cutterheads. Always use push blocks and safety
glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from
“kickback.” If you do not understand what
kickback is, or how it occurs, Do Not operate
this machine.

CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION in people and
animals, especially when exposed to fine dust.
Make sure you know what type of wood dust
you will be exposed to and always wear an ap-
proved respirator.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
UNPACKING
The jointer is shipped from the manufacturer
in two carefully packed cartons. If you discover
the machine is damaged after you've signed
for delivery, immediately call Customer Service
for advice. When you are completely satis-
fied with the condition of your shipment, you
should inventory its parts.
WARNING: If moving this machine up or
down stairs, the machine must be dismantled
and moved in smaller pieces. Make sure floor
and stair structures are capable of supporting
the combined weight of the machine parts and
the people moving them.
WARNING: The jointer is a heavy machine.
DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking
or moving your machine, you will need assis-
tance. Serious personal injury may occur if safe
moving methods are not followed.
CLEAN UP
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with
a solvent cleaner or citrus-based de greaser.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may
damage painted surfaces should they come in
contact. Always follow the usage instructions
on the product you choose for clean up.
WARNING: Do not use gasoline or other
petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash
points, which make them extremely flam-
mable. A risk of explosion and burning exists
if these products are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this warning is ignored.

CAUTION: Many of the solvents commonly
used to clean machinery can be toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-venti-
lated areas far from potential ignition sources
when dealing with solvents. Use care when
disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure
they do not create fire or environmental haz-
ards. Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this machine.
WARNING: Do not smoke while using sol-
vents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may
be the result serious personal injury may occur.
SITE CONSIDERATIONS
FLOOR LOAD
This jointer represents a moderate weight load
in a small footprint. Most commercial or home
shop floors should be sufficient to carry the
weight. If you question the strength of your
floor, you may wish to check with an ar-
chitect or structural engineer in your area to
make certain it can handle the load.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the
distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the
relative position of each machine to one an-
other for efficient material handling. Be sure
to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run
your machines in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir-
cuits should be dedicated or large enough to
handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets
should be located near each machine so power
or extension cords are not obstructing high-
traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical
codes for proper installation of new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.
WARNING: All die-cut metal parts have a
sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after
they are formed. This is removed at the factory.
Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might es-
