" (12.7mm) thick. Jointing
smaller workpieces can place your hand in the
cutterhead causing severe injury.
13. USE HOLD-DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS for jointing
or planing any workpiece lower than the fence.
Jointing or planing small workpieces can result in
kickback and severe injury.
14. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the table
and fence. Loss of control of the workpiece can
cause kickback and result in serious injury.
15. NEVER PERFORM “FREE-HAND” OPERATIONS.
Use the fence to position and guide the workpiece.
Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious
injury.
16. DO NOT attempt to perform an abnormal or little-
used operation without study and the use of
adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures,
stops, etc.
17. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE into the outfeed end
of the machine. The workpiece will be thrown out of
the opposite end at high speeds.
18. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE that is warped,
contains knots, or is embedded with foreign objects
(nails, staples, etc.) to prevent kickback.
19. MAINTAIN THE PROPER RELATIONSHIP OF
INFEED AND OUTFEED TABLE SURFACES
and cutterhead knife path. Loss of control of the
workpiece can cause serious injury.
20. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE
WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece
can cause injury.
21. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR
SETUP WORK on the table/work area when the
machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the cutterhead. Severe injury can
result.
22. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the
machine from the power source, and clean the
table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK
THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent
unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally
start the machine and cause injury to themselves.
