MOUNT JOINTER
Refer to Figure 2, page 3.
Place jointer on stand and attach it.
NOTE: At least two people are required to lift the 300
lb. jointer.
Jointer is held to stand by three locking studs, three
lock washers and flat washers.
Threaded mounting holes in base of jointer must be
lined up with holes in top of stand. Using a flashlight
will assist in quickly locating the holes.
One location for a stud which fastens the jointer to
stand is reached through the chip chute.
Location for other two locking studs are reached
through the doorway of the stand.
INSTALL V-BELTS
Refer to Figure 12.
Jointer uses a two-belt system for more efficient power
transfer. Motor mounting plate pivots at one side to pro-
vide for easy mounting and easy belt tensioning.
Loosen front bolts (Key No. 11) so that motor
mounting plate (Key No. 9) is loose.
NOTE: The front bolts are located in the slotted end
of the plate.
Pull up on motor mounting plate and install V-Belts
onto driven pulley and motor pulley.
Apply tension to the belts by pushing down on plate
and tightening bolts.
Make sure belts are tensioned properly. Belt is prop-
erly tensioned when moderate pressure applied to
the belts (between the pulleys) will deflect the belts
about '/2".
If belts do not have the proper tension, the motor
mounting plate can be adjusted by loosening front
bolts. Move plate, tighten bolts and recheck belt
tension.
MOUNT
HANDWHEELS
Refer to Figure 2, page 3.
Handwheels attach to the leadscrews for table height
adjustment. The leadscrew is coupled to the hand-
wheel with a key.
Loosen and remove screw and flat washer from
leadscrew.
Place key into keyway on the leadscrew.
Slide handwheel onto leadscrew.
Fasten handwheel to leadscrew with screw and flat
washer.
MOUNT
BELT GUARD
Refer to Figure 13.
Loosen and remove two bolts and washers (Key
Nos. 8 and 44) on the back of the jointer base.
Position belt guard (Key No. 15) on back of jointer
and secure in position with bolts and washers.
MOUNT
BLADE
GUARD
Refer to Figures 2 and 3, pages 3 and 4.
The blade guard assembly employs a spring loaded
return located between the blade guard and guard
shaft. Blade guard assembly can be attached or
removed without altering spring action.
The infeed table includes a mounting block which is
part of the casting. Insert guard shaft into the mount-
ing block.
Position blade guard assembly with spring pin facing
toward front of infeed table (see Figure 3).
Secure in position with T-handle bolt.
Tension will be applied to guard when fence is installed.

MOUNT
FENCE BRACKET
ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 13.
Loosen the two socket head bolts (Key No. 41) of the
outfeed table. Do not remove bolts. Loosen just
enough to fit bracket over bolts.
Place the fence bracket assembly over the bolts.
Carefully tighten bolts, making sure to keep the top
surfaces of the fence bracket assembly and outfeed
table flush to each other.
MOUNT
FENCE TO BRACKET
Refer to Figures 4 and 14, pages 5 and 19.
Swing blade guard forward, over and past cutterhead.
Secure in position.
Loosen hex nuts (Key No. 6) several turns.
Position fence in front of the link (Key No. 10). Make
sure blade relief in fence is against the table, over
the cutterhead.
Turn the cone point set screws (Key No. 7) equally
until they seat firmly in the pivot connectors
(Key No. 5).
Check that fence is parallel to both jointer tables. If
not parallel, loosen set screws, turn pivot connector
as needed, and then tighten set screws into pivot
connectors.
