GENERAL SAFETY ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER when making adjustments, changing parts or performing TOOL. A moment of inattention while operating power any maintenance.
Additional Safety for Jointers Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause blindness or eye injuries. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded. This tool must be grounded while in use to protect Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong the operator from electric shock. IN THE EVENT OF A grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the tool’s plug.

Cleanup Cleanup Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash The unpainted surfaces of your machine are points and can explode coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that or cause fire if used to prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. clean machinery. Avoi d This rust preventative works extremely well, but it u sing t h e s e p r o d u c t s will take a little time to clean.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight The physical environment where the machine is of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon operated is important for safe operation and lon- which the machine is placed will bear the weight gevity of machine components.
Moving & Placing NOTICE Jointer Make sure lifting straps do not touch control panel pedestal in next step. Attach lifting slings to infeed and outfeed tables, as shown in Figure 13. Position slings as close to base as possible and tighten table HEAVY LIFT! locks to prevent damaging tables.

Assembly Lower jointer into position. IMPORTANT: Before jointer was shipped from factory, infeed table was fully raised and stop bolt was threaded up against bottom of it to safely secure it during transit. You MUST adjust position of infeed stop bolt before Lifting heavy machinery attempting to lower infeed table.

Lift fence assembly over fence carriage, slip Install cutterhead guard shaft into mounting hole, as shown in Figure 19, then secure it sliding bushing into the fence carriage slot, ensuring key fits snugly into key slot, as using lock knob. shown in Figure 16.
Dust Collection Test Run Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly. DO NOT operate your jointer without an ade- quate dust collection system. This machine If you find an unusual problem during the test run, creates substantial amounts of wood dust immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from...
Recommended Push OFF button (see Figure 21). Adjustments OFF Button ON Button For your convenience, the adjustments listed below have been performed at the factory and no further setup is required to operate your machine. However, because of the many variables involved with shipping, we recommend that you at least verify the following adjustments to ensure the best possible results from your new machine.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Schedule Cleaning & Protecting Cleaning this machine is relatively easy. Cleaning the Model G0834 is relatively easy. To reduce risk of shock or Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and accidental startup, always wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.

Rotating/Replacing Cutterhead Inserts Rotating/Replacing Put on heavy leather gloves to protect fingers and hands. Cutterhead Inserts Carefully clean away all sawdust or debris from top of insert, Torx screw, and surround- ing area Figure 38). The spiral cutterhead is equipped with 4-sided indexable carbide inserts.
Tensioning/ Check belt tension: Each belt is correctly tensioned when there is approximately ⁄ " Replacing V-Belts deflection when it is pushed with moderate pressure, as shown in Figure 40. V-belts transfer power from motor to cutterhead. To ensure efficient transfer of power to cutterhead, Cutterhead Pulley make sure V-belts are always properly tensioned and in good condition.
Page 34
Checking/Adjusting Press down on motor until there is proper tension on V-belts. While holding motor Pulley Alignment down, tighten hex nuts on tension rods (see Figure 41 on Page 35). Replace rear access panel and close Proper pulley alignment is important for optimum cutterhead pulley cover.
Setting Outfeed Loosen hex nuts on motor tension rods (see Figure 43). Table Height Tension Rods w/Hex Nuts The outfeed table height must be even with the top of the cutterhead knives when they are posi- tioned at top dead center. If the outfeed table is set too low, there will be snipe.
Calibrating Open cutterhead pulley cover and rotate cutterhead pulley until one cutterhead insert Depth-of-Cut Scale is at top dead center (its highest point during rotation), as shown in Figure 45. The depth scale can be calibrated or "zeroed" to Top Dead make sure the cutting depth shown on the scale Center matches the actual cutting depth (per pass).
Checking/Adjusting Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs over cutterhead, rotate motor pulley so Table Parallelism straightedge is between inserts, then lower outfeed table until straightedge just touches cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 50. If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results and kickback can occur.
