manual abstract
A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury. 2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety. 3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution. 4. KEEP KNIVES SHARP and free from rust and pitch. Dull or rusted knives work harder and can cause kickback. 5. TIGHTEN THE INFEED/OUTFEED TABLES before starting the machine. Loss of control of the work- piece can cause serious injury. 6. PROPERLY SECURE THE BLADES IN THE CUTTERHEAD before turning the power “ON”. Loose blades may be thrown out at high speeds. 7. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying debris can cause serious injury. 8. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the workpiece contacting the cutterhead. Kickback can occur. 9. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the cutterhead. 10. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the cutterhead to prevent severe injury. 11. NEVER MAKE CUTS deeper than 1/8" (3.2mm) to prevent kickback. 12. NEVER JOINT OR PLANE A WORKPIECE that is shorter than 10" (254mm), narrower than 3/4" (19.0MM), or less than 1/2" (12.7mm) thick. Jointing smaller workpieces can allow your hand to contact the cutterhead causing severe injury. 13. USE HOLD-DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS for jointing or planing any workpiece lower than the fence. Jointing or planing small workpieces can result in kickback and severe injury. 14. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the table and fence. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause kickback and result in serious injury. 15. NEVER PERFORM “FREE-HAND” OPERATIONS. Use the fence to position and guide the workpiece. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause serious injury. 16. DO NOT attempt to perform an abnormal or little- used operation without study and the use of adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, etc. 17. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE from the outfeed end of the machine.The workpiece will be thrown out of the opposite end at high speeds. 18. DO NOT ATTEMPT to back out a workpiece while the cutters are still rotating. 18. DO NOT FEED A WORKPIECE that is warped, contains knots, or is embedded with foreign objects (nails, staples, etc.) to prevent kickback. 19. MAINTAIN THE PROPER RELATIONSHIP OF INFEED AND OUTFEED TABLE SURFACES and cutterhead knife path. Loss of control of the work- piece can cause serious injury. 20. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury. 21. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SETUP WORK on the table/work area when the machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the cutterhead. Severe injury can result. 22. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine from the power source, and clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to themselves. 23. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e. a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (Information is also available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. 4 POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine. DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS. MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS Your machine is wired for (see SPEC PLATE VOLTAGE), 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. 1. All grounded, cord-connected machines: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment- ground...
