Incorrectly feeding stock
—
feeding WITH
rotation of cutter
—
creates potentially
uncontrollable feed situation that may pull
stock from hands and draw hands into cutter.
Always check direction of cutter rotation
before any shaping operation. Always feed
stock opposite to cutter rotation.
Most cutters are designed to rotate
counterclockwise and mill the stock from
underneath, keeping the cutter away from the
operator and preventing tearout.
Some cutters are designed to shape the top of
the workpiece. However, this method creates
a hazard to the operator. Using the FOR/REV
switch, you can mount the cutter upside down,
reverse the feed direction and cutter rotation,
and mill the workpiece safely from the bottom.
