14 | Page Oliver Machinery 4265 Jointer
When Jointing:
1. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM is required for this jointer. Please make sure the system is on and provide
enough suction before operation begins.
2. KICKBACK happens when a workpiece is ejected at high speed during operation. Kickback projectiles
can cause serious injuries or even death. Sudden movement of workpiece from kickback can also
cause hands or other body parts getting pulled into the cutterhead. Operator should be cautious at
all times about possible kickback.
3. PROPER STOCK FEEDING reduces chance of kickback. NEVER start the machine with anything
engaging the cutterhead. NEVER start feeding until the jointer has reached its full speed. Use the right
amount of downward pressure and forward force for feeding.
4. INSPECT WORKPIECE. Ensure workpiece is free from nails, loose knots and another foreign material.
Use metal detector to scan for metal objects as appropriate.
5. NEVER join material shorter than 12”, thinner than 1/2”, or narrower than 2”.
6. NEVER rabbet material with width or thickness less than 3/4”, or shorter than 12”.
7. FOLLOW THE 3-INCH RULE. Always use push blocks when jointing materials less than 3” in thickness
or width. Keep your hands at least three inches away from cutterhead at all times when machine is
running.
8. CUPPED WORKPIECE should be jointed with the cupped side facing down. This prevents the
workpiece from rocking.
9. PAY ATTENTION TO GRAIN DIRECTION. Always cut WITH grain whenever possible. Jointing against
or across grain, or jointing end grain increase chance of tear out and kickback.
After Operation
1. STOP THE MACHINE if the operator leaves the machine for any reason.
2. WAIT until the machine comes to a complete stop.
3. CLEAN UP and LOCK POWER SWITCH before departure.
