Running and adjusting the jointer Cleaning the jointer The machine is shipped with non painted surfaces protected from rust by a film of grease. The grease must be removed with WD40 or similar as grease attracts saw dust and dirt. The surfaces should then be coated with a Teflon lubricant or similar. Teflon tends to dry and will not attract saw dust and dirt.

6. Push the stop lever [direction either left or right]. The machine should slow down and stop.

2. Lift the tooth and rotate to the new cutting face. Note: Take special care to clean the tooth and its matching surface. Any dirt or sawdust that is trapped under the tooth will cause it to be at a different height to the other teeth, and will degrade the surface finish when you start machining.
The stops come pre-set, but should adjustment be required, see the guide lines below. Adjusting the 45 degree stop 1. Adjust the fence to 45 degrees using a set square, and lock in position. 2. Adjust the stop screw so that it touches the back of the fence and lock in position with the lock nut.
