  • Page 6: Safety Warnings

    1.5 SAFETY WARNINGS Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
  • Page 7 12. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area. 13. Don't force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed. 14.

  • Page 8: Safe Working Practice

    10. Always feed workpiece against the cutter rotation. 11. Make sure spindle draw bar and draw bar nuts are securely tightened before operating. 12. Turn the main switch to “O”, indicate so with a sign and padlock the main switch before making all adjustments or servicing.
  • Page 9 3) for workpiece guiding the use of: i) a fence. ii) a false fence wherever possible to minim is the gap between the cutter(s) and the fence plates. iii) a push block or push stick to aid hand feeding or wherever possible a de-mountable power feed unit. iv) roller or extension table to support long workpiece.

Machine setting and adjustment a) The machine shall be isolated from the power source before any adjustments are made. b) For clamping and setting of tools refer tool manufacturers recommendations.
  • Page 13 The false fence greatly reduces the exposure of dangerous parts Fig. 1.1.7 Fig. 1.1.8 c) A power feed device shall be used wherever possible to minimize the gap between the cutters and the main fence. d) When hand feeding against the fence a push stick to aid feeding shall be used in conjunction with the guard. e) Roller trestles or extension table shall be used to support long workpieces.
  • Page 14 7. Direction of rotation It is most important that the tooling is fitted to the machine to operate in the correct direction of rotation. The operator shall ensure that the workpiece is fed to the tools against the direction of spindle rotation. 7a.
  • Page 15 On a vertical spindle molding machine the gap between the two halves of the straight fence has to be wide enough to give clearance for the cutters. This allows unnecessary exposure of the cutters, the cutter block and the spindle, and in addition the leading end of the workpiece may foul the edge of the take-off half of the fence.
  • Page 16 11. Curved work A jig shall be used for all curved work unless the nature of the operation makes it impracticable; that is where the workpiece is so large that the addition of a jig would make the job unmanageable, or where the workpiece is so small, or so complicated that it cannot be held securely in a jig.
