When your leading hand gets within 4"
of the cutterhead. Lift it up and over
the cutterhead and place it on the
portion of the workpiece that is now
on the outfeed table. Now, focus your
pressure on the outfeed end of the
workpiece while feeding, and repeat
the same process with your trailing
hand when it gets within 4" of the
cutterhead. Keep your hands safe! DO
NOT let them get closer than 4" from
the cutterhead when it is moving.

8. If a second edge is jointed it will not
likely be parallel with the first.
Bevel Cutting
Cutting a specific angle on the edge of a
workpiece is called bevel cutting. See (Fig.CC
& BB). This jointer has preset fence stops at 45
degrees inward, 90 and 45 degrees outward
(135 deg.) If you require a different angle, the
preset stops can easily be adjusted to meet
your needs.

(Between 1/16" to 1/8" for bevel
cutting, for hardwoods and wide
workpieces use a smaller depth of cut.

workpiece, place the concave side
