Test Run Each jointer has been inspected and calibrated before leaving the factory to meet our quality and precision standards. Due to various reasons, this jointer may need to be re-adjusted when it arrives at your workshop. It is recommended to complete this test run before using the jointer for production work and repeat if the jointer is relocated.
Glue Deposits Glue left on the workpiece surface can dull cutters and lower cut quality. Scrape off all glue deposits from the workpiece before the work begins. 30 | Page Oliver Machinery 4265C.051T/ 4265C.053T Jointer...
Inspect Wood Grain To achieve optimal results, cut WITH the grain. Inspect the wood grain from the side of a workpiece to determine the feed direction. Avoid cutting against/across/end grain as severe kickback and chipping may occur. Some workpieces have complex wood grains and it is impossible to cut with the grain for the entire length of a workpiece.
7. As the left feeding hand approaches the cutterhead, stop feeding. Carefully lift the left-hand push block and use it to feed the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Maintain control of the workpiece with the right hand while repositioning the left hand. 32 | Page Oliver Machinery 4265C.051T/ 4265C.053T Jointer...

8. As the right feeding hand approaches the cutterhead, stop feeding. Carefully lift the right-hand push block and move the entire body towards the outfeed table. Place the right-hand push block on the stock that sits on the outfeed table. Use the left hand to maintain control of the stock while repositioning the right hand.
1/16” or less based on the width of the Use push blocks to keep hands away from bevel and hardness of the workpiece. the cutterhead. Position both hands and the push blocks above the cutterhead guard when feeding. 34 | Page Oliver Machinery 4265C.051T/ 4265C.053T Jointer...
Rabbet Cutting A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a workpiece. This jointer is capable of making rabbet cuts as deep as 3/4". Depending on the requirements and constraints of your project, a jointer, or other tools such as a table saw, router, or other hand tools, can be the best tool for your rabbeting needs.
This can happen when planing wood with high moisture content or if the cutter is dull. Sometimes it is impossible to avoid fuzzy grain due to the nature of certain wood types. To mitigate this issue, avoid using wood with high moisture content and use sharp cutters. 36 | Page Oliver Machinery 4265C.051T/ 4265C.053T Jointer...
