SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust

masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t

make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.

2. Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this machine.

3. Kickback. Become familiar with the term “Kickback” before operating this jointer/planer.
Kickback occurs when the piece part is thrown off the table by the force of the cutter head.
Always use push blocks and wear safety glasses to reduce the likelihood for serious injury.

4. Kickback Zone. The path directly behind the end of the in-feed table is referred to as the
“Kickback zone”. NEVER stand or allow others to stand in this area while the machine is
running. Position yourself to one side of the machine while the jointer/planer is running.

5. Using Quality Stock. Inspect the stock over carefully that you intend to joint or plane.
NEVER joint or plane a board that has knots, staples, or nails in it. DO NOT joint or plane a
piece of stock if you have any doubts about its structural integrity.

6. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.

7

7

7. Dull / Damaged Knives. Use only sharp, undamaged knives to avoid unnecessary kickback
of the piece part. Dull and damaged knives will also affect cut quality.

8. Maximum Cutting Depth. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1/8” (3.2mm). Never
set the machine to cut deeper than this in one pass.

9. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

10. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.

11. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

12. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles

13. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or
across a running machine.

14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or
machine when you are tired.

15. Grain Direction. There is an increased chance of kickback when jointing or planing end
grain or against the grain. This could also produce chatter and excessive chip out of the
material.

16. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

17. DO NOT bypass or defeat any safety interlock systems.

18. Know the location of the ON - OFF switch and the “E” - STOP button.

19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.

20. Push Blocks. Always use push blocks when surface planing. DO NOT pass your hands
directly over the cutterhead without using a push block.

21. Cutterhead Alignment. Keep the top edge of the out-feed table aligned with the cutterhead
knife at top dead center (TDC). This will help to avoid kickback and possible operator
injuries.

22. Keep Guards in Place. All operations are to be performed with the cutterhead guard in
place.

23. Support the piece part. Supporting the piece part adequately while cutting, is crucial to
making safe cuts and avoiding possible operator injury.

24. Proper cutting. While cutting, always keep the piece part moving towards the out-feed table
until it has completely passed over the cutterhead. NEVER back the piece part toward the in­feed table.

8

WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on

the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance on your planer should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is
in good working order. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year
but more often if the lathe receives constant use.

 Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
 Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
 On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
 Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
 Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.

Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.

 Check all fasteners to make sure they are tight and check all adjustments that they are in

order.

 Clean and oil the tables so that the material will slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may

develop on the bed with a commercial rust remover.

 Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the machine in order to keep chips and

sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.

 Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.
 Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.

Anti-Reject Arms

 The machine is equipped with a series of anti-reject arms which run continually as they pivot

idly in relation to the supporting pin and operate with any thickness of wood, thus preventing
the workpiece from being rejected in the direction of the operator and ensuring efficient active
protection.

 Before starting work, check that all the arms rotate freely on their axis.
 To prevent any of the arms from sticking or seizing keep them constantly clean and remove

any shavings or pieces of wood which are stuck between them with a strong blast of
compressed air.

 Any residual resin must be removed by washing the entire unit using a brush and turpentine

and drying with compressed air.

 The machine is fitted with an over stroke limiting bar for preventing removal exceeding 0.31”

(8mm)

Additional Maintenance procedures

1. The belt must never come into contact with solvents or lubricants.

2. The shaft bearings in the machine do not need to be lubricated, as there is sufficient grease

inside to last their entire working life.

3. Grease driving shaft of the table.

4. Grease rotation hinge of the planing table.

5. Grease driving chain of the feeding rollers.

6. As well as these points, clean and oil all moving parts, rods, threaded bars, pins and any part

that may be subject to oxidation.
