ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions. A
machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar
with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4. KEEP KNIVES SHARP and free from rust and pitch. Dull or
rusted knives work harder and can cause kickback.
5. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying debris can
cause serious injury.
6. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the workpiece
contacting the cutterhead. Kickback can occur.
7. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE to
prevent the machine from sliding, walking or tipping over.
8. PROPERLY SECURE THE KNIVES IN THE CUTTERHEAD
before turning the power “ON”. Loose blades may be
thrown out at high speeds causing serious injury.
9. LOCK THE SPEED SETTING SECURELY before feeding the
workpiece through the machine. Changing speeds while
planing can cause kick-back.
10. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS. A
sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the knives.
11. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the
cutterhead, the chip exhaust opening, and the feed rollers
to prevent severe cuts.
12. NEVER REACH INTO THE CUTTERHEAD AREA while the
machine is running. Your hands can be drawn into the
knives.
13. DO NOT STAND IN LINE OF THE WORKPIECE. Kickback
can cause injury.
14. ALLOW THE CUTTERHEAD TO REACH FULL SPEED before
feeding a workpiece. Changing speeds while planing can
cause kickback.
15. WHEN PLANING BOWED STOCK, place the concave (cup
down) side of the stock on the table and cut with the grain
to prevent kickback.
16. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE that is warped, contains knots,
or is embedded with foreign objects (nails, staples, etc.).
Kickback can occur.
17. DO NOT FEED A SHORT, THIN, OR NARROW WORKPIECE
INTO THE MACHINE. Your hands can be drawn into the
knives and/or the workpiece can be thrown at high speeds.
See the “OPERATION” section of this instruction manual
for details.
18. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE into the outfeed end of the
machine. The workpiece will be thrown out of the opposite
side at high speeds.
19. REMOVE SHAVINGS ONLY with the power “OFF” to prevent
serious injury.
20. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of
control of the workpiece can cause serious injury.
21. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY or set-up work on the
table/work area when the machine is running. Serious injury
will result.
22. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE
POWER SOURCE, and clean the table/work area before
leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF”
POSITION to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else
might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to
themselves or others.
