Hand safety. It is good practice to move the hands
in an alternate motion from back to front as the
work continues through the cut. Never pass the
hands directly over the cutter knife. As one hand
approaches the knives remove it from the stock in
an arc motion and place it back on the stock in a
position beyond the cutterknife.
Three inch rule. When working a piece of wood on
the jointer, follow the 3 inch radius rule. The hands
must never be closer than 3 inches to the cutter
head.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
