Jointer
1. Be sure to have the instructor’s approval before operating the machine.
2. Before turning on the machine, make adjustments for depth of cut and position of fence.
3. Do not adjust out feed tables or remove guard without the instructor’s approval.
4. The maximum cut for jointing an edge is 1/8” inch; for flat surface 1/16” inch.
5. Stock must be at least 12” inches long. Stock to be surfaced must be at least 3/8” inch thick, unless a special feather board is used.
6. Feed the work so the knives will cut “with the grain”. Use only new stock that is free of knots, splits, and checks.
7. Keep your hands away from the cutter head even though the guard is in position. Maintain at least a 4” inch margin of safety!
8. Use a push block when planing a flat surface. Do not plane the end grain unless the board is a least 12” inches wide.
9. The jointer knives must be sharp. Dull knives will vibrate the stock and may cause a kickback
