The purpose of surface planing (see example
Figures below)
on the jointer is to make one flat
face on a piece of stock to prepare it for thickness
planing on a planer
.
Failure to use push blocks when surface
planing could result in your hands contacting
rotating cutterhead, which will cause serious
personal injury. Always use push blocks when
surface planing on jointer!
To surface plane on jointer:
1.
Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable
for the operation (see Stock Inspection &
Requirements on Page 23).
2.
Set infeed table height to desired cutting
depth for each pass.
CAUTION:
To minimize risk of kickback,
do not exceed a cutting depth of
1
⁄
16
" per pass
when surface planing.
3.
Set fence to 90°.
4.
Start jointer.
5.
Place workpiece firmly against fence and
infeed table.
CAUTION:
To ensure workpiece remains
stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece
must face toward table and fence.
6.
Feed workpiece completely across cutterhead
while keeping it firmly against fence and
tables during the entire cut.
CAUTION:
Keep hands at least 4"
away from cutterhead during the entire
cut. Instead of allowing a hand to pass
directly over cutterhead, lift it up and
over cutterhead, and safely reposition it
on the outfeed side to continue supporting
workpiece. Use push blocks whenever
practical to further reduce risk of accidental
hand contact with cutterhead.
7.
Repeat
Step 6 until entire surface is flat.
Tip:
When squaring up stock, cut opposite
side of workpiece with a planer instead of the
jointer to ensure both sides are parallel.
