• Use recommended accessories (refer to page 13).
Use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-
sible injury.
° Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.)
• Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in
place and in proper operating condition.
• Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of
rotation.
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at all times
when tool is being used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to the instructions.
Refer to Figure 1 below.

ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
The jointer/planer is shipped complete in one carton.
