  • Page 7: Introduction

    Description The PJ-882 Jointers are built upon a parallelogram design. This design allows independent adjustment of sections of the infeed and outfeed tables to ensure the tables remain parallel with the cutterhead and with each other. The fence has a tilting capacity of 45 degrees forward and backward, with positive stops.

    cutterhead guard should have sufficient spring tension. Test it by swinging the guard away from the fence and then releasing it. The guard must always have enough spring tension to cover the unused part of the cutterhead during the cutting operation, and to swing back to contact the fence when the workpiece has cleared the area.

    Setting the 45° Backward Stop 1. The 45° backward stop is controlled by the screw (G, Figure 18), which will contact the back of the fence when the fence is tilted backward. 2. Flip the stop block (E, Figure 18) out of the way.

  • Page 17: Setting Tables Coplanar

    Setting Tables Coplanar For optimum performance of the jointer, the infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar; that is, parallel front-to-back and side-to-side. If they are not parallel in both planes, the finished workpiece may have a slight taper across its width or length.

  • Page 18: Setting Knives At Correct Height And Parallel To Outfeed Table

    NOTE: On the front of the Jointer, the two outside cams are concealed by the hubs. You must remove the hub to expose the cam adjustment device. Remove the socket head cap screw and flat washer at the center with a 6mm hex wrench, and loosen the two setscrews in the hub (Figure 21 shows one of the two set screw holes).
  • Page 19 When you receive the jointer, the knives have been pre-set at the factory. However, the height and parallelism of the knives with the outfeed table should be checked, and any needed adjustments made, before operating the jointer. Height setting of knives is not applicable to the helical head models, in which the knife inserts are immediately at the proper height after installing.
  • Page 20 Figure 27 illustrates the correct setting of outfeed table level with the knives. The workpiece will rest firmly on both tables with no open space under the finished cut. The outfeed table has now been locked at a standard height, level with the arc of the knives. NOTE: After the outfeed table has been set at the correct height, it should not be changed except for special operations or after replacing...

Turn the jack screw(s) with a hex wrench; clockwise to lower the setting of the knife in the cutterhead, counterclockwise to raise the setting of the knife.

  • Page 22: Outfeed Table Stop Screws

    Outfeed Table Stop Screws The stop screw (B, Figure 33) limits the amount of fall of the outfeed table. The stop screw has been pre-set at the factory, but if future adjustment is ever needed, simply loosen the hex nut (A, Figure 33) and turn the screw (B, Figure 33) as needed with a 14mm wrench.

  • Page 23: Replacing Knives (Straight Cutterhead Only)

    Replacing Knives (Straight Cutterhead Only) Jointer knives are extremely sharp. Use caution and proceed slowly when working with or around the cutterhead. 1. Disconnect jointer from power source. 2. Remove the belt guard so that you can rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor pulley or by moving the drive belt.

  • Page 24: Replacing Or Rotating Knife Inserts (Helical Cutterhead Only)

    Replacing or Rotating Knife Inserts (Helical Cutterhead Only) Knife inserts are sharp; use caution when working with or around them. The knife inserts on the model PJ-882HH are four-sided. When dull, simply remove eac h insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re- install it.

If you find the outfeed table difficult to move with the lifting handle, loosen the two set screws on the outfeed table, as just described.

  • Page 26: Hand Placement

    Hand Placement At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion toward the cutterhead. After the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table.

  • Page 27: Jointing Short Or Thin Work

    NOTE: The knives must be extended beyond the cutterhead by 1/32”. (see “Replacing Knives – Straight Cutterhead Only” on page 23 for this procedure). 4. Re-connect power. It is easier and safer to take a series of shallow cuts. Lower the infeed table 1/32”...
