MACHINE USE
The following directions will give the beginner a start on jointer operations. Use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings
and to get the feel of the operations before attempting regular work.
NOTE: The knives on the jointer will not wear evenly by feeding the through the same spot on the table every
time. Feed the wood through the jointer at different spots on the table when possible, to help eliminate uneven
wear of the knives.
Always use cutterhead guard and keep hands away from cutterhead. Always use push blocks
whenever possible. Never make jointing and planning cuts deeper than 1/8" in one pass.
PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand pushes
the work toward the knives. After the cut is un der way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table as shown in
Fig. 64. The left hand should then be moved to the work on the outfeed table, at the same time maintaining flat contact
with the fence. The right hand presses the work forward, and before the right hand reaches the cutterhead, it should
be moved to the work on the outfeed table.
Never pass hands directly over the cutterhead.
