Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

-7-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Jointers

JOINTER INJURY RISKS. Familiarize yourself

with the main injury risks associated with joint­ers—always use common sense and good judge­ment to reduce your risk of injury. Main injury
risks from jointers: amputation/lacerations from
contact with the moving cutterhead, entangle­ment/crushing injuries from getting caught in mov­ing parts, blindness or eye injury from flying wood
chips, or impact injuries from workpiece kickback.

KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kick­back and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback”
occurs during the operation when the workpiece is
ejected from the machine at a high rate of speed.
Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece
selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper
machine setup/maintenance. Kickback injuries
typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders
are struck by the workpiece, resulting in impact
injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises,
death); (2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.

GUARD REMOVAL. Except when rabbeting,
never remove guards during operation or while
connected to power. Always replace guard after
rabbeting. You could be seriously injured if you
accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead or
get entangled in moving parts. Before removing
sawdust, turn jointer OFF and disconnect power
before clearing. Immediately replace guards.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use
sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull, damaged
or rusted knives/inserts increase risk of kickback.

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. To reduce the
risk of kickback and personal injuries, keep the
outfeed table even with the knives/inserts at top
dead center (the highest point during rotation).
If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece
may rock against the cutterhead. If the table is set
too high, the workpiece may hit the outfeed table
and get stuck over the cutterhead.

INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of
kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting.
Verify the workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose
knots or other foreign material. Workpieces with
minor warping should be surface planed first with
the cupped side facing the infeed table.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain
or end grain increases the required cutting force,
which could produce chatter or excessive chip
out, and lead to kickback.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of
accidental cutterhead contact or kickback, never
perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on

3

pieces smaller than 8" long,

⁄4" wide, or 1⁄4" thick.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce the risk

1

of kickback, never cut deeper than

⁄8" per pass.

PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce the risk of accidental
cutterhead contact, always use push blocks when
planing materials less than 3" high or wide. Never
pass your hands directly over the cutterhead with­out a push block.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce acciden­tal cutterhead contact and kickback, support
workpiece continuously during operation. Position
and guide workpiece with fence; support long or
wide stock with auxiliary stands.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the
risk of kickback, never start jointer with workpiece
touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach
full speed before feeding. Never back work toward
the infeed table.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can become dangerous
projectles or cause machine damage. Always ver­ify knives/inserts are secure and properly adjust­ed before operation. Straight knives should never

1

project more than

⁄8" (0.125 ") from cutterhead

body.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man­ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Site Considerations

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi­cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.

Electrical Installation

Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.

or impede the operator must be eliminated.
