,_WARNING: NEVER PLACE THE HEEL OF YOUR HAND AT
THE END OF THE WORK PIECE WHEN FINISHING A CUT.
THIS COULD RESULT tN YOUR HAND COMING IN CONTACT
WITH THE CUTTER CAUSING SERIOUS tNJURY.
At the end of the cut, position your hand on TOP NEAR THE END
of the work piece and continue feeding the work piece until the
cutter guard has returned to its closed position
RIGHT
USING HOLD DOWNIPUSH BLOCKS
ALWAYS use the hold down/push blocks when JO_NTING wood
that is NARROWER than 3 in or PLANING wood that is THINNER
than 3 in
Grasp the hold downlpush btocks firmly with the fingers close to..
gether and wrapped around the handle Position them fiat on top of
workpiece, and push the workpiece down against the table to pro-
vide 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 work piece over cutter head
Use a handoover,.hand motion of the hold downlpush blocks being
careful to maintain control of the workpiece at all times
HAND'OVER HAND
This means that once the work piece has passed the cutter head
onto outfeed table, one hold downlpush block must always main °
tain contact with the work piece with outfeed table
When planing wood 3t4 in. thick and NARROWER than the hold
downlpush btock, tilt the hold downlpush block so that it clears
the top of the cutter guard while feeding.
Never plane wood that is thinner than 1/2 in .because it is apt to
split or shatter and thus has a greater tendency to kickback
,_CAUTION: IF THE HOLD DOWNfPUSH BLOCKS TEND TO
SLIP WHILE FEEDING, CLEAN RUBBER SURFACE IMMEDI-
ATELY WITH SANDPAPER.

to 45 ° outboard Adjust the fence to desired angle and tighten
lock knobs
BEVELING is the cutting of an angle on the entire edge of a

cut needed to bevel entire edge of board.
