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.
