ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR JOINTERS
I AVOID KICKBACKS A kickback occurs when the
workpiece is thrown back by the cuttorhoad toward the
infeed table. Never pass hands directly over the cutterhead.
When a kickback occurs an injury can result. Some ol the
causes of kickback include:
A Dull and improperly adjusted knives.
B. Knots, nails or imperfections in the workpiece.
C. Taking too deep a cut in one pass.
D. Failure to use adequate hold-downs/push blocks
when jointing or surfacing short, thin or narrow
work.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the opera¬
tion of jointers, obtain advice from your supervisor, instruc¬
tor or other qualified person.
3. MAKE SURE wiring codes and recommended elec-
tncal correction instructions arc followed, and that the
machine is properly grounded.
4. MAKE all adjustments with the power off.
5 MAINTAIN theproper relationship of infeed and outfeed
table surfaces and cutterhead knife path.
6. MAKE SURE the cutterhead is not contacting the
workpiece before turning on the power.
7. KEEP knives sharp and cutterhead and knives free of
all rust and pitch
8. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the blade
when the machine is running.
9. ALWAYS keep cutterhead guard in place when per¬
forming a jointing or planing operation. Check guard opera
tion periodically to make certain that it operates freely.
10 DEFINITIONS OF JOINTING AND PLANING
OPERATIONS:
A Jointing Operations - Jointing cuts or edge jointing
are made to square an edge of a workpieco. The
workpiece is positioned on the jointer with the narrow
edge of the workpiece on tl ic infeed table and the major
flat surface of the workpiece against the fence. The
workpiece is moved from the infeed table across the
cutterhead to the outfeed table.
B. Planing Operations - Planing or surfacing is similar to
the jointing operation except for the position of the
workpiece. For planing, the major flat surface of the
workpieco is placed on the table of the jointer with the
narrow edge of the workpiece against the fence

material less than 3 inches in height or planing material
less than 3 inches thick.
