To control maintenance dangers:
Lockout procedures must be followed (see ANSI Standard
Z244.1-1982 and OSHA regulation 1910.147).
Never rely on machine stop control for maintenance safety (emer-
gency stops, on/off buttons, interlocks).
Do not reach into moving blades or feed systems. Allow all coast-
ing parts to come to a complete stop.
Electrical power supply and air supply must both be locked out.
Where established lockout procedures cannot be used (electrical
troubleshooting or mechanical dynamic troubleshooting), alterna-
tive effective protective techniques shall be employed which may
require special skills and planning.
Always follow safe operations practices in the workplace.
EDGER LOCKOUT PROCEDURE
Lockout procedures must be followed (see ANSI Standard Z244.1-1982 and OSHA regu-
lation 1910.147).
Purpose:
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for lockout of energy sources that
could cause injury.
Responsibility:
The responsibility for seeing that this procedure is followed is binding upon all workers. All
workers shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure. It is your
responsibility to ensure safe operation of the machine.
Sequence of Lockout Procedure:
1. Notify all persons that a lockout is required and the reason therefore.
2. If the edger is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure.
3. Operate the switch so that the energy sources are disconnected or isolated from the
edger. Stored energy such as moving blades and feed system shall be dissipated.
4. Lockout the energy isolating devices with assigned individual locks.
5. After ensuring that no persons are exposed and as a check on having disconnected the
energy sources, operate the push button or other normal operating controls to make cer-
tain the edger will not operate. Caution: Return operating controls to neutral position after
the test.

edger area to see that no one is exposed.
2. When the edger is all clear, remove all locks. The energy isolating devices may be oper-
ated to restore energy to the edger.
Procedure Involving More Than One Person
In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to lock out the edger, each
shall place his own personal lock on the energy isolating devices.
Rules for Using Lockout Procedure
The edger shall be locked out to protect against accidental or inadvertent operation when
such operation could cause injury to personnel. Do not attempt to operate any switch or
valve bearing a lock.
Owner’s Responsibility
The procedures listed in this manual may not include all ANSI, OSHA, or locally required
safety procedures. It is the owner/operator’s responsibility and not Wood-Mizer Products

SECTION 3 EDGER SETUP
3.1 Setting Up the Edger
1. Lower and set the front two outriggers. To lower, use the provided jack handle to lift the
weight from the locking pin. If necessary, rotate the locking pin counterclockwise so that
the inner roll pin is free from the outrigger channel notch, then pull the locking pin out to
release the outrigger. Lower the outrigger as necessary. Push the locking pin back in and
turn clockwise until the inner roll pin is behind the outrigger channel notch to “lock” the
outrigger in place.
See Figure 3-1.

2. Unhitch the Edger from the vehicle.
See Figure 3-2. When towing, the hitch can be used in the upper or lower hitch receiver
tube. For storage, however, the hitch must be in the lower hitch receiver tube. To store,
move the hitch safety pin to the upper receiver tube. Make sure the hitch lock lever is
folded down and slide the hitch all the way back into the lower receiver tube.
3. Lower and set the remaining two rear outriggers.
4. Level the Edger. Adjust the outriggers to raise or lower each end of the Edger as needed.
Adjust all outriggers evenly to avoid twisting the Edger frame by jacking one outrigger
higher than the other.
CAUTION! Use the four outriggers on each corner of the
Edger to level the machine prior to operating. Failure to do
so can and will affect machine operation and wear life.
5. Remove the front shipping braces and loosen the rear bolts used to secure the outfeed
table in the travel position. Place the outfeed table behind the Edger in the operating posi-
tion and retighten the rear bolts to secure in place.
Make sure the outfeed table is level with the rest of the Edger. Place blocks under the
table if necessary.
