7. Dull / Damaged Knives. Use only sharp, undamaged knives to avoid unnecessary kickback
of the piece part. Dull and damaged knives will also affect cut quality.
8. Maximum Cutting Depth. The maximum cutting
depth for one pass is 1/8” (3.2mm). Never
set the machine to cut deeper than this in one pass.
9. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
10. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.
11. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
12. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles
13. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or
across a running machine.
14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or
machine when you are tired.
15. Grain Direction. There is an increased chance of kickback when jointing or planing end
grain or against the grain. This could also produce chatter and excessive chip out of the
material.
16. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
17. DO NOT bypass or defeat any safety interlock systems.
18. Know the location of the ON - OFF switch and the
“E” - STOP button.
19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
20. Push Blocks. Always use push blocks when surface planing. DO NOT pass your hands
directly over the cutterhead without using a push block.
21. Cutterhead Alignment. Keep the top edge of the out-feed table aligned with the cutterhead
knife at top dead center (TDC). This will help to avoid kickback and possible operator
injuries.
22. Keep Guards in Place. All operations are to be performed with the cutterhead guard in
place.
23. Support the piece part. Supporting the piece part adequately while cutting, is crucial to
making safe cuts and avoiding possible operator injury.
24. Proper cutting. While cutting, always keep the piece part moving towards the out-feed table
until it has completely passed over the cutterhead. NEVER back the piece part toward the in-
feed table.
