G1037 Planer / Moulder -3-
Additional Safety Instructions For Planer-Moulders
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for align-
ment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
8. The hood should always be DOWN and cov-
ering the cutterhead when the motor is on.
9. Do not stand directly in front of or in back of
the workpiece as it is feeding through your
power tool. Stand to one side.
10. After a long period of operation, stop the
machine, disconnect the power, and check
the cutterhead gibs and screws for tightness.
11. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safe-
ty will become second-nature to you.
12. Check the feed roller bearings occasionally
to be sure chips are not lodged between
bearings and the side plate. If bearings are
not seated firmly, the feed rollers will not hold
stock firmly against the bed, and kickback
will occur.
13. Never stand directly in line with either the
infeed or outfeed side. Always stand to one
side of the machine. With any power tool,
kickback is always a possibility.
1. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed
it through the machine. If you have any
doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT USE IT!
2. NEVER mill stock that has loose knots. All
defects should be cut out of the board before
it is processed.
3. NEVER plane a board less than 14" in
length.
4. Before starting up, recheck to make certain
all screws are tight.
5. Never plane more than
3
⁄16" in one pass
except in the first moulding pass where you
must bring up the table until the rollers con-
tact the board.
6. Do not force-feed your work through the
machine. Allow the planer to apply the prop-
er feed rate.
7. Use sound lumber with no loose knots and
with as few tight knots as possible.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury to persons.
