There are several hazards you need to be aware of when using a jointer.
* The cutters are very sharp and spin very fast. Keep your fingers away from the cutter head even when its not spinning. Use a push pad/stick to keep your fingers a safe distance from the cutters.
* Never let your thumb or fingers hang down near the table when pushing a board through the machine.
* Hold onto material firmly and keep it against the table and fence to help prevent material kicking back. If material catches on the blade the material can shoot back at you and this is called a kickback.
This is a video of a kickback:
