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 guards are in place and working well.
- Switch on Dust Collector: Coral free-standing 2-filter between 1696 Jointer and 201 Planer
- Keep hands at least 3 inches away from the blades at all times.
- Don't cut wood less than 8" long, 3/4" wide or 1/4" thick.
Shift hands during cut. MAINTAIN PRESSURE ON THE WORKPIECE. |
- 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
If the outfeed table is too high, the cut depth will taper along the length of the workpiece. |
The correct height for the outfeed is exactly level with the cutting blades. |
If the outfeed table is too low, the end of the cut gets gouged too deeply. |
