  • Page 7 DEFINITIONS OF JOINTING AND PLANING OPERATIONS JOINTING OPERATIONS – Jointing cuts or edge jointing is the simplest and most common operation which can be done on the jointer and these cuts are made to square an edge of a workpiece. The fence is square with the table and the depth of cut is approximately 1/8 inch.

  • Page 8: Unpacking And Cleaning

    UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.

Remove three screws (B) Fig. 6, and remove cover (C) from dust chute located under outfeed table. Remove mounting hardware located inside cover (C) that fastens outfeed end of machine to skid and replace cover (C).
  • Page 10 ASSEMBLING DUST HOOD 1. Assemble the dust hood (A) Fig. 8, to the outfeed end of the jointer base using the seven 5/8″ long button head screws (B) as shown. MOVING START-STOP SWITCH TO THE UP POSITION 1. For shipping purposes, the start-stop switch and switch arm (A) is shipped in the down position, as shown in Fig.
  • Page 11 SINGLE PHASE INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: The jointer cutterhead is a high inertia load which causes the motor to draw a high inrush current during starting. The jointer must be connected to an electrical circuit protected by a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker to handle this high inrush of current. We recommend either a 30 Amp time lag fuse, or a 40 Amp motor start circuit breaker.

  • Page 12: Three Phase Installation

    THREE PHASE INSTALLATION If the motor on your machine is wired for 200, 230 or 460 Volts, Three Phase, proceed as follows when connecting your machine to an electrical power system. 1. Remove screw (A) Fig. 15, and terminal strip cover (B).

    OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS START-STOP SWITCH The start-stop switch is conveniently located on a post, behind the jointer fence, for easy accessibility. To start the machine, simply press the start button (A) Fig. 18, and to stop the machine, press the stop button (B). FENCE OPERATION 1.
  • Page 14 ADJUSTING FENCE POSITIVE STOPS The fence on your jointer is equipped with positive stops at the most used fence positions of 90 degrees and 45 degrees right and left. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: 1. Position the fence 90 degrees to the table making sure end of stop screw (A) is against stop (B) as shown in Fig.
  • Page 15 5. Tilt the fence outward as far as possible and using a combination square (F) Fig. 26, check to see if the fence is tilted outward 45 degrees to the table, as shown. NOTE: 90 degree stop (B) must be rotated up in order to tilt the fence outward.

    REMOVING, REPLACING AND SETTING KNIVES If the knives are removed from the cutterhead for replacement or regrinding, care must be used in removing, replacing and resetting them as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Move the fence to the right until it is clear of the cutterhead. 3.
  • Page 22 7. IMPORTANT: For ease in rotating the cutterhead during the knife setting operation, pull outward on latch (H) Fig. 46, and open hinged access door (J). This provides access to the cutterhead pulley (K) Fig. 47, and belt (L) allowing you to rotate the cutterhead.
