Infeed Table Adjustment
Before any cut the proper infeed table
adjustment must be made to safely and
efficiently use this jointer. DO NOT set the
infeed table depth greater than 1/16" on your
first pass and never greater than 1/8" when
rabbeting.
WARNING!
Beware of kickback when excessive depths of
cut are made. Limit a single pass from 1/16"
to 1/8". Serious injury could occur in the
event of kickback.
1. Loosen the infeed table lock (Fig. T)

2. Use the infeed table lever to raise or
lower the table (Fig.U)
3. Set the infeed table to the desired
depth of cut on the depth of cut scale
and lock the table in position
Adjust the infeed table stops to return the
table height to the same height every by
loosening the lock nuts and adjusting the
set screws.
Stock Inspection

DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that
contains knots. If a knot becomes
dislodged during the cutting operation it
could cause injury to the operator and
even damage the workpiece.

DO NOT joint or surface plane stock with
embedded foreign objects like nails,
rocks, etc. Doing this may cause kickback
or damage the workpiece.

Jointing or surface planing with the
grain will give a superior finish and is
safer for the operator, or feeding the
stock on the table so the grain points
down and toward you as viewed on
the edge of the stock. (See Fig.30).
Note: If the grain changes direction
along the edge, decrease the cutting
depth and make additional passes
