SAFETY
Additional Safety for Planer/Moulders
READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under-
stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
REACHING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER. Never
reach inside planer/moulder or remove covers
when the planer/moulder is connected to
power.
INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed roller is
designed to pull material into the cutterhead.
Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair
away from the infeed roller during operation
to prevent serious injury.
PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural
wood stock with this planer/moulder. DO
NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other
synthetic products.
WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify workpiece
has enough room to exit the planer before
starting.
REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To avoid
serious injury, always stop the planer/moulder
and disconnect power before removing
jammed workpieces.
DULL/DAMAGED CUTTERS. The planer/moulder
may kick out a workpiece at the operator or
give poor finish results if it is operated with
dull or damaged knives.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Cutting across or against the
grain is hard on the planer/moulder and may
increase the risk of workpiece kick out. Always
cut with the grain or at a slight angle with the
grain.
BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The
workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer/moulder during the entire operation.
KNIFE CLEARANCE. Before starting the machine,
always verify that the moulding knives do not
contact any part of the workpiece guide rails,
feed roller swing arm, or the table surface.
Failure to verify knife clearance may result
in severe injury and machine damage!
LOOKING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER. Wood chips
fly around inside the planer/moulder at a
high rate of speed. DO NOT look inside the
machine or remove any guards or covers during
operation.
UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS. When
connected to power, the planer/moulder can
be accidentally turned ON. Always disconnect
power when servicing or adjusting machine
components.
