• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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.
