ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR PLANER
1.
This machine has been designed with as many safety features as humanly possible, however, always remember
that a planer is only as safe as its operator.
2.
Before starting the planer, be sure to check the following:
A.
Table must be completely free of all foreign matter.
B.
Cutterhead knives MUST be inspected before each operation. Check for tightness in cutterhead and make
certain knives are not fractured in any place. Flying knives are DANGEROUS.
C.
Check knives for sharpness.
3.
Check material thickness and depth of cut desired. NEVER overload planer, or try to cut beyond its capacity.
4.
As material is fed into machine, stand to side of board near switch (never directly behind)."Kick-back" is caused
by improper grip of lumber by infeed roll and chipbreaker, can cause serious injury.
5.
NEVER stand directly behind or work behind machine when it is running. Direction of cutterhead rotation
usually throws chips or any foreign material from rear of machine.

In case it is necessary to stop material as it is through machine, switch off feed system and turn machine off.
WAIT until cutterhead has completely stopped before lowering table to remove material. Attempted removal
while cutterhead is turning may cause "Kick-back".
