PLANER MODE
1. Using the Power Feed Handle: The power feed handle (A) Fig.7 in the
downward position is set to "OFF" (Jointer mode). To turn the power feed "ON"
for Planer mode, pull the power feed handle to the left and then lift it up as
shown.
2. Using the Planer Table Lock: Turn the planer table lock handle (B) Fig.7
counterclockwise to unlock the table to allow the table height to be adjusted,
turn the planer table lock handle clockwise to lock the table in place.
3. Table Height Adjustment: To adjust the table height, first unlock the planer
table handle (B) Fig.7. The table height adjustment handwheel (C) Fig.7 can be
rotated clockwise to raise the table, and counterclockwise to lower the table.
Each full revolution of the handwheel will move the table 5/32". The depth of cut
is indicated on the scale by the pointer (D), and by the value (millimeters) on the
handwheel depth of cut display (E), located behind the handwheel.
JOINTER MODE
1. Infeed and Outfeed Table Height Adjustment: The infeed and outfeed tables
are adjusted at the factory, and should not need to be adjusted. There is a lock
knob (A) Fig.8 and adjustment lever (B) on both the infeed and outfeed sides of
the front of the machine. To adjust the height of the infeed or outfeed table:
a. Loosen infeed table lock knob (A) Fig.8.
b. Raise or lower the infeed table using the adjustment lever (B).
c. Retighten table lock knob when adjustment has been made.
NOTE: The infeed table at its lowest position will result in a depth of cut of 5/32". A
depth of cut of 1/16" or less is recommended.
NOTE: The outfeed table needs to be set coplanar to the top of the cutterhead
"cutting circle", and then locked into position. It should not be adjusted further in
the jointing operation.
2. Using The Cutterhead Guard: The cutterhead guard (A) Fig.9 should be
properly positioned so that it rests against the fence, when material is thin
enough to pass under it. For edge jointing or for larger stock, the cutterhead
guard must be pulled back to allow the material to pass freely by the end of the
guard. To adjust the cutterhead guard position:
a. Loosen the cutterhead guard lock knob (B) Fig.9 and slide the cutterhead guard
(A) until it rests on against the fence (C).
b. Adjust the cutterhead guard height using the cutterhead guard height
adjustment knob (D) to allow the material to pass underneath.
3. Using The Fence: The jointer fence can be adjusted forward and backward
across the surface of the jointer table. The fence can also be tilted backward to
adjust the angle. The fence can be tilted backward up to 45° (135° from the
table surface.) It's good practice to move the fence periodically to ensure even
wear on the cutterhead.
To move the fence forward or backward:
a. Loosen the cutterhead guard lock knob (B) Fig.9 and move the cutterhead
guard away from the fence.
b. Loosen the two fence assembly lock handles (A) Fig.10.
c. Slide the fence assembly forward or backward to the desired position.
d. Retighten the lock handles (A) and reposition the cutterhead guard against the
fence.
To adjust the fence angle:
a. Loosen the cutterhead guard lock knob (B) Fig.9 and move the cutterhead
guard away from the fence.
b. Loosen the fence angle lock knobs (B) Fig.10 and tilt the fence back to the
desired angle.
c. You can also place a beveled workpiece or reference gauge on the table, and
adjust the fence angle to match, or use the angle scale (C).
d. Retighten the lock knobs (B) and reposition the cutterhead guard against the
fence.
