19. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
20. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
21. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against moving parts. Do not
overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation. Stand to the side out of line with
the table and make sure no one else is standing in line with the table.
22. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.
23. Maintain tools with care. Keep knife inserts sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating machine and changing accessories. Use recommended
accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
24. Do not attempt to plane boards shorter than 10” 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 12” or longer.
25. Do not feed stacked boards through a planer; a kickback may occur causing severe or fatal injury.
26. Do not plane boards with loose knots or with nails or any foreign material on its surface. Twisted,
warped, or wind-in stock should first be jointed on one surface before attempting to plane a parallel
surface on the planer. Serious stock flaws cannot be removed by use of a planer alone.
27. Disconnect machine from power source before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove
chips or debris — do not use your hands.
28. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
29. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
30. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
