9
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.)
Kickback Zone. The path directly behind the end of the in-feed table is referred to as the28.“Kickback zone”. NEVER stand or allow others to stand in this area while the machine is
running. Position yourself to one side of the machine while the jointer/planer is running.
Using Quality Stock. Inspect the stock over carefully that you intend to joint or plane.29.NEVER joint or plane a board that has knots, staples, or nails in it. DO NOT joint or plane a
piece of stock if you have any doubts about its structural integrity.
Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools30.have been removed.
Support the piece part. Supporting the piece part adequately while cutting, is crucial to31.making safe cuts and avoiding possible operator injury.
Proper cutting. While cutting, always keep the piece part moving towards the out-feed table32.until it has completely passed over the cutterhead. NEVER back the piece part toward the in-
feed table.
Dull / Damaged Knives. Use only sharp, undamaged knives to avoid unnecessary kickback33.of the piece part. Dull and damaged knives will also affect cut quality.
Maximum Cutting Depth. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1/8” (3.2mm). Never34.set the machine to cut deeper than this in one pass.
Grain Direction. There is an increased chance of kickback when jointing or planing end35.grain or against the grain. This could also produce chatter and excessive chip out of the
material.
Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet36.locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
Cutterhead Alignment. Keep the top edge of the out-feed table aligned with the cutterhead37.knife at top dead center (TDC). This will help to avoid kickback and possible operator
injuries.
Clearing Chips and Debris. Chips and dust build-up can present an injury hazard and38.affect the cut. Turn the machine OFF, allow the tooling to cool, and vacuum away the debris.
Feeding the Piece Part. ALWAYS feed the piece part against the rotation of the cutter.39.NEVER force materials through the shaper. Excessive force against the shaper cutter will
cause dangerous kickback conditions and can result in poor cuts.
Hand Positioning. NEVER place hands directly over or in front of the cutter. ALWAYS keep40.hand at least 6” (150mm) away from the cutter while operating.

10
10
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.)
Blade Height. Adjust the blade to the correct height41.above the piece part so it does not kickback toward
the operator causing injury.
Supporting Piece Part. Provide adequate support to42.the sides and rear of the table for material that is
extra wide and long.
Push Blocks. Push blocks or push sticks43.should be used in situations where it is
necessary to push the piece part against the
fence. Such as when machining narrow
stock, where there is a risk of your hands
and fingers contacting the rotating blade,
resulting in serious personal injury, or
when surface planing. DO NOT pass your
hands directly over the cutterhead without
using a push block.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting:
Always lift and carry the machine with straps on each end for balance.
Use straps capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the machine.
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
Use Lift Truck To Transport Machine
Place the wooden crate in the middle of the forks and keep at least 2” (50.8mm) distance
between the front of the forks and the wooden crate to avoid the case collapsing and secure
safe transport.
The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2 times the machines gross weight.
Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain at least 6 ft. (2m) safe clearance zone around the transport area.
Use Gantry Or Crane To Move Machine
Lift the machine from the base, NEVER use the jointer
tables as lifting point.
When lifting, verify that the lifting straps are long enough
to maintain a full spread toward the outer edges of the
machine as well as toward the lift hook to allow the straps
to lift as straight as possible.
DO NOT allow the lifting straps to pinch or bend lite
weight components.
Protect the lifting straps from sharp edges and corners
that may wear or cut on the lifting straps.
CAUTION:Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled
workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the
machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other
machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the machine is
important for safe and efficient working conditions.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
Overall weight of the machine.
Weight of material being processed.
Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
Operating/room temperature: +50° to +104°F (+10° to +40°C).
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
It is important to maintain free area around the machine,
which is required for the working place. If any long material is
machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of
the machine as well behind it in the places of material input
and output.
In order to maintain and operate the machine properly, it
must be set up at least 20” (508mm) away from the wall,
parallel to the work direction.
Before beginning assembly, take note of the following precautions and suggestions.
The machine is bolted to the pallet. Before attempting any of the assembly procedures
remove all of the loose parts and hardware from the inside of the machine and unbolt the
machine from the pallet.
FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting both the weight of the machine and the operator. The floor
WARNING: Before operating; make sure it is positioned firmly on a solid
work surface. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death.

14
14
should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to eliminate
by using shims.
WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be processed.
Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
OUTLET PLACEMENT: Outlets should be located
close enough to the machine so that the power cord
or extension cord is not in an area where it would
cause a tripping hazard. Be sure to observe all
electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or
outlets.
If necessary, the machine can be bolted down to the
floor with the transport brackets.
Remove the oxidation protective layer from all blank
machine parts. 1) Transport brackets
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy oil coating and grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. To remove this protective coating, use a degreaser or solvent
cleaner. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be removed. DO
NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
WARNING:DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION:When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.
