Page 9: Assembly
Assembly Exposed metal surfaces, such as the table and fence, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This coating should be removed with a soft cloth and solvent (such as mineral spirits) once the machine has been assembled. Do not use an abrasive pad as it may scratch the exposed surfaces. -

it must have enough tension to completely cover the cutterhead, and press firmly against the fence. Test the tension by swinging the guard away from the fence and then releasing it. The guard should snap back to the fence. NOTE: The guard must operate freely and must not drag on the rabbeting ledge or infeed table. -

On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been completed, you should check that the incoming leads have been connected properly: 1. Connect machine to power source and press the start button. Make sure cutterhead is clear of all obstructions! (See page 21 for more detailed instructions on the switch.) 2. - Page 15 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Remove the belt guard so that you can rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor pulley or by moving the drive belt. Do not grab the cutterhead itself to rotate it. 3. Remove the old knives by loosening gib screws with an 8mm wrench, and allowing the springs to push the knife upward.

least two more times, each time tightening the screws more on all three knives. On the third time, they should all tightened. Before starting the jointer, make sure screws tightened. A loose knife thrown from the cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury. 11. -
Page 17: Leveling Tables
Leveling Tables Refer to Figure 20. The tables have been leveled with each other from the factory, but this should be confirmed by the user, and checked periodically, by placing a steel straight edge across both tables. If tables are not level, this may be the result of loose gibs. -
Page 18: Adjusting Depth Of Cut
Adjusting Depth of Cut Refer to Figure 21. Depth of cut is determined by the height of the infeed table relative to the cutterhead. Setting the infeed table is achieved with both a rapid adjust and a fine adjust. Rapid Adjust: 1. -
Page 19: Spring Cutting
After the outfeed table has been set at the correct height, it should not be changed except for special operations or after replacing knives. Examples of incorrect settings: If the outfeed table is too high, the finished surface of the workpiece will be tapered (Figure 23). -
Page 20: Fence Stops
Fence Stops See Figure 29. Periodically check the 90 degree and 45 degree tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist's protractor. If adjustments are necessary, proceed as follows: 90-degree stop: 1. -
Page 21: Operating Controls
Operating Controls Start/Stop Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is power connected to the Jointer, not just when the Jointer is running. Do not assume that no light means there is no power to the machine. -
Page 22: Basic Jointer Operation
Basic Jointer Operation NOTE: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get the feel of operations before attempting regular work. This section briefly discusses general rules as well as some of the basic cuts using a jointer, such as surfacing, edging, beveling, skewing, rabbeting and taper cuts. -
Page 23: Jointing Warped Surfaces
IMPORTANT: When stock is longer than twice the length of the infeed and outfeed tables, an assistant or support table must be used to support the stock. Always use a hold down or push block when surfacing short stock or stock less than 3 inches thick. -
Page 24: Skewing (Shear Cutting)
Skewing (Shear Cutting) When edging or facing burl or birds-eye maple, it is not unusual to deface or mar the surface being finished. This is caused by the cutterhead knives occasionally cutting against the grain. In order to prevent the defacing or marring of this type wood, it is necessary to skew, or angle finish, the material being worked. -
Page 25: Rabbeting
Rabbeting rabbet removal of the cutter guard. Use extreme caution and keep hands clear of cutterhead. Always replace guard immediately after rabbeting operation is completed. Refer to Figure 37. A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a board. -
