* Wear safety goggles.  '''Eyeglasses are NOT safety goggles.'''
* '''This machine is LOUD.''' Wear hearing protection.
*  No loose clothing, neckties, rings, or other jewelry.  Roll up sleeves.  Wear shoes with good traction.  Do not wear gloves.
* Switch on the dust collector before feeding stock into the machine.  It is a Coral AF/2C two-filter collector shared with the Powermatic 1696 Jointer.
* Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use.
* If the machine is damaged, place a RED tag on it explaining the problem.  Do not attempt to fix it yourself.

* Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
* Do not feed stacked boards.  They can kick back.
* Do not plane a board with loose knots or with nails or any foreign material on its surface. Twisted, warped, or wind-in stock should first be jointed on one surface before attempting to plane a parallel surface on the planer. Serious stock flaws cannot be removed by use of a planer alone.
* Keep hands outside of the machine. Never reach under the guards to try to clear stock that has stopped feeding.
* When starting a cut, do not have any part of the hands under that part of the board that is over the table; the infeed roller will engage the board and force it down against the table causing a pinching action.
* Never leave the machine running unattended.
