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. 
 +
* Use a hold down or push block when surfacing stock less than 12" long, or 3 inches wide, or 3 inches thick.
 +
* Never feed material the same direction as the cutter rotation. 
 +
* Never try to cut across grain as this could cause a kickback.
 +
* Don't exceed a 1/16" cut per pass as too heavy of a cut can try to push material back at you and overload the machine.
 +
* Make sure material cut is free of all metal and loose Knots to prevent damage to you and the machine. 
 +
* Never apply downward pressure to the material directly over the cutter head. This could cause the board to tip and or put your hand/fingers at risk.
