AF@EK<IB@:B98:B% "Kickback"is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the
cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from “kick-
back.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, ;FEFK operate this machine.
:LKK<I?<8;8C@>ED<EK%Keep the edge of the cutterhead knives at top dead center (TDC) even with
the top edge of the outfeed table to avoid kickback and personal injuries.
NFIBG@<:<JLGGFIK%Supporting the workpiece adequately at all times while jointing is crucial for
making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.
GLJ?9CF:BJ% Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over
the cutterhead without a push block.
B@:B98:BQFE<% The "kickback zone" is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never
stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.
D8O@DLD:LKK@E>;<GK?% The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1⁄8". Never attempt any single
cut deeper than this!
AF@EK@E>N@K?K?<>I8@E. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could pro-
duce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.
:LKK<I?<8;>L8I;% All operations must be performed with the cutterhead guard in place. Always
ensure that the cutterhead guard is in proper working condition before operating the jointer.
GIFG<I :LKK@E>% When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until
the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed
table.
LJ@E>>FF;JKF:B%Jointing safety begins with the choice of stock. Inspect your stock carefully before
feeding it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have
any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!
<OG<I@<E:@E>;@==@:LCK@<J%If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at [phone].
