II. General safety guidelines (continued)
20.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
21.
DIRECTION OF FEED.
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
22.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don't leave tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
Additional safety guidelines for jointers
1.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE
until it is completely assembled and installed according to
the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
2.
OBTAIN ADVICE
from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are
not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
3.
FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES
and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
4.
KEEP KNIVES SHARP
and free from rust and pitch. Dull or rusted knives work harder and can
cause kickback.
5.
TIGHTEN THE INFEED/OUTFEED TABLES
before starting the machine. Loss of control of
the workpiece can cause serious injury.
6.
PROPERLY SECURE THE BLADES IN THE CUTTERHEAD
before turning the power “ON”.
Loose blades may be thrown out at high speeds.
7.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON”
before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.). Flying debris can cause serious injury.
8.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON”
with the workpiece contacting the cutterhead. Kickback
can occur.
9.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS.
A sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the cutterhead.
