G0526 6" Jointer
Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-
tion while using this machine.
Loose hair and clothing
could get caught in
machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair
tied up and away from
machinery.
Here are some rules to follow when choosing
and jointing stock:
• DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that
contains knots. Injury to the operator or
damage to the workpiece can occur if the
knots become dislodged during the cutting
operation.
• DO NOT joint or surface plane “against”
the grain direction. Cutting “against” the
grain increases the likelihood of stock kick-
back (See Warning #13 on page 5), as well
as tear-out on the workpiece.
• Jointing and surface planing “with” the
grain produces a better finish and is safer
for the operator. Cutting “with” the grain is
described as feeding the stock on the jointer
so the grain points down and toward you as
viewed on the edge of the stock (Figure 21).
Note—If the grain changes direction along
the edge of the board, your best bet for
improving cut quality is to decrease the cut-
ting depth and make additional passes.

ment to cutterhead.
