Safety instructions for Basic Jointer/Planer Operation (continued)
- When jointing o r beveling:
- Never joint or bevel workpieces less than 3/4 inch
wide or 1/4 inch thick.
- Always use the hold-down/push-blocks when j0inting
or beveling wood narrower than 3 inches.
-When rabbeting, always make cuts in !/8" incre-
and its supports.
- Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces.
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) if
your workpiece is hard to hold down to the table. Never
use another person as additional support or to help
ments or less.
• When planing:
- Never plane wood thinner than 1/2 inch,
-Always use hold-down/push-blocks when
wood thinner than 3 inches.

feed, support or pull the workpiece,
• Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
- Never turn your table jointedplaner "ON" before clear-
ing everything except the workpiece and related sup-
port devices off the table.
-Never cut Freehand, Guide your workpiece solidly
against the fence and table top.
- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

Whenever Jointer/Planer Is Running:
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your jointer/planer) cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction
of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Keep Children Away,
• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the jointer!planer.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the jointer/planer
and workpiece,
• Before actually cutting with the jointer/ptaner, let it run
for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates,
stop immediately. Turn the jointer/ptaner off. Unplug
the jointeripianer, Do not restart until finding and cor-
recting the problem.
Don't Force Tool,
• Feed the workpiece into the jointer/planer only fast
enough to let the tool cut without bogging down or
Avoid Accidental Starting.
• Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging jointer/_
planer into a power outlet.
binding.
Before freeing jammed material,
• Turn switch "OFF'.
° Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the jointer/planer.
• Check blade, spreader and fence for proper alignment
before starting again_
Before Leaving the jointer/planer.
• Turn the jointer/planer off,
• Wait for }ointer/planer to come to a complete stop.
• Unplug the jointer/ptaner.
• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store
it away from children and others not qualified to use
the tool.
Basic Jointer/Pianer Cutting Operations
Depth of Cut Handwheel Operation
Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will _ower the
infeed table. This will cause more wood to be removed
from the workpiece during the cutting operation.
"Fuming the handwheel counterclockwise will raise the
infeed table causing less wood to be removed from the
workpiece.
The maximum amount of wood that can be removed dur-
ing one cut is 1/8".
Stop Pin Operation
A stop pin is supplied to prevent against planing or joint-
ing more than 1/8" depth of cut. Planing and jointing
operations greater than 1/8" per pass are not recom-
mended. Only rabbeting operations should be performed
at cutting depths greater than 1/8". Never cut a fult 1/2"
rabbet in one cut. Cut in 1/8" depth increments until your
ful! depth is acquired.
