ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an electrician or qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This eliminates the risk of injury 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.

Additional Safety for Jointers

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips can cause blindness or eye injuries. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce risk, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

SAFETY

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected

from machine at a high rate of speed. To reduce the risk of kickback-related injuries, use quality workpieces, safe feeding techniques, and proper machine setup or maintenance.

GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without

guard exposes operator to knives/inserts. Except when rabbeting, never remove guards for regular operations or while connected to power. 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 adjusted before resuming regular operations.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull knives/

inserts can increase risk of kickback and cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the

end grain also requires more cutting force, which p duces chatter or excessive chip out joint or surface plane WITH the grain.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT.

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed

table too high can cause workpiece to hit table and get stuck, increasing risk of kickback. Setting outfeed table too low may cause workpiece to become tapered from front to back. Always keep outfeed table even with knives/inserts at highest point during rotation.

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or fire

may result from using poor workpieces. Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping should be surface planed first with cupped side facing infeed table.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

SETUP

Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of

cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

. Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is

effective, the coating will wipe off easily.

Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)

. Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the

compound is removed.

. To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,

In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative coating. Before using these products, though, test them on an inconspicuous area of your paint to make sure they will not damage it.

Weight Load

Refer to the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/ covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
