This page is INCOMPLETE and still missing some important information before it can be used as a resource. Please use the "Discussion" feature above or talk to one of the tutors if you would like to help improve it. Thanks!

This is the content required for an introduction to our jointer-planer combination machine - reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a tutor! It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual (felder-gruppe.at (DE), (EN))

This is one of those machines that can cause very serious injuries when something goes wrong, so do not use if you are alone in the Space'.

Safety

Personal protection: Protection - goggles.svg

Dangers Precautions
radidly revolving knives - exposed at the top (jointer)
  • use the blade guard to only expose as much of the blade as needed
    • never remove the blade guard!
  • keep your fingers together when you guide the workpiece, do not spread them (nicht die Finger abspreizen)
  • the hand at the back of the workpiece is especially in danger of touching the knives - use a proper push block whenever possible
  • pieces that are narrow and flat may only be jointed with the help of a secondary fence your fingers can glide over [1]
kickback
  • push blocks for the jointer require a "lip" that grabs the end of the board - friction-pushing on top is not sufficient

Suggested Reading

Besides these safety notes, you should read <...>

Demonstration

The tutor will show you these steps in detail:

  • how to use the blade guard (Schutzbrücke) on the jointer DE video
    • to joint the board's wide faces: covering the entire blade, raised just enough for the board to fit under it
    • to joint a board's narrow sides: lowered all the way, moved from the fence just enough for the board to fit between
  • <...>
