Operation Safety
To avoid serious personal injury, read and
become familiar with the entire instruction
manual before using the jointer.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-
tion while using with 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.
Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
Stock Inspection
& Requirements
Here are some rules to follow when choosing
and cutting 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 4), 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
best 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 27). Note—If the grain changes
direction along the edge of the board, your
best bet for improving cut quality is to
decrease the cutting depth and make addi-
tional passes.
