DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS. Setting up this machine
requires the operator to work near the exposed
cutter. Always disconnect power BEFORE mak-
ing adjustments or serious personal injury may
occur.
LOOSE CUTTER. Starting the machine with
a loose cutter may eject the cutter from the
machine at a high rate of speed, causing serious
personal injury to the operator or bystanders.
Always double-check that the cutter is tight after
adjusting.
REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Starting
the machine with a wrench left in the spindle
adjustment screw can result in serious personal
injury. Always remove any wrenches or other
adjustment tools from the machine after adjust-
ments have been made and before starting the
machine.
DUST COLLECTION. Using dust collection
when operating this machine greatly reduces fly-
ing debris and fine airborne dust, which reduces
the risk of personal injury form these hazards.
Always use a dust collection system when oper-
ating this machine.
GUARD. The guard helps protect the operator
from the spinning cutter and flying debris during
operation. Never operate the dovetail machine or
allow it to be connected to power when the guard
is removed or serious personal injury may occur.
SAFETY GLASSES. Even with the guard in place,
chips may eject from the machine. Operator and
bystanders MUST wear safety glasses to prevent
eye injuries/
CLAMP PRESSURE. Improperly clamped stock
may be ejected from the rear of the machine dur-
ing operation. Check clamping pressure by try-
ing to move the clamped workpiece by hand—a
properly clamped workpiece will not move when
tugged. Improper clamping pressure with pneu-
matic clamps is most often caused by the clamp
bracket not being adjusted parallel to the table or
the air pressure being regulated too low at the air
supply unit.
CUTTER STARTING POSITION. Starting the
machine with the cutter against a workpiece or
fence may eject debris from the machine and
most likely will ruin the workpiece or cutter. Move
the cutter clear of any contact before starting the
machine!
Additional Safety for Dovetail Machines
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
