CUTTING.LIMITATIONS.
To reduce risk of kick-
back hazards or damage to machine, do not
exceed maximum depth of cut or minimum
board length and thickness found in Data
Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.
INFEED.ROLLER.CLEARANCE.
The infeed roller
is designed to pull material into the spinning
cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entangle-
ment, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long
hair away from the infeed roller during opera-
tion.
FEED.WORKPIECE.PROPERLY.
To reduce the risk
of kickback, never start machine with work-
piece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead
to reach full speed before feeding, and do not
change feed speed during cutting operation.
WORKPIECE.SUPPORT.
To reduce risk of kick-
back, always make sure workpiece can move
completely across table without rocking or
tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long
stock. Verify workpiece has enough room to
exit machine before starting.
SECURE.KNIVES.
Loose knives can become dan-
gerous projectiles or cause machine damage.
Always verify knives are secure and properly
adjusted before operation.
INSPECTING.STOCK.
To reduce the risk of kick-
back injuries or machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare the workpiece before cut-
ting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples,
loose knots or foreign material. Workpieces
with minor warping should be jointed first or
planed with the cupped side facing the infeed
table.
BODY.PLACEMENT.
Stand to one side of
machine during the entire operation to avoid
getting hit if kickback occurs.
KICKBACK
. Know how to reduce the risk of kick-
back and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback”
occurs during the operation when the work-
piece is ejected from the machine at a high
rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused
by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feed-
ing techniques, or improper machine setup/
maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur
as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck
by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries
(i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death);
(2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.
AVOID.MOVING.PARTS.
Never remove guards/
covers or reach inside the machine during
operation or while connected to power. You
could be seriously injured if you accidentally
touch the spinning cutterhead or get entan-
gled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes
stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn
machine OFF and disconnect power before
clearing.
DULL/DAMAGED.KNIVES.
Only use sharp,
undamaged knives. Dull or damaged knivesin-
crease the risk of kickback.
GRAIN.DIRECTION.
Planing across the grain is
hard on the machine and may cause kickback.
Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle
with the wood grain.
PLANING.CORRECT.MATERIAL.
Only plane natu-
ral wood stock. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, ply-
wood, laminates or other synthetic materials
that can break up inside the machine and be
ejected towards the operator.
LOOKING.INSIDE.MACHINE.
Wood chips fly
around inside machine at a high rate of speed
during operation. To reduce risk of injury from
flying material, DO NOT look inside machine
during operation.
