Safety Notes
Personal:
Don't chop off your fingers! |
- Eye protection required
- Hearing protection recommended
- No loose clothing or jewelry, roll up sleeves above the elbows.
- Tie up or cover long hair
- Closed-toe shoes with good traction.
Tool:
- Make sure the guards are in place and working well.
- Switch on the Dust Collector: Coral AF/2C free-standing 2-filter between the 1696 Jointer and the 201 Planer ("The Beast".)
- Keep hands at least 3 inches away from the blades at all times.
Shift hands during cut. MAINTAIN PRESSURE ON THE WORKPIECE. |
- Don't cut wood less than 8" long, 3/4" wide or 1/4" thick.
- For wood less than 12" long, 3" wide and 3" thick, a hold-down or push block is required
- Never apply pressure to stock directly above the cutter head. This can lead to the stock tipping into the cutter.
- Wood grain must run in the direction of the cutting.
- Never make cuts greater then 1/8" deep
- Do NOT wear gloves
Setting the Outfeed Table Height
1. Raise the outfeed to its highest point and place a straight edge across the cutter.
2. Turn the cutter head until one row of knives is at its highest point.
If the outfeed table is too high, the finished surface of the workpiece will be curved. |
The correct height for the outfeed is exactly level with the knives at the highest point of their rotation. |
If the outfeed table is too low, the end of the cut gets gouged at the end of the cut. |
3. Lower the outfeed table until the straight edge contacts a knife blade. Rock the head slightly to make sure the apex of the knife is contacting the straight edge.
4. Lock the outfeed table at this setting.
