Unpacking

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unex-
pected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the
power cord into a power source outlet during
unpacking, until all assembly steps are complete,
and you have read and understand the safety and
operating instructions.
WARNING: This tool is heavy. To reduce the risk of
back injury, get help whenever you have to lift the
tool.
Your jointer/planer is shipped complete in one carton and
includes a steel cabinet.
1. Clear yourself a large work area. Remove the jointer/
planer and parts from the carton. Lift the tool at the
bottom of the base.
2. Place the tool on a secure, stationary work surface and
look it over carefully.
3. Separate all parts from packing materials and check
each one with the "Table of Loose Parts" and the "List
of Loose Parts" to make certain all items are
accounted for before discarding any packing material.
If you are missing any parts, check packing material for
those items.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not attempt
to assemble the jointer/planer. Do not plug in the
power cord or turn the switch on until the missing
parts are obtained and are installed correctly.

List of Loose Parts

NOTE: Before beginning assembly, check that all parts
are included. If you are missing any part, do not assem-
ble the tool. Call 1-800-4-RIDGID or E-mail us at
info.@ridgidwoodworking.com to get the missing part.
Sometimes small parts can get lost in packaging mate-
rial. Do not throw away any packaging until jointer/
planer is put together. Check packaging for missing
parts before contacting RIDGID. A complete parts list
(Repair Parts) is at the end of the manual. Use the list
to identify the number of the missing part.
The following parts are included:
Item Part Name
A Jointer Bed Assembly ..................................... 1
B Fence Assembly ............................................. 1
C Motor Assembly w/Switch............................... 1
D V-Belt .............................................................. 1
Combination

4. Contact an Authorized Service Center to get the miss-
ing parts. Use the "Repair Parts" pages at the end of
this manual to identify the part number of the missing
parts after completing the "Unpacking and Checking
Contents section.
CAUTION: The cutting knives are extremely sharp.
Do not touch the cutter knives.
5. The top of the table and the front of the fence are
coated with a protective substance before shipping.
These surfaces must be cleaned and protected before
using the jointer/planer. Clean these surfaces with a
general purpose solvent, such as mineral spirits. Water
will rust the surfaces. Do Not use water, soapy water or
water based cleaners.
CAUTION: Use solvents according to the instruc-
tions on their package. Use only in well ventilated
areas, away from flames, sparks or heat sources.
Do not use solvents in closed areas.
6. Protect the exposed surfaces with wax. Paste wax or
automotive wax are both good for this job. The wax will
protect the surface from rust and will make it easier to
slide the wood along the table and fence. Automotive
wax is best as it will not rub off on the wood.
7. Wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
