Lubrication - Jet JJ-6CSDX Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

13. To re-install the cutterhead, reverse the
above steps.
Note: Make sure that the fence base casting
is level with the Outfeed table when
securing.
11.3 Table coplanarity
For optimum jointer performance, infeed and
outfeed tables must be coplanar; that is, parallel
front-to-back and side-to-side. If they are not
parallel in both planes, the finished workpiece
may have a slight taper across its width or
length.
The tables have been properly aligned at the
factory. However, this should be confirmed by
the operator in case misalignment has occurred
during shipping. Also, as the machine receives
use, this coplanarity
periodically and adjusted if necessary.
The following procedure uses a steel straight
edge to set the tables, which should be accurate
enough for most purposes. Adjustment of
outfeed table is shown; procedure for infeed
table will be identical.
1. Disconnect jointer from power source.
2. Remove cutterhead guard.
3. Slide fence assembly back until it clears the
tables.
4. Loosen wing screws (B, Figure 8-8).
5. Loosen lock knob (Figure 8-9), and raise
outfeed table higher than the cutterhead.
Tighten lock knob.
6. Place straight edge across front of outfeed
table and extending over infeed table.
7. Raise infeed table until it contacts straight
edge, and tighten infeed table in position.
should be checked
8. The straight edge should lie evenly across
both tables without gaps between straight
edge and table. Move straight edge to rear
of outfeed table, and perform the same test.
9. If straight edge does not lie evenly, the front
or back of table must be adjusted to make
the tables coplanar. Proceed as follows:
10. Loosen locknuts and set screws (A, Figure
8-8) on outfeed table.
11. Place a thin metal shim, such as a piece of
aluminum can, between outfeed table and
dovetail slide, in the location that needs to
be raised. Confirm the setting with the
straight edge; use additional shim(s) if
needed.
12. Tighten set screws (A
appropriate dovetail movement, according to
instructions under Gib Adjustment.
13. Tighten locknuts (A, Figure 8-8) and wing
screws (B, Figure 8-8).
14. Recheck table and knife settings. See sect.
8.6, 8.7, 8.11.

12.0 Lubrication

Use a good grade of light grease on the

steel adjusting screws located in the raising
and lowering mechanisms of the work
tables.
Occasionally, apply a few drops of light

machine oil to the infeed/outfeed gibs. This
permits the tables to slide freely.
The cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime
lubricated and need no further care.
