14. Never joint wood less than 8" long, widths under 3/4", or material less than 1/4" thick.
15. Never make cuts deeper than 1/8”. Multiple cuts, 1/16" or less, produce better finish results.
16. Make sure there are no loose knots, nails, staples, dirt or foreign objects in the workpiece to be surfaced.
17. Use extra caution with large, warped, very small or awkward workpieces. Joint warped boards flat before planing.
18. Use extra supports (roller stands, saw horses, tables etc, for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top surfaces.
19. Surface wood in the same direction of the grain, not across the grain. Never plane end cuts or end grain.
20. Joint and plane only one workpiece at a time. Vary the feeding of the workpieces along the cutterhead,
center/left/right, so that all of the knives get used and thus remain sharp, longer.
21. Never reach inside of a running machine, and avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause ngers or a hand to move into the cutterhead.
22. Do not clear a jammed workpiece while the machine is running. Stop the machine, unplug it from the power
scource, and then remove the jammed workpiece. Lowering the table may be necessary to dislodge the workpiece.
23. Keep your face and body to one side of the machine during use, out of line with a possible 'kick back' (lumber
caught in by the rotating cutterehead and thrown back towards the operator).
24. The use of any accessories or attachments not recommended may cause injury to you and damage your machine.
25. Sharpen or replace dull or chipped knives immediately, as injury to the user, or the machine, may result.
26. Replacement knives/inserts should be from, or through a source recommended by the manufacturer.
27. Remove material or debris from the work area. Keep work area neat and clean.
Use of this planer/jointer still presents risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer. Therefore,
This owner’s manual is not a teaching aid and is intended to show
