Standard.Machinery.Safety.Instructions
OWNER’S.MANUAL..Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED.OPERATORS.ONLY..Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS.ENVIRONMENTS..Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL.ALERTNESS.REQUIRED..Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL.EQUIPMENT.INJURY.RISKS..You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded 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.
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.
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.
MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of kickback, never cut deeper than 1⁄8” per pass.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or end grain can increase the risk of kickback. It also requires more cutting force, which produces chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint or surface plane WITH the grain.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting a workpiece that does not meet the minimum dimension requirements can result in breakup, kickback, or accidental contact with cutterhead during operation. Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces smaller than 8" long, 3⁄4" wide, or 1⁄4" thick.
PUSH BLOCKS. Not using push blocks when surface planing may result in accidental cutterhead contact. Always use push blocks when planing materials less than 3" high or wide. Never pass your hands directly over cutterhead without a push block.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Loss of workpiece control while feeding can increase risk of kickback or accidental contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece continuously during operation. Support long or wide stock with auxiliary stands.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or accidental cutterhead contact may result if workpiece is fed into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding. Never start jointer with workpiece touching cutterhead. Always feed workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side without stopping until cut is complete. Never back work toward infeed table.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improperly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation. Straight knives should never project more than 1⁄8" (0.125") from cutterhead body.

Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipmentgrounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.
For 240V Connection
This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and NEMA 6-20 grounding plug. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see Figure) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Cleaning Machine
To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention compound.
If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
•Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax and grease
•Safety glasses & disposable gloves
•Solvent brush or paint brush
•Disposable Rags
To.remove.rust.preventative.coating,.do.these.steps:
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
3.Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
4.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.)
5.Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the compound is removed.
6.To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces, immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.
