17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in
power cord. In the event of a power failure, move switch
to the “OFF” position.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only. 21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
22.
STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER
TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR
MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
P O W E R S U P P LY w h i l e m o t o r i s b e i n g m o u n t e d ,
connected or reconnected.
24. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood
products can be injurious to your health. Always operate
machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper
dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever
possible.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR JOINTERS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1. WARNING: Do not operate the jointer until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
2.
IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper-
ation of jointers, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.
3.
KEEP cutterhead sharp and free of all rust and
pitch.
4.
BEFORE starting machine, check cutterhead guard
to make sure it is not damaged and operates freely.
5.
ALWAYS make sure exposed cutterhead behind the
fence is guarded, especially when jointing near the edge.
6.
NEVER perform jointing or surfacing operations with
the cutterhead guard removed.
7.
MAKE CERTAIN the infeed and outfeed tables are
tightened before starting the machine.
8.
NEVER start the jointer with the workpiece
contacting the cutterhead.
9.
ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly against the
tables and fence.
10. NEVER perform any operation “Free-hand” which
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece. ALWAYS use the fence to position and guide
the work.
11. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the cutterhead.
12. ALWAYS use hold-down/push blocks for jointing
material less than 3 inches in height or surfacing material
thinner than 3 inches.
13. DO NOT perform jointing operations on material
shorter than 10 inches, narrower than 3/4 inch or less
than 1/2 inch thick.
14. DO NOT perform surfacing operations on material
shorter than 10 inches, narrower than 3/4 inch, wider
than 6 inches or less than 1/2 inch thick.
15. NEVER make jointing or surfacing cuts deeper than
1/8 inch. On cuts more than 1-1/2 inches wide, adjust
depth of cut to 1/16 inch or less to avoid overloading
machine and to minimize chance of kick-back (work
thrown back toward you).
16. MAINTAIN the proper relationship of infeed and
outfeed table surfaces and cutterhead knife path.
17. SUPPORT the workpiece adequately at all times
during operation; maintain control of the work at all
times.
18. DO NOT back the workpiece toward the infeed
table.
19. DO NOT attempt to perform an abnormal or little-
used operation without study and the use of adequate
hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, push
blocks, etc.
20. SHUT OFF power before servicing or adjusting jointer.
21. DISCONNECT jointer from power source and clean
the machine before leaving it.
22. MAKE SURE the work area is clean before leaving
the machine.
23. SHOULD any part of your jointer be missing,
damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical component
fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or
failed parts before resuming operation.
24. THE USE of attachments and accessories not
recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injuries.
