1. Do not operate this jointer when tired, distracted, or
under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication
that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of
debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the
jointer is in operation; do not permit them to operate
the jointer.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches and
switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised
use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious
injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be haz-
ardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and
whenever possible use a dust collector. Wear face,
eye, ear, respiratory and body protection devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck-
laces or other jewelry while the jointer is in operation.

and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and
other clutter are removed from the machine and/or
the table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from knives and all moving
parts. Use a push stick to feed stock, and a brush, not
hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the knives are securely installed in the cut-
terhead.
11. Always use clean, properly sharpened knives. Dirty or
dull knives are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
12. If using a power feeder,stop the feeder before stopping
the jointer.
13. Do not push or force stock into the cutter head. The
jointer will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.
14. Be sure that the cutter head has gained full operating
speed before starting to joint.
15. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions.
Do not overreach and keep both feet on floor.
16. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard

Additional Safety
Instructions for Jointers
Because each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can ever be complete.
The most important safety feature of any shop is the knowledge and good judgement of the user. Use common
sense and always keep safety considerations, as they apply to your individual shop conditions, first and foremost
in mind. If you have any doubts about the safety of an operation you are about to perform: STOP! Do not perform
the operation until you have validated from qualified individuals if the operation is safe to perform and what is
the safest method to perform it.
1. WORK PIECE KICKBACK
Kickback is when the work piece is ejected at
high speeds from the jointer table by the force
of the cutter head. To minimize the risk of injury
from kickback, always use push blocks and
wear safety glasses. Do not operate this
machine if you do not understand kickback, its
causes and how to avoid it.
2.
CUTTER HEAD ALIGNMENT
To reduce the risk of injury and to avoid kickback, keep the top edge of the outfeed table
aligned with the top dead center edge of the
knife.
3.
PUSH BLOCKS
Always use push blocks when jointing. Never
pass your bare hands directly over the cutter
head without a push block to hold and guide
the workpiece.
4.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT
To make safe cuts and reduce the risk of injury,
support the workpiece adequately at all times.
Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable
workpiece.
5.
KICKBACK ZONE
The kickback zone on a jointer is the area
directly in the path through and off of the end
of the infeed table. Never stand or allow others
to stand in this area during operation.
6.
MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT
The maximum depth of cut for one pass is 1/8”.
Never attempt to remove more material than
1/8” in any single pass.
7.
JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN
Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain
is dangerous and could produce chatter or
excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.
8.
KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE
Except when rabbeting, all operations must be
performed with the guard in place. After
rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.
9.
PROPER CUTTING
Always move the work piece over the cutter
head from the infeed table towards the outfeed
table until the work piece has passed completely over the cutter head. Never back the
work piece towards the infeed table.
10.
USING GOOD WORK PIECE STOCK
Jointing safety begins with the stock used with
the machine. Inspect the work piece carefully
before jointing it. Never joint a board that has
loose knots, staples, nails or other embedded
foreign objects. If you have the slightest doubt
about the structural integrity or stability of a
board: Do Not Joint It.
6
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE,VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMA GE TO THE MACHINE.IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 220V equipment. If you find it necessary,
use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged
extension cord or plug immediately.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for
the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying
chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used
based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
number, the heavier the gauge.
NOTE: VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND AMPERAGE DRAW FOR M2 & M3 3-PHASE MOTORS MAY NOT BE FULLY
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. FOR COMPLETE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS REFER TO THE MOTOR I.D. NAME PLATE ON
THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A LICENSED QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE PROCEEDING.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of this machine is wired for 220V single
phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord A and a 3-prong grounded plug B to fit a matching grounding type receptacle C.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED ! If it will not fit your recepta-
cle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand these grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
CIRCUIT CAP
ACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician
or our service department.

CLEAN UP
The protective coating on the jointer tables prevents rust from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by
rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solventsoaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by
clean-up with solvent.Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
This machine should be installed and operated only on a
solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the jointer and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to
work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic
(either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or
other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a safety zone around shop
machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid accidents that
could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint
(using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take
steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is
running for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
