To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

• Use this jointer/planer to cut only wood.

• Use push blocks or push sticks whenever possible.

• Plan your hand placement so your fingers will not be

anywhere a sudden slip could cause them to slide or

fall into the cutter head. When using only one hold-

down/push-block to feed the wood, do not put your

other hand on the jointer/planer, workpiece, or hold-

down/push-block.

• To reduce the risk of injury from thrown pieces, make

sure the knives are sharp, properly installed and the

cutter knives wedge screws are tight.

• Make sure the clamps and locks are tight and there is

not excessive play in any parts.

• Adjust the depth of cut to between 1/32 and 1/16 of an

inch for best results in most operations. A deep cut

makes feeding the wood harder and can cause the

wood to kickback. To be sure you will make a depth of

cut you planned, always lower the infeed table slightly

farther than you wanted then, raise the table to the

desired depth.

• Use The Right Tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to

do a job it was not designed for.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

• To reduce the risk of burns or other fire damage, never

use the jointer/planer near flammable liquids, vapors or

gases.

• Before using the jointer/planer, clear the table of all

objects not needed to feed the workpiece.

• To reduce the risk of injury, don’t do any layout, assem-

bly, or setup work on the jointer/planer bed.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean

for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories.

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears

Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting.

• Make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging jointer/

planer into a power outlet.

Dress for safety.

• Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes.

This can result in permanent eye damage. Always

wear safety goggles, not glasses complying with ANSI

Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94-3-M88) shown on pack-

age. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant

lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles

are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or

goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could

seriously hurt you when they break.

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with

safety goggles.

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

• Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hair.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce the risk of possible

hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using

jointer/planer for hours at a time.

Inspect Your Workpiece

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut.

Plan your cut.

• Small or thin workpieces can kickback when they tip

over on the tables or into the cutter head. To reduce

the risk of cutter head contact or workpiece kickback:

- Never joint, plane or bevel workpieces shorter than

12 inches.

• When jointing or rabbeting:

- Never joint or bevel workpieces less than 3/4 inch

wide or 1/4 inch thick.

- Always use the hold-down/push-blocks when jointing

or beveling wood whenever possible.

- When rabbeting, always make cuts in 1/8" incre-

ments or less.

• When planing or beveling:

- Never plane wood thinner than 1/2 inch.

- Always use hold-down/push-blocks when planing wood.

-Never cut Freehand. Guide your workpiece solidly

against the fence and table top.

- Make sure there’s no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for

any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down

to the table top. Never use another person as additional

support or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.
