manual abstract
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin shaving to 1/8" deep. A dual English/Metric scale (A) Fig. 24, and pointer (B) are provided to indicate the depth of cut. To adjust for depth of cut, loosen lock knob (C) and turn adjusting knob (D) clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise the infeed table. After the infeed table is at the desired setting, tighten lock knob (C). NOTE: For best results, final positioning of the infeed table should always be made from the bottom to the up position. FENCE ADJUSTMENTS The fence can be moved across the table and can be tilted up to 45 degrees to the right, as follows: 1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock lever (A) Fig. 25, slide the fence to the desired position on the table and tighten lever (A). NOTE: Lock lever (A) is spring loaded and can be repositioned by pulling up on the lever and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the lever. 2. To tilt the fence, loosen lever (B) Fig. 25, and tilt the fence to the desired angle. Then tighten lever (B). NOTE: Lever (B) is spring loaded and can be repositioned by pulling out on the lever and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the lever. C A B Fig. 23 D C AB Fig. 24 A B Fig. 25 12 3. The fence features adjustable positive stops at the most used fence positions of 90 degrees and 45 degrees to the right. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: 4. Place a square (C) Fig. 26, on the table with one end of the square against the fence as shown. Adjust the fence until it is exactly 90 degrees to the table. C Fig. 26 5. Turn set screw (D) Fig. 27, until it contacts stop (E). D E Fig. 27 6. Using a square (C) Fig. 28, tilt the table to the 45 degree position and make sure the fence is 45 degrees to the table. Adjust the fence if necessary. C Fig. 28 7. Turn set screw (F) Fig. 29, until it contacts stop (G). 8. These positive stops enable you to rapidly position the table to the 90 and 45 degree settings. CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE FENCE IS IN LEVEL CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE OF THE OUTFEED TABLE.

DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND REMOVE CUTTERHEAD GUARD. 2. Rotate cutterhead and loosen four screws (A) Fig. 30. NOTE: Do not overly loosen the screws (A). Loosen one half turn or only enough so knife can slide between locking plate and cutterhead. 3. Rotate cutterhead and engage cutterhead lock (B) Fig. 31, on cutterhead shaft as shown. This will position knives for proper adjustment to the outfeed table. 4. Place a straight edge (C) Fig. 31, on the outfeed table extending out over the knife as shown. Using wrench (D) supplied, turn screw (E) until knife just touches straight edge. Adjust knife at far end of cutterhead in the same manner turning screw (F). Tighten four screws (A) Fig. 30, after adjustment is made. 5. Adjust remaining knife in the same manner and MAKE SURE CUTTERHEAD LOCK (B) IS DISENGAGED AFTER ADJUSTMENT IS COMPLETED AND REPLACE CUTTERHEAD GUARD. 6. The following are examples of what will happen if the knives are not adjusted properly. 7. If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 32, and the finished surface will be curved. KNIVES SET TOO LOW OUT-FEED TABLE IN-FEED TABLE CUTTER MATERIAL Fig. 32 14 8. If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 33. 9. As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches. The wood should rest firmly on both tables as shown in Fig. 34, with no open spaces under the finished cut. CHIP AND DUST CHUTE A chip and dust chute (A) Fig. 35, is provided on the outfeed end of the jointer base for efficient chip removal. CAUTION: KEEP HANDS OUT OF CHIP AND DUST CHUTE AT ALL TIMES. CORD STORAGE A cord storage bracket (A) Fig. 36, is provided on jointer base for storage of the cord when machine is not in use.

PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING MATERIAL At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand OUT-FEED pushes the work toward the knives. After the cut is un-TABLE IN-FEED TABLE derway, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table as shown in Fig. 38. The left hand should then be moved to the work on the outfeed table, at the same time CUTTER 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 Fig. 38 on the outfeed table. CAUTION: NEVER PASS HANDS DIRECTLY OVER THE CUTTERHEAD. 3/4" MINIMUM 10" MINIMUM MINIMUM JOINTING DIMENSIONS PUSH BLOCKS A set of pus...
