1.2 Planer specific safety rules

29. Do not force work through the machine; allow
the planer to apply the proper feed rate.
30. Never stand directly in line with either infeed or
outfeed. Always stand to one side, in case
kickback occurs.
31. Make sure workpiece is free of nails, screws,
stones and other foreign objects which could
damage the knives and/or present a safety
hazard. Do not plane boards with loose knots,
or that have severe warpage.
32. Make sure knives are securely installed in
cutterhead. Loose knives can be propelled from
the tool at high speed causing serious injury.
33. Do not start the machine while cutterhead is
contacting the workpiece.
34. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before
feeding the workpiece.
35. Never reach into the machine when the
cutterhead is rotating.
36. Use caution when feeding boards. When a
board is engaged by the feed roller, it will be
forced down onto the infeed table, causing a
pinching hazard. Keep hands clear.
37. Do not attempt to plane excessively warped
boards.
38. Support very long workpieces with an assistant
or support stand.
39. Do not attempt to feed boards from the outfeed
side.
40. Do not plane boards shorter than 9-1/2 inches
in length.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or possible
machine damage.
This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious, or possibly even fatal,
injury.
41. Do not exceed 1/8-inch depth of cut per pass.
42. Keep knives sharp for best results and safer
operation. Rotate for a fresh edge or replace as
needed.
43. Plane in the direction of the board's grain.
Planing against the grain can result in tear-out
and splintering of the wood, and increase risk of
kickback. Do not plane end grain.
44. Check feed rollers before use for chips and
sawdust lodged
components. If the rollers are not seated
securely, they will not hold stock firmly against
the bed, and the chance of kickback increases.
