H.
Hand safety: Keep hands outside the machine. Never reach under the guards to try to clear stock that stops feeding. Do not clear chips
and sawdust with hands; use a brush.
I.
Machine adjustments: Make all machine adjustments with power off.
J.
Machine capacity: Do not make any cuts requiring more power than is available on the machine.
K.
Material condition: Do not plane boards with loose knots or with nails or any foreign material on its surface. Knife impact on these
objects can cause the knives to be pulled out and cause them to shatter against the chipbreaker or pressure bar. Twisted, warped, or in
wind stock should first be jointed on one surface before attempting to plane a parallel surface on planer. Serious stock flaws cannot be
removed by use of a planer alone.
L.
Stacked boards: Do not feed stacked boards through a planer a, a kickback can occur causing severe or fatal injury.
M.
Short stock: Do not attempt to plane boards shorter than 8" (203mm) in length with in length without butting a board of equal thickness
behind it to help it through the planer. Be sure the last board of a butted sequence is 8" (203mm) long or longer.
N.
Stock stops feeding: if the board being planned stops feeding, disengage or turn the feed off and turn the power off. Wait until the
cutterheadcomes to a complete stop before lowering the table to remove the board. Never lower the table with the power on and the
stock still in the machine. A kickback can occur which could cause a severe or fatal injury.
O.
Avoid accidental starting: Make certain the motor switch is in the off position before connecting power the planer.
P.
Careless acts: Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and "horseplay" are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
Q.
Job completion: If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the planer should be turned "off" and the cutterhead should
come to a complete stop before his departure. In addition; if the operation is complete, he should clean the planer and the work area.
Never clean the planer with power "on" and never use the hands to clear sawdust and debris; use brush.
R.
Disconnect machine: Before performing any service of maintenance and when changing knife.
