WARNING: NEVER PLACE THE HEEL OF YOUR HAND AT
A
THE END
OF
THE WORKPIECE WHEN FINISHING A CUT.
THIS COULD
RESULT
IN
YOUR
HAND COMING IN
CON-
TACT WITH THE CUI-FER, CAUSING SERIOUS
INJURY
At the end of the cut, position your hand on TOP NEAR THE
END
of
the workpiece and continue feeding with workpiece until the cutter
guard has
returned
to Its closed
position

WRONG
RIGHT
UsIng Hold Down/Push Blocks
ALWAYS use
the hold down/push blocks when JOINTING wood that
is NARROWER than 3" or PLANING wood that is THINNER than 3"
Grasp the hold down/push blocks firmly with the fingers close togeth-
er
and wrapped around the handle. Position them flat on top of work-
piece, and push the workpiece down against the table to provide
a
quality cut and minimize the chance of a kickback
Hold down
pressure must
be sufficient to
prevent
hold
down/push
block from sliding or slipping on
the surface of the workpiece when
advancing workpiece over cutter
head
Use a hand-over-hand motion of the hold down/push blocks being
careful to maintain control of the workpiece at all
times
This
means
that once the workpiece
has passed
the cutter
head
onto
outfeed table, one hold down/push block must always maintain con-
tact with the workpiece with the outfeed table
When planing wood 3/4" thick and
NARROWER
than the hold down/
push block, tilt the hold down/push block so that it clears the top of the
cutter guard while feeding
Never
plane
wood that
is
thinner than 1/2"
because
it
is
apt to split or
shatter and thus
has a
greater tendency to kickback
CAUTION: IF THE HOLD DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS TEND
TO
SLIP WHILE
FEEDING,
CLEAN RUBBER SURFACE

DTATELY WITH SANDPAPER
