To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Installs the cutter onto the spindle and adjusts
the spindle height for the operation.
3. Correctly adjusts the safety guard and fence
boards for the operation and locks them in
place.
4. Checks the outfeed side of the machine
for proper support and to make sure the
workpiece can safely move past the cutter
without interference from other objects.
5. Places the workpiece on the infeed side
of the machine and stabilizes it with hold-
downs, jigs, or other safety workpiece holding
devices.
6.
Wears safety glasses and a respirator, and
locates push sticks if needed.
7.
Starts the machine.
8.
Verifies cutter rotation and feed directions.
9.
Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against
both the table and fence, and then pushes
the workpiece past the cutter at a steady and
controlled rate until the workpiece moves
completely beyond the cutter.
The operator is very careful to keep the
workpiece firmly against the table and fence
during the entire cut, while also keeping his
hands well away from the spinning cutter.
10. Stops the machine.
