SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.

6. Alignment of the Cutter Head. Keep the top edge of the out-feed table aligned with the edge of the knife at top dead center (TDC) to help avoid kick back injuries. 7. Using Quality Stock. Inspect the stock over carefully that you intend to joint. NEVER joint a board that has loose knots, staples, or nails in it.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: •...

• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects. • It is important to maintain free area around the machine, which is required for the working place. If any long material is machined, it is necessary to have a sufficient room in front of the machine as well behind it in the places of material input and output.
ASSEMBLY AND SET UP WARNING: For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. Locate the jointer in an area that is level and provides a solid foundation. Make sure that any potential kickback is not in line with aisles, doorways, wash stations or other work areas.
Cutter Head Guard Installation & Removal WARNING: Never operate the jointer without the cutter head guard in place and functioning perfectly. Failure to use the guard may cause severe injury. 1. Disconnect jointer from power source. 2. Turn knob (A) counterclockwise (ccw) to create tension on spring and hold it there.
Controls Box The jointer control box is mounted upside down to the back side of the infeed table for shipping. 1. Remove the mounting bolts and rotate the control box to the upright position using care not to damage the wire harness. 2.
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Controls Box The Shaper is equipped with a control box provided with ON - OFF push buttons. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to children and others not qualified to use the tool.
To adjust outfeed table: 1. Loosen thumbscrew (B). 2. Turn handwheel (C) located on the underside of the outfeed table. 3. When set, retighten thumbscrew (B). WARNING: There is a Depth Stop Limiter on the back side that must be released if cutting a depth greater than 1/8"...

Outfeed Table Too Low – If the outfeed table is too low, the work will have a gouge, or snipe, at the end of the cut. Outfeed Table At Correct Setting – The illustration at right shows the correct setting of outfeed table level with the knives.
4. When tables are level, tighten the lock screws. Fence Adjustments: Tilt Fence adjustments are made with the lock handles. To slide the fence forward or back on the table, loosen lock handle (A), slide the fence to the desired position and tighten handle (A) to secure fence.
Fence Stop Adjustments Periodically check the 90° and 45° backward (135°) tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist’s protractor. 90º Fence Adjustment The 90º stop is controlled by the stop bolt (E) and the stop plate (C). 1.
45º Fence Backward Stop Adjustment The 45º fence backward stop (fence positioned away from the operator) is controlled by the stop bolt (E). 1. Loosen the lock handle (A). 2. Move the stop plate (D) out of the way and position the fence at the 135º...
BASIC OPERATIONS Before making any cuts on the stock, make a few practice cuts by raising the infeed table to “0" and with the power disconnected. In this manner you will acquaint yourself with the feel of jointer operations. WARNING: •...
SURFACING Two Handed Push Block Adjust depth of cut. It is better to make cuts of approximately 1/64” (0.4mm). This will enable you to have better control over the material being surfaced. Make several passes if necessary to obtain proper stock removal. Never surface pieces shorter than 12”...
SURFACING: LONG BOARDS The use of push blocks will help to insure against hands coming in contact with cutterhead in the event of a kickback and as trailing end of board passes over cutterhead. When surfacing long stock, place push block near the front of piece and start feeding wood with the right hand until guard has opened and cut is started.
JOINTING (or EDGING) CAUTION: • Never edge a board that is less than 3 inches wide, less than 1/4 inch thick, or 12 inches long, without using a push block. • When workpiece is twice the length of the jointer infeed or outfeed table use an infeed or outfeed support.
BEVELING Although fence may be tilted in or out for bevel cut, for safety reasons it is recommended that the fence be tilted in, if possible, making a cradled cut. 1. When beveling never make cut deeper than 1/16” (1.6mm). 2.
CROSS GRAIN Note: When beveling around four edges of a workpiece, make cross grain cuts first. This will help clean up any chipping or splintering when beveling the end grain. For long boards, follow the same hand-over-hand procedure used for surfacing long boards. SKEWING (SHEAR CUTTING) When edging or facing burl or birds-eye maple, it is not unusual to deface or mar the surface being finished.
PUSH BLOCKS Push blocks are simple, yet necessary tools to assist the operator especially when jointing thin or short stock. In the illustration there are three types of push blocks commonly used in jointing. Push blocks may be obtained commercially or easily constructed. Note: The Jointer is supplied with two hold-downs for feeding stock.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Daily Maintenance •...
REPLACING OR ROTATING KNIFE INSERTS WARNING: Always disconnect and lockout power before performing any adjustments or service work. Blades and Anti-kickback fingers are sharp. Wear gloves to prevent injury. The knife inserts are four-sided. When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re-install.
