Work Area
TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, FIRE AND SHOCK, MAKE SURE YOUR
WORK AREA IS:
Free of damp, wet or rainy conditions.
Free of children (never let them handle tools or machinery).
Well-lit.
Clean and uncluttered.
Before Operating
Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Before operating your Jointer check for damaged parts.
Make certain that the power is OFF before plugging the tool in.
Make sure all clamps, locks and bolts are tight.
Use grounded receptacle only for 110 Volt hook-up.
Give the Jointer a test run. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates irregularly, turn it off, unplug it and have
the problem corrected by a qualified service technician.
Keep the Cutterhead sharp and free of all rust and pitch.
ALWAYS use a push block when jointing stock.
DO NOT perform jointing operations on materials shorter than 8 inches, narrower than 3/4 inches, or less than
1/4 inch thick.
DO NOT make cuts deeper than 1/8" on a single pass.
Check the feed rollers to be sure chips and sawdust are not caught in them. If the Rollers are not seated
firmly, the Feed Rolls will not hold the stock firmly against the bed. This may result in kickback during
operation.
Make certain to turn off and unplug the Jointer when doing any adjustments or maintenance. The tool should
always be turned off and unplugged when not in use.
Keep Guards in place and in working order.
Note:
Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension Cord usage
may also affect tool performance.

toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin
cintact.
