9. The knives are adjusted correctly when the cutting
edge of the knife extends out .060" (1.5 mm) from the
cutterhead diameter.
10. Carefully rotate the cutterhead (G) Fig. 60, until the
round portion of the cutterhead is on top as shown.
11. Place a .060" (1.5 mm) feeler gage (H) Fig. 60, on the
cutterhead and using a straight edge (J) on the rear table
adjust the height of the rear table until it is .060" (1.5 mm)
above the cuttinghead diameter.
12. Lock the rear table in position and remove the feeler
gage.
13. Lower the infeed table and place a straight edge (J)
Fig. 61, on the outfeed table extending over the
cutterhead as shown.
14. Rotate the cutterhead by hand until the knife is at its
highest point at each end of the cutterhead. To raise the
knife, use wrench (E) Fig. 61, and turn raising screw
clockwise until the knife just touches the straight edge (J)
on each end and center of the cutterhead when the knife
is at its highest point. When you are certain the knife is
adjusted properly, tighten the four locking screws (B) by
turning them counterclockwise.
15. Adjust the remaining two knives in the same manner.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL KNIVES ARE
SECURELY
CUTTERHEAD BEFORE TURNING ON POWER.
16. Replace cutterhead guard.
MACHINE USE
The following directions will give the beginner a start on jointer operations. Use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings
and to get the feel of the operations before attempting regular work.
NOTE: THE KNIVES ON THE JOINTER WILL NOT WEAR EVENLY BY FEEDING THE WOOD THROUGH THE SAME
SPOT ON THE TABLE EVERY TIME. FEED THE WOOD THROUGH THE JOINTER AT DIFFERENT SPOTS ON THE
TABLE WHEN POSSIBLE, TO HELP ELIMINATE UNEVEN WEAR OF THE KNIVES.
ALWAYS USE CUTTERHEAD GUARD AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTERHEAD. ALWAYS
USE PUSH BLOCKS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. NEVER MAKE JOINTING AND PLANING CUTS
DEEPER THAN 1/8" IN ONE PASS.
PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand pushes
the work toward the knives. After the cut is underway, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table as shown in
Fig. 64. The left hand should then be moved to the work on the outfeed table, at the same time maintaining flat contact
with the fence. The right hand presses the work forward, and before the right hand reaches the cutterhead, it should
be moved to the work on the outfeed table.
NEVER PASS HANDS DIRECTLY OVER THE CUTTERHEAD.
