Additional.Safety.for.Power.Feeders
ATTACHED.MACHINERY.
Follow all warnings and
safety information for the attached machine
doing the cutting work.
HAND.SAFETY
. Keep hands away from rotating
parts on power feeder and spinning blade
or cutter of associated machine. Turn power
feeder and associated machine
OFF
and only
use a brush or compressed air to remove
sawdust.
INSTALLING.GUARDS.
Install guards, fences, and
hold-downs before starting attached machine
or power feeder. Repair or replace guards
promptly if they become damaged.
KICKBACK.
Occurs when workpiece is ejected
from machine with great force, striking
operator or bystanders. Commonly caused by
improper machine or power feeder setup.
VERIFY.EACH.SETUP.
Ensure that power feeder
is set up correctly and firmly secured before
feeding workpiece. An improperly adjusted
power feeder could increase the risk of
kickback, because it will continue feeding
when stock is not properly positioned for the
cut.
FEATHERBOARD
. When cutting long or large
stock that is difficult to feed properly, use
a featherboard before powerfeeder (on the
infeed side) to maintain even pressure and
control of workpiece against fence, and help
reduce risk of kickback.
FEED.WORKPIECE.PROPERLY..
Verify blade or
cutter of associated machine is at full speed
before feeding stock with power feeder.
Do not feed workpiece too quickly. Verify
power feeder wheels are slightly lower than
workpiece. Stop power feeder before stopping
cutting tool.
WORKPIECE.SUPPORT.
Support workpiece
continuously during operation as required. Use
auxiliary stands or support tables for long or
wide stock.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE
. Make sure power
feeder is turned
OFF
, disconnected from
power, and all moving parts are completely
stopped before doing adjustments or
maintenance.
