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-

Model G0855/G0856 (Mfd. Since 07/18)
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 (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Jointers
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected
from machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback injuries occur from getting struck by workpiece or hands being pulled into cutterhead. To reduce the risk of kickback, only use proper workpieces, safe feeding techniques, and proper machine setup or maintenance.
GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without guards unnecessarily exposes operator to knives/ inserts and other hazardous moving parts. Except when rabbeting, never operate jointer or allow it to be connected to power if any guards are removed. Turn jointer OFF and disconnect power before clearing any shavings or sawdust from around cut­terhead. After rabbeting or maintenance is com­plete, immediately replace all guards and ensure they are properly installed/adjusted before resum­ing regular operations.
DULL OR DAMAGED KNIVES/ INSERTS. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase risk of kickback and cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts.
OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed table too high can cause workpiece to hit table or get stuck while feeding. Setting outfeed table too low may cause workpiece to rock or shift while feeding. Both of these results will increase risk of kickback. Always keep outfeed table even with knives/inserts at highest point during rotation.
INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or kick­back may result from using improper workpieces. Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign material. Always joint warped workpieces with cupped side facing down.
MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of kickback, never cut deeper than
1
8" per pass.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or end grain can increase risk of kickback. It also requires more cutting force, which produces chat­ter or excessive chip out. Always joint or surface plane WITH the grain.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting workpieces that do not meet minimum dimension requirements can result in kickback or accidental contact with cutter­head. Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces smaller than specified in machine data sheet.
PUSH BLOCKS. Push blocks reduce risk of acci­dental cutterhead contact with hands. Always use push blocks when planing materials less than 3" high or wide. Never pass your hands directly over cutterhead without a push block.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Poor workpiece sup­port or loss of workpiece control while feeding will increase risk of kickback or accidental contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece with fence continuously during operation. Support long stock with auxiliary tables if necessary.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or accidental cutterhead contact may result if work­piece is fed into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding. Never start jointer with workpiece touching cutter­head. Always feed workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side without stopping until cut is complete. Never move workpiece backwards while feeding.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improperly set inserts can be thrown from cutter­head with dangerous force. Always verify knives/ inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation. Straight knives should never project more than
1
8" (0.125") from cutterhead body.

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 electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to 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 specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure 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.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

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.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:
Grounding Requirements
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.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the provided plug!
