GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For
All
Tools)
1.
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn the
tools applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards
peculiar to
it.
2.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and
in
working order.
3.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it
on.
4.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
in
damp
or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
6.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work
area.
7.
MAKE WORKSHOP KID
PROOF
with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
8.
DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it
was designed.
9.

it
was not designed.
10.

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught
in
moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if
cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
12.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer
than using your hand and
it
frees both hands to operate tool.
13.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

inch, or
wider than (the cutter capacity
in
inches) or thinner than
1/2
inch.
4.
Don't use the tool
in

switch is turned
11.
Wait
until
the blades attain full speed before cutting.
12.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
13. Don't back the workpiece toward the infeed table.
14.
Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness stock can be passed
through the auto-planer side by side.
However, allow some spacing between the stock to permit the feed rollers
to grip the thinnest piece.
Otherwise, a slightly thinner piece could be kicked back by the cutterhead.
15. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
16. Always switch off and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before
