Know Your Machine An important part of safety is knowing your machine and its components. Please take the time to learn the items shown in the pictures below. The letters in the picture correspond to the following descrip- tions in the text. A.
Safety Instructions for Your Jointer READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading! JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS WITH YOUR LUMBER.
Avoiding Potential Injuries Figure 1. Correct operator and workpiece position, guard is in place, and push blocks are being used. Figure 3. Never stand directly behind Figure 2. Never surface plane without push blocks! the workpiece! Figure 4. Never plane/edge-joint with Figure 5.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation SHOP FOX ® Model W1694 2 HP, 110 volt motor draws approximately 12 amps. Since other machines may be using the same circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker, or fuse can carry the total load without tripping.
Unpacking The Model W1694 was carefully packed when it left our warehouse. If you receive it damaged or missing any parts, please contact Woodstock International Service and Support at 1-360-734- 3482 or send e-mail to:tech-support@shopfox.biz.
For information on the correct dust collection components for the jointer, contact your Woodstock International dealer for a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and available accessories. Initial Cleaning The exposed and unpainted jointer surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during storage and shipment.
UNPLUG POWER before you do any assem- bly or adjustment tasks! Otherwise, serious per- sonal injury to you or oth- ers may occur! READ and understand this entire instruction manual before performing any operations machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational informa- tion is not understood and followed.
Fence Assembly The fence assembly consists of the fence, the fence adjusting bracket, and the fence tilting handle. To assemble the fence assembly, do these steps: 1. Attach the fence to the fence adjusting bracket with four 8mm flat washers and four M8-1.25 x 20 cap screws (Figure 11).
Further adjustment of the 90˚ stop slide will be discussed in the Adjustments section. Dust Port The Model W1694 has a 2 ⁄ " dust port with a built-in suction impeller. The dust port can con- nect to a standard 30 gallon trash can or a 30 gallon plastic trash bag.
Page 17
To connect the dust port to a trash bag, do these steps: 1. Slip the filter bag spring into the filter bag arm. 2. Slide the filter bag arm over the dust port. 3. Assemble the trash bag support by sliding the connectors into the channels of the trash bag support segments (Figure 17).
ADJUSTMENTS UNPLUG the power cord before you do any assem- bly or adjustment tasks! Otherwise, serious per- sonal injury to you or oth- ers may occur! Fence The fence assembly has two primary methods of adjustment: • The face of the fence is adjustable relative to the table surface.
Fence Angle Stops There are three fence angle stops: 90˚, 45˚ inward, and 45˚ outward. The angle stops allow the fence to be quickly and accurately posi- tioned at various angles. To adjust the 90˚ angle stop, do these steps: 1.
Page 20
To adjust the 45˚ inward angle stop bolt, do these steps: 1. Slide the 90˚ stop slide away from the back of the fence. 2. Using a 45˚ square, position the fence 45˚ relative to the table surface. 3. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ inward stop bolt (Figure 23).
Blade Height The blade height must be adjusted correctly to increase the time between sharpenings, allow maximum performance, and to ensure a flat jointed surface. Check the blade height when- ever the blades are removed from the cutter- head or whenever cutting performance begins to degrade.
Depth Of Cut The depth of cut is equal to the distance between the infeed table surface and the top of the cutterhead blade at top-dead-center (Figure 28). The depth of cut is adjusted by raising and lowering the infeed table. To adjust the depth of cut: •...
Blade Guard The blade guard protects the operator from the cutterhead blades. It must be functioning cor- rectly before performing any jointing operation. To make sure the blade guard is functioning correctly, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE JOINTER! 2. Adjust the infeed table even with the out- feed table.
Operation Requirements • Never allow hands or push blocks to come within 4" of the cutterhead while it is mov- ing. • Carefully inspect boards before jointing. Defects such as twisting, knots, or cracks could cause the workpiece to break apart. •...
Surface Planing Surface planing flattens the concave face of the workpiece in preparation for surface planing on a thickness planer (Figure 32). The flat face allows the thickness planner to produce a work- piece that is flat and uniformly thick. Figure 33 shows an example of an operator using the jointer to surface plane a workpiece.
Edge Jointing Edge jointing straightens the concave edge of the workpiece (Figure 34). This straight edge can then be guided along the rip fence of a table saw when squaring rough lumber. The straight, flat edge is also used for gluing up large panel assemblies.
Usually bevel cuts are made on two boards that will be joined together at a corner. For bevel cuts, the Model W1694 has preset stops at 45˚ inward and 45˚ outward. If a dif- ferent angle is desired, use a bevel gauge to set the fence, then lock it in position.
MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1694 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following condi- tions and repair or replace when necessary: • Loose mounting bolts.
Replacing Blades To replace the cutterhead blades, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE JOINTER! 2. Use a 6 ⁄ " wide piece of wood to prop the blade guard open. 3. Remove the four blade clamping screws on one of the blades (Figure 38). 4.
Guard Spring To replace a worn out blade guard spring, do these steps: 1. Lay the jointer on its side so the switch is facing up. 2. Remove the bottom cover. 3. Remove the screw that secures the blade guard from beneath and remove the blade guard (Figure 41).
Drive Belts To replace the drive belts, do these steps: 1. Lay the jointer on its side so the switch is facing up. 2. Remove the bottom cover. 3. Loosen the screws securing the motor mount plate and the impeller mount plate (Figure 44).
Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Motor will not start and fuses or 1. Short circuit in line cord or plug. breakers blow. 2. Short circuit in motor or loose con- nections. 3. Incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in power line. Motor will not start. 1.
