SMALL OR THIN WORKPIECES CAN KICKBACK
WHEN THEY TIP OVER ON THE TABLES OR INTO
THE CUTTER HEAD. To reduce the risk of cutter head
contact or workpiece kickback: Never joint, plane or bevel
workpieces shorter than 12 in.
WHEN JOINTING never joint workpieces less than
3/4 in. wide or 1/4 in. thick.
ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS/PUSH STICK when
jointing or beveling wood narrower than 3 in.
WHEN RABBETING always make cuts in 1/8 in. incre-
ments or less.
NEVER PLANE WOOD NARROWER OR THINNER
THAN 3/4 IN.
ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS/PUSH STICK when
planing.
NEVER perform any operation "freehand" which means
using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece.
Always use either the rip fence or miter fence to position
and guide the work.
MAKE SURE THERE'S NO DEBRIS between the
workpiece and either the fence or table top.
ALWAYS USE A STABLE WORK SUPPORT WHEN
JOINTING OR PLANING LONG WORKPIECES. Never
use another person as additional support or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece in any operation.
NEVER CUT more than one workpiece at a time.
NEVER TURN YOUR JOINTER/PLANER "ON" before
clearing everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the cutter head. Never pass either hand over
the cutter head during any operation.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
