PXl16 Sheartec:II Planer \ Safety
LIKE ALL MACHINES, THERE IS DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH THE MACHINE. INJURY IS FREQUENTLY CAUSED BY LACK
OF KNOWLEDGE OR FAMILIARITY. USE THIS MACHINE WITH RESPECT. IF NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE
OVERLOOKED OR IGNORED, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
1. KICKBACK
"KICKBACK" IS WHEN THE WORK PIECE IS THROWN OFF THE PLANER TABLE BY THE CUTTER HEAD. THE "KICKBACK
ZONE", IS THE PATH DIRECTLY BACK THROUGH THE IN FEED TABLE. NEVER STAND OR ALLOW OTHERS TO STAND IN
THIS AREA DURING OPERATION. IF KICK BACK OCCURS, SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT.
2. CUTTER HEAD ALIGNMENT
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF KICKBACK, KEEP THE TOP EDGE OF THE OUT FEED TABLE ALIGNED WITH THE
CUTTER HEAD INSERT AT TOP DEAD CENTER (TDC).
3. SUPPORTING THE WORK
ONLY MAKE CUTS IF THE WORK PIECE IS STABLE AND NEVER ATTEMPT TO CUT UNSTABLE PLANKS, OR INJURY MAY
OCCUR.
4. CUTTING DEPTH
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH AS STATED IN THE SPECIFICATION FOR YOUR MACHINE. IT IS FAR
BETTER TO TAKE SEVERAL SMALL CUTS RATHER THAN LARGE CUTS.
5. DIRECTION OF CUT
PLANING AGAINST THE GRAIN OR PLANING END GRAIN IS DANGEROUS AND COULD PRODUCE CHATTER OR
EXCESSIVE CHIP OUT. ALWAYS PLANE WITH THE GRAIN.
6. GUARDS
GUARDS ARE DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY. ALWAYS USE THE GUARDS. IF IT IS IMPERATIVE TO USE
THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE GUARDS, [RABBETING] ALWAYS REPLACE THE GUARDS.
7. CUTTING DIRECTION
ONLY CUT FROM THE IN FEED TABLE TO THE OUT FEED TABLE, AND ALWAYS COMPLETE THE CUT. DO NOT STOP THE
WOOD PROGRESS UNTIL THE JOB HAS CLEARED THE CUTTER HEAD COMPLETELY. ONLY CUT WITH THE GRAIN OR AT
A SLIGHT ANGLE TO THE GRAIN.
8. STOCK
YOUR SAFETY WILL BE GREATLY ENHANCED IF YOU ONLY USE GOOD LUMBER. ONLY WORK WITH LUMBER AFTER YOU
HAVE INSPECTED IT COMPLETELY. STAPLES, NAILS LOOSE KNOTS AND ANY OTHER METAL IN THE PLANK WILL
DAMAGE YOUR CUTTER HEAD AND COULD CAUSE INJURY AND OR FIRE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION ABOUT A PIECE
OF LUMBER, DO NOT USE IT.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
