Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with
all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This Woodworking Jointer-planer is designed and intended for use by properly trained and
experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a
woodworking jointer or planer, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier disclaims any
real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this woodworking jointer-planer.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this woodworking jointer-planer, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and
roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
•
•
•
Lead from lead based paint.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power source.
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
16. Make sure the woodworking jointer-planer is firmly secured to the floor or bench before use.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the cutterhead or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
24. 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.
25. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
26. Maintain tools with care. Keep knives sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
27. Turn off the machine 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. Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches, scrap, stock, and
cleaning rags away from the machine.
31. Always use a hold-down or push block when surfacing stock less than 12" inches long, or 3 inches
wide, or 3 inches thick.
32. Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than 8", narrower than 3/4" or less than 1/4"
thick.
33. The hands must never be closer than 3 inches to
the cutterhead (see Figure).
34. Never apply pressure to stock directly over the
cutterhead. This may result in the stock tipping
into the cutterhead along with the operator's
fingers. Position hands away from extreme ends
of stock, and push through with a smooth, even
motion. Never back workpiece toward the infeed
table.
35. To avoid kickback, the grain must run in the
same direction you are cutting.
Before
attempting to joint, or plane, each work piece
must be carefully examined for stock condition
and grain orientation.

36. When working with a swirl grain wood or burls, making it necessary to plane against the grain, use a
lesser depth of cut and a slow rate of feed.
37. Move the hands in an alternate motion from back to front as the work continues through the cut. Never
pass the hands directly over the cutter knife. As one hand approaches the knives remove it from the
stock in an arc motion and place it back on the stock in a position beyond the cutter knife (Fig. 18).
38. At all times hold the stock firmly.
