Additional Safety for Planers/Moulders

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

SAFETY

KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kick-

back and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback” occurs during the operation when the workpiece is ejected from the machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine setup/ maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death); (2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade, resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.

AVOID MOVING PARTS. Never remove guards/

covers or reach inside the machine during operation or while connected to power. You could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn machine OFF and disconnect power before clearing.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES. Only use sharp,

undamaged knives. Dull or damaged knivesincrease the risk of kickback.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the grain is

hard on the machine and may cause kickback. Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natu-

ral wood stock. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials that can break up inside the machine and be ejected towards the operator.

LOOKING INSIDE MACHINE. Wood chips fly

around inside machine at a high rate of speed during operation. To reduce risk of injury from flying material, DO NOT look inside machine during operation.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce risk of kick-

back hazards or damage to machine, do not exceed maximum depth of cut or minimum board length and thickness found in Data Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.

INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed roller

is designed to pull material into the spinning cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the risk

of kickback, never start machine w ith workpiece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding, and do not change feed speed during cutting operation.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce risk of kick-

back, always make sure workpiece can move completely across table without rocking or tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long stock. Verify workpiece has enough room to exit machine before starting.

SECURE KNIVES. Loose knives can become dan-

gerous projectiles or cause machine damage. Always verify knives are secure and properly adjusted before operation.

INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of kick-

back injuries or machine damage, thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping should be jointed first or planed with the cupped side facing the infeed table.

BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of

machine during the entire operation to avoid getting hit if kickback occurs.

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.
