back them off approximately 1/4 turn or until the table moves freely, and re-set the lock nuts on the gib screws.

45 degree forward stop: 1. The 45 degree forward stop is controlled by the screw (E, Figure 25). 2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 25) and the hex nut on the screw (E, Figure 25). 3. Set the 45 degree protractor on the table and against the fence, and tilt the fence until it is flush against the 45 degree angle. -
Page 19: Direction Of Grain
Direction of Grain Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain. This will result in chipped and splintered edges (Figure 27). Feed with the grain to obtain a smooth surface (Figure 28). Hand Placement At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly against the infeed table and fence while the right hand pushes the work toward the knives. -
Page 20: Edge Jointing
Edge Jointing This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set guide fence square with the table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Do not make cuts deeper than 1/8" in a single pass. Hold the best face of the piece firmly against the fence throughout the feed. -
Page 21: Taper Cuts
Taper Cuts A useful jointer operation is cutting an edge to a taper. The method can be used on a wide variety of work. Tapered legs of furniture are a common example. Instead of laying the piece on the infeed table, lower the forward end of the work onto the outfeed table. -
