SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MACHINESWITHA SPIRAL
CUTTERHEAD
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing
how your machine works. Read and understand the following safety
rules before operating.
1. For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual before
operating the planer.
2. Be sure that the cutterhead inserts are securely installed in the
cutterhead.
3. Always use clean, properly sharpened inserts. Dirty or dull inserts
are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
4. Do not force stock into the cutterhead. The machine will perform
better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was
designed.
5. Be sure that the cutterhead has gained full operating speed
before starting to joint/plane a workpiece.
6. Inspect stock and remove all foreign objects before jointing/
planing. Make sure that all stock is clean and free of any dirt,
nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may
damage the inserts. Only process natural solid wood boards.
Never joint/plane MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other
synthetic materials.
7. Do not operate this machine when tired, distracted, or under the
effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or
alertness.
8. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be
removed for maintenance or cleaning be sure it is properly
re-attached before using the machine again.
9. Kickback is when the workpiece is ejected at high speeds by the
force of the cutterhead. To minimize the risk of injury from
kickback, use proper feeding technique and stand to one side, out
of the path of a potential kickback.
10. Place stock firmly against the table and use suitable in-feed and
out-feed support if stock is too long.
11. Always use push blocks for jointing material less than 3” in height.
12. Do not perform planing operations on material shorter than 6”,
narrower than 3/4” or less than 1/2” thick.
13. Never make jointing or planing cuts, deeper than 1/8”. On cuts
more than 1-1/2” wide, adjust depth of cut to 1/16” or less to avoid
overloading machine and to minimize chance of kick-back (work
thrown back toward you).
