Safety Notes

  • 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.
  • Do not push the workpiece into the machine.
  • Do not take a depth of cut greater than 1/16 inch. This is one full turn on the adjustment wheel.
  • If the machine is damaged, place a RED tag on it explaining the problem. Do not attempt to fix it yourself.

Maintenance Request Tag.
  • 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.
