s i d e o f t h e j o i n t e r. To give power to the jointer, move the
switch (A) to the UP position. To turn the power OFF,
move the switch (A) to the down position.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
T HE OFF
POSITION
W e suggest when the jointer is not in use, that the switch
be locked in the OFF position for safety and to prevent
unwarranted use. This can be done by pulling the switch
toggle (B) outward as shown in Fig. 24. Wi t h t h e s w i t c h
toggle (B) removed, the switch (A) will not operate. How-
ever, should the toggle switch (B) be removed while the
jointer is running, it can be turned off, but cannot be
r e s tarted again without inserting the switch toggle (B).
O V E R L O A D PROTECTION
The jointer is equipped with a reset overload relay button
( C ) Fig. 24. If the motor shuts o ff o r f a i l s t o s tart due to
overloading (jointing too deep; working with dull knives;
using the jointer beyond its capacity), move the power
switch to the off position. Let the motor cool three to five
minutes, then push the reset button (C) to reset the over-
load device. The motor can then be turned on again in
the usual manner.
