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.

he bare metal surfaces

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.

Machine Placement

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.
