Woodworking machines - Use and safety is a course aimed at small and medium-sized joinery workshops, larger companies that work in the production of furniture and fittings, and higher education courses that involve the use of woodworking machines.
In order to handle woodworking machines safely, it is important that you have the right knowledge and expertise. You need to know how the machine works, how to check that all the guards, screens and emergency stop features are intact, and if this is the right machine for the job you want to do. It is essential that the operator is sufficiently trained for safe use, a risk assessment is conducted and instructions have been drawn up for each machine. It is also important that employers know what rules apply.

In order to handle woodworking machines in a safe way, it is important that you have the right knowledge and competence - how the machine works and that all protection, guards and emergency stops are intact and that it is the right machine for the task to be performed. In addition to machine safety, it is also important to know the most common risks in the wood industry such as noise, vibration, ergonomics, dust and chemical risks. The sub-section addresses the basic requirements regarding information on protection and safety. Each company can, based on its work environment responsibility, draw up local safety regulations that you must take note of.

The band saw is used in small and medium-sized joinery workshops to rip and crosscut solid wood and to saw curved contours in a workpiece. There are heavy-duty band saws for rip cutting, such as industrial band saws for sawmills with a feed system. Band saw blades can be made quite thin, which creates less loss of material than with circular saws of equivalent capacity.

The pendulum crosscut saw is among the most widely used crosscut saws. The saw blade runs parallel to the table surface and the saw unit is pulled across the workpiece, towards the operator. The pendulum crosscut saw is used as a universal crosscut saw, where the demand for high capacity is not too great and the batch sizes are small.

The jointer is used in the carpentry industry to direct timber. This means planing one or two adjacent surfaces so that they are absolutely flat and usually also at a 90 ° angle to each other. Here you plan away cupiness, skew and other defects. The jointer as used in the small or medium-sized carpentry is often fed by hand. If you plan large batches, you can equip the machine with a feeder. The sub-section addresses the basic requirements regarding information on protection and safety. Each company can, based on its work environment responsibility, draw up local safety regulations that you must take note of.

The machine is so-called because the sanding belt is arranged vertically in the machine. The endless belt runs over two vertical, rubber-clad rollers, one of which drives the belt. The sanding belt usually oscillates, in which case it may be referred to as an oscillating belt sander. In this case, as well as rotating, the belt has an up-and-down motion.
