operation of the equipment.

1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,

limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future reference.

2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.

3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-

hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet

the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.

Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.

6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.

7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.

8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.

10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

11. Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

-4-

12. DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry; and secure long hair

away from moving parts.

15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check

that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good

condition. Use the “Extension Cord Requirements” table below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and lock mobile base from freely rolling before using

your machine.

18. DO NOT leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

SAFETY

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. DO NOT operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men- tioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the

machine! Contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22. Habits are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and consistent safety practices will

become second-nature to you.

Safety Instructions for Your Jointer

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS WITH YOUR LUMBER. Inspect your workpiece carefully before you feed

it over the cutterhead. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your workpiece, DO NOT JOINT IT! Unstable workpieces can result in kickback.

2. MAINTAIN THE PROPER ALIGNMENT of the outfeed table with the cutterhead knife.

3. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS WHEN JOINTING. Never allow your hands to get near the cutterhead.

4. SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER THE WORKPIECE at all times during operation.

5. WHEN JOINTING, DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY BEHIND THE WORKPIECE. Position yourself just to the

side of the infeed table to avoid possible kickbacks.

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

SAFETY

6. NEVER MAKE CUTS deeper than

7. NEVER JOINT A WORKPIECE THAT HAS LOOSE KNOTS, NAILS, STAPLES, OR EMBEDDED

DIRT/STONES. All defects and foreign objects should be removed before use.

8. NEVER JOINT END GRAIN.

9. ALL OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED WITH THE GUARD IN PLACE.

10. NEVER CHANGE FEEDING DIRECTIONS DURING A CUT. Any time the workpiece moves backwards,

the chances of kickback and injury are greatly increased.

11. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table from the force of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from “kickback.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.

12. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION in people and animals,

especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to and always wear an approved respirator.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

The

SHOP FOX

motor draws approximately 12 amps.

Since other machines may be using the same circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker, or fuse can carry the total load without tripping. If the total amperage load of all machines and the jointer exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit that can carry the load.

DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker with a breaker rated for a higher amperage. The breaker and the complete circuit must be replaced by a qualified electrician, otherwise the wires can overheat and cause a fire.

Shop Preparation

ONLY ALLOW TRAINED PEOPLE in your shop! Make sure shop entrances are locked and machines are correctly turned off with lock-out devices when not in use. Otherwise, injury or death can occur.

Initial Cleaning

The exposed and unpainted jointer surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine based solutions or solvents to remove the this waxy oil, or you will damage the painted surfaces. Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based degreaser before you use the jointer. Always follow all usage and safety instructions of the product that you are using.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain.

• Working Clearances: Consider your current and future shop needs with respect to the safe operation of this machine.

• Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have the capacity to handle the amperage requirements for your Model W1694. Refer to page 9 for more information. Electrical outlets should be located near the lathe, so power or extension cords are clear of hightraffic areas.

Dust Collection

THIS MACHINE produces sawdust that may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems. Wear a dust mask or respirator in addition to using a dust collection system.

For information on the correct dust collection components for the jointer, contact your Woodstock International dealer for a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and available accessories.

DO NOT use flammables such as gas or other petroleum-based solvents to clean your machine. These products have low flash points and present the risk of explosion and severe personal injury!

DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents. Smoking may cause explosion or risk of fire when exposed to these products!

ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area when using solvents with fumes, and keep away from any potential ignition sources (pilot lights). Most solvents used to clean machinery are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always dispose of waste rags in a sealed container to make sure they do not cause fire or environmental hazards.
