SAFETY The same work holding requirements are true Your Jointmaker Pro is no different than any other when making most cuts with the Jointmaker Pro. sharp tool— use common sense! The sliding table is analogous to a workbench surface and the angled trap clamps act as a vise. Although it may seem safe to take risks because These elements become particularly crucial with the saw blade is stationary—and the only motion is...

wider stock (where more teeth you have many to cut. The .3mm crosscut is ideal simultaneously engaged with the stock), multiple for small stock but does not track well in deep cuts passes are required utilizing a smaller depth of cut (it is so thin it will follow the density changes of the per pass.

2. Unpacking Your Jointmaker Pro is carefully packaged for safe transportation. Remove the packaging materials around it and inspect by Fig.1 and below list. If you discover that the product is damaged or any parts missed,please immediately call your distributor or Customer Service for advice. Fig.
4. Operation Note: This chapter states the basic operation of Jointmaker Pro. However, before the formal use, the Jointmaker Pro must be calibrated referring to Chapter 5 to ensure its high accuracy and excellent performance. 4.1 Adjusting the Blade Height (Fig. 3) As shown in Fig.3, rotate the blade height adjustment handle until you get desired blade height.

4.2 Adjusting the Blade Pitch (Fig. 3) As shown in Fig.3, you can adjust the blade pitch by turning the blade pitch adjustment knob. (The Blade Pitch increment of one turn is 0.05”) Note: 1. If the pitch was set too aggressive, you may get your material stuck on the blade , which may ruin the blade.

4.4 Replacing the Blade (Fig. 5) When the blade teeth is offset, blunt, or worn, replace the blade as follows: 1. Loosen the Light Grey Saw Guide by a hex wrench (The Black Guide is never adjusted--it is a reference surface.) and release the five blade lock screws, remove the old blade and replace with a new one.

4.6 Adjusting and Replacing the Fence (Fig. 6) 1. Loosen the four fence lock knobs, the fence can be swung and moved forward and backward to meet the needs of multiple cutting. 2. Raise the blade to the highest position, Erect the square (A) with its two sides against the table and blade respectively.

4.7 Cutting Guide Use the following guidlines to determine the working relationship between blade pitch, material length and material density. These three variables determine the number of full (or partial) cranks required for a through cut. Generally speaking, the smaller the cross-section the greater the pitch. As the cross-section lengthens, pitch decreases and the number of strokes and crank revolutions increases to complete the cut.
5. Calibrating the Perpendicularity and Parallelism (Fig.7&8) The Jointmaker Pro has been calibrated in factory, however, to ensure the cutting accuracy which may be influenced during transportation, please calibrate as follows: Note: Before sliding the table, the trap/straight fence must be removed to avoid the fence being cut by blade without calibration.
6. Maintenance 6.1 Lubrication (Fig. 9) Periodically clean all moving parts of saw dust and grime for optimal performance. The Jointmaker Pro is shipped with lubricating oil. It is recommended that you lubricate all indicated moving parts commensurate with use. Note: The nylon gears do not require lubrication.
