5. MAINTENANCE ............................. 19

6. STABILITY OF MACHINE

If there is any tendency for the Jointer=Planer to tip

over or move during certain operations such as when

pJaning or jointing long heavy boards, the Jointer =

Planer (stand) should be bolted to the floor.

7. LOCATION

The Jointer-Planer should be positioned so neither

the operator nor a casual observer is fo rced to stand in

line with the wood while it is being planed.

This machine is intended for indoor use only. Provide

adequate lighting.

8. KICKBACKS

Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs

when the operator looses control of the workpiece

causing it to be kicked back toward him.

Kickbacks- and possible injury from them can usuaf_y

be avoided by:

a, Holding the workpiece firmly against tables and

fence.

b. Not taking too deep a cut at one time, A deep cut

req uires more effort to feed the wood while planing

and can cause the wood to kickback. A cut between

1/32 and 1/16 of an inch deep wil_ produce the best

results.

9_ PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS, BODY

a. If any part of your jointer is malfunctioning, has

been damaged or broken . . such as the mo:or

Switch, or other operating controF, a safety device

or the power cord.., cease operating immediately

until the particular part is properly repaired or

replaced

b. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1

and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear

plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation,

c. Do not plane, joint, or bevel wood shorter than 12

in. Smaller pieces of wood can tip over on the

tables, or into the cutterhead and be kicked back

toward you.

d. Always use the hold down/push block when j ointing

or beveling wood narrower than 3 in. but never joint

or bevel wood narrower than 3/4 in., or less than t/4

inch thick.

e. Always use the hold down/push blocks when

planing wood thinner than 3 in. but never piane

wood thinner than 1/2 in. under any circumstances.

f. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden

slip could cause a hand to move into the cutters.

g. Never turn your Jointer-Ptaner "ON" before cleadng

the table(s) of all objects (toots, scraps of wood,

etc.) except for the workpiece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned.

h. Make sure the cutterhead revolves in the right

direction, (toward the infeed table).

i. KEEP CUTTER GUARD IN PLACE AND OPERAT-

ING PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES. Regularly check

the tension of the cutter guard spring to assure

satisfactory operation. (See Getting To Know Your

Jointer-Ptaner section.)

j. Always feed the wood completely through the

cutter head and past the cutter guard so that the

guard returns to the rest position against the fence,

When using only one hold down/push Mock to feed

the wood, do not place your other hand on the

Jointer-Planer.

k. Always maintain complete control of the work piece

and provide adequate support for iong and heavy

workpieces.

smaller than recommended. (See section in this

manual, "Basic Jointer_Piane_r operations, ')

Smaller pieces of wOOd can tip over on the tables;

or into the cutter head and can be kicked back

toward you,

d, Keeping blades sharp. Blades that are dull or

nicked require more effort while p_aning and wlli

tend to pound the wood rather than cut it, which

can cause the wood to kickback. A nicked blade will

cut a ridge in your wood and cause the wood to ride

up on the outfeed table. Make sure the cutter blades

are installed properly, and cutter blade wedge

screws are tight.

Not jointing, planing, or beveling pieces of:wood

I0, Warped wood should be surface planed on the concave

side for best resutts_

11. To avoid a rough planed surface, determine if possible,

which way the grain emerges from the wood and feed

the wood accordingly.

GRAIN EMERGING

ROTATION

!2, Do not plane edges of plywood, composition materials,

or wood that has gtue o,n it or is painted or varnished.

Planing these materials will dutl the blades quickly.
