Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(j)(3): Each hand-fed jointer with a horizontal cutting head did not have an automatic guard which will cover all the section of the head on the working side of the fence or gage and effectively keep the operator's hand from coming in contact with the revolving knives. The guard did not automatically adjust itself to cover the unused portion of the head and remain in contact with the material at all times. A) Adroit Thinking, Inc., doing business as 5 Acre Mill, located at 10860 OH State Route 2, Hicksville, OH 43526: On or about November 17, 2017, the employer did not ensure that employee(s) using the Delta DJ-20 Jointer (Model # 37-350, Serial # JOO 8275), located on the production floor, were adequately protected from coming in contact with the revolving knifes. Employees were not utilizing push stick(s) in conjunction with the automatic guard installed on the Delta DJ-20 Jointer, as instructed by the manufacture to ensure effective guarding from the point of operation. As a result, employees were not protected from amputation hazards while performing tasks such as, but not limited to, jointing edges of the boards ranging in size from two to four inches wide/high and from twenty to forty-five inches long.
