Safe Operation Details

Description:

TBD

Start With A Risk Assessment To Ensure A Safe Work Area:

  1. A two foot perimeter around the jointer should be kept clear of people, debris and sawdust that impair traction or footing to avoid slips and falls.
  2. Infeeds and Outfeeds should have enough room for entire stock to travel
  3. Safety glasses with side shields or a face shield must be worn. Hearing protection must be worn.
  4. Indicate to all others that loud noise will be made
  5. Remove loose fitting clothing, jewelry, and tie back long hair.
  6. Give the work your undivided attention.
  7. Do not wear gloves or anything that would allow a hand, fingers or clothing to be wrapped around the cutting blade.

Operational Safety Rules:

  1. Approach your work at VHS and on the jointer with a safe attitude!
  2. Make all jointer adjustments with the power shut off.
  3. Keep all guards and covers on the machine when it is on and running.
