  • Page 14: Assembly & Adjustments

    ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS FENCE ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1. Face the rear of the jointer and remove the 4 screws (A) using the provided 4mm Hex Wrench. See FIG 1 2.
  • Page 15 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) 3. Locate the Fence Sliding Bracket (See page 13) and the 2 screws and 2 square nuts (See page 13). Insert screws through the Fence Sliding Bracket upper holes “A” in FIG 3, and thread the square nuts on by hand about 3 compete turns. See FIG 4. Do not tighten at this time.
  • Page 16 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) 4. Locate Fence (See page 13) and slide from end, with the back of fence facing bracket, over the square nuts as shown in FIG 5. Note that the bottom of the fence is beveled and the square nuts have flats on them so you may have to rotate them slightly to slide the fence on.
  • Page 17 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) 6. Facing the rear of the jointer, place the Sliding Bracket Fence Assembly onto the Fence Bracket and slide forward (towards front of the jointer) until the table holes are half exposed as shown in FIG 7. 7.
  • Page 18 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) CUTTERHEAD GUARD The cutterhead guard has a tension return spring. The tension on this spring is set at the factory. When the guard is installed properly it should return to the fence automatically after the work piece has passed over the cutterhead. Be sure the guard is functioning properly every time before using the jointer.
  • Page 19 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) FENCE ADJUSTMENTS The fence can be tilted from 90 to 135 degrees. There are 2 adjustable stop set screws for these limits. See FIG 17 for the location of these set screws. 1. To set the 90 degree stop, slightly loosen fence lever “B”, which locks the fence in place, and lift fence slightly clearing tables and slide fence forward approximately 1 inch.
  • Page 20 ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.) 2. To set the 135 degree stop, slightly loosen lever “B” and loosen fence lever “A”. Slide the fence back completely and re-tighten lever “A”. Place a 45 degree angle against the fence, insert shims under fence, and use the provided 2.5mm Hex Wrench to adjust the 135 degree set screw against the stop.

  • Page 21: (Optional) Cleaning Spiral Cutterhead & Tips

    POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES NOTE: WAHUDA spiral cutterheads are machined with a film of oil that may be left over from the process. Run pieces of scrap to remove the residue if apparent. If residue is still present after machining scrap, only then perform the following procedures.
  • Page 22 CLEANING SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD & TIPS (cont.) Step 3 - Separate the tips from the screws and place in separate containers with a bit of mineral spirits or non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Once all are removed, wipe down the bare cutterhead using rags with whichever solvent you chose. Once the oil is wiped off, use an air compressor or a can of pressurized air to clear each seat and screw hole on the cutter head.

  • Page 23: Operations

    OPERATIONS NOTE: USE SCRAP STOCK TO FIRST TO CHECK JOINTER SET UP AND OPERATIONS. ONCE YOU HAVE DESIRED RESULTS, ONLY THEN USE YOUR PROJECT STOCK NOTE: This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this jointer.
  • Page 24 OPERATIONS (cont.) DIRECTION OF GRAIN Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain. The result will be chipped and splintered edges or tear out. Feed with the grain to obtain a smooth surface. See FIG 25 FIG 25 The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin shaving to 1/8” deep. The pointer on the scale is to indicate the depth of cut.
  • Page 25 OPERATIONS (cont.) PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand pushes the work down and toward the knives. After the cut is underway, the new surface rests on the outfeed table.
  • Page 26 OPERATIONS (cont.) JOINTING AN EDGE This is the most common operation for the jointer. These cuts are made to square an edge of a work piece that already has one flat face to rest against the fence. Set the fence square with the table.
  • Page 27 OPERATIONS (cont.) UNDESIREBALE RESULTS NOTE: Rough sawn , bowed, cupped, or twisted stock will take several passes before a smooth finish is achieved. Apply light downward pressure to this type of stock and take very shallow depth of cut passes to eliminate stock waste and bowed surfaces. Research proper jointing methods for imperfect lumber.

  • Page 28: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Your jointer should provide you with a long time of service provided you take the time to perform the following maintenance operations.

Lower the infeed table to its lowest setting by rotating Infeed Table Lock Knob “A” counterclockwise to loosen and rotate the Infeed Table Lower/Raise Knob “B” clockwise to lower the table. See FIG 12 3. Place a metal straight edge at least 24” in length on the outfeed table across the cutterhead near the fence and over the cutterhead tip nearest the fence to check for parallelism.
  • Page 38 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (cont) If the outfeed table is not parallel with the cutterhead tips, remove the table hole plugs to expose the table hold down and adjustment screw holes using your finger or appropriate tool of your choice. See below. Table hole plug NOTE: Please keep in mind the previous diagrams on pages 33 through 35 when making adjustments to avoid issues.
  • Page 39 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (cont) Once the outfeed table is properly adjusted, you can reinsert the table plugs and then move onto the infeed table to check if adjustments are necessary. Do not go back and readjust the outfeed table once you have started the infeed table adjustments as this will force you to start over. 5.
  • Page 40 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (cont) INFEED / OUTFEED EXTENSION SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT The infeed and outfeed extension supports are adjustable for coplanar or parallelism if ever necessary. These are set at the factory. If after planing or edge joining a work piece, an adjustment is necessary, follow these instructions.
