Whenever Thickness Planer Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your thickness planer) to cause a
careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second
is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting to plane a board, watch the thickness
planer while it runs. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or
vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the thickness planer
off. Unplug the thickness planer. Do not restart until find-
ing and correcting the problem.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
finish:
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into
the knives.
• Don't Overreach. Keep good footing and balance.
• Do not force the cut. Slowing or stalling the motor will
overheat it. Allow the automatic feed to function prop-
erly.
Before Leaving The Thickness Planer
Never Leave Tool Running Unattended. Turn power
off. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Remove
Glossary of Terms for Woodworking
Bed
The combination of infeed and outfeed table surfaces
which support the workpiece during a cutting operation.
Cutter Head
The cutter head is a rotating piece with two adjustable
knives. The cutter head removes material from the work-
piece.
Depth of cut
A term used to indicate how deep into the workpiece the
cutter knives will cut.
Gum
A sticky, sap based residue from wood products.
Infeed Table
The section of the thickness planer upon which the work-
piece is placed before being pushed into the cutter head.
Kickback
An uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the workpiece
back toward the operator by the rotating cutter head.
Leading End
The end of the workpiece which is pushed into the cutter
head first.
Outfeed Table
The section of a thickness planer which supports the
workpiece after it passes under the cutter head.
• Support workpiece. Do not allow the board to hang
from the planer.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that
is longer or wider than the basic thickness planer table
or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.
Take Precautions Against Kickback. Do not permit
anyone to stand or cross in line with the path of the board
through the thickness planer. A kickback or thrown debris
will travel in this direction.
Keep Children Away. Keep all visitors a safe distance
from the thickness planer. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the thickness planer and workpiece.
Let the blade reach full speed before planing.
Turn switch off and unplug tool before inspecting, adjust-
ing or repairing the planer.
