Setting Outfeed Table Height 4. Lock the outfeed table in position (see Figure 30). The outfeed table must be level with the knives when they are at top-dead-center. This adjustment has been made at the factory but should be checked again before operating your jointer. This adjustment will also have to be made any time you perform maintenance on the cutterhead or knives. To set the outfeed table height: 36. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead. 37.
Test Run 4. Remove switch disabling key (see Figure 31). Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly. If you find an unusual problem during the test run, immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the SERVICE section of this manual can help. Figure 31. Removing switch key from paddle switch.
OPERATIONS Overview Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur while operating this tool. Wear personal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards. This planer will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. To complete typical operation, operator does following: Loose hair/clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
Stock Inspection and Requirements • Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials. Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation. Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing.
Infeed Table Adjustment Proper infeed table adjustment must be made to safely and efficiently use the jointer. DO NOT set the infeed table depth greater than 1⁄8", unless rabbeting. Kickback can occur if excessive depth of cut is made. Limit a single pass to 1⁄8". Serious personal injury could occur in the event of a kickback. 2. Use the infeed table lever to raise or lower the infeed table (see Figure 36). 3.
Squaring Stock 3. Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below: 1. Edge Joint On The Jointer: The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer (see Figure 39). Surface Plane On The Jointer: The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer (see Figure 37). Figure 39. Edge joint on the jointer. 4. Figure 37. Surface plane on the jointer. 2.
Surface Planing 7. The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 41 & 42) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer. With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (see Figure 41).
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 43 & 44) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock. If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. To edge joint on the jointer: 1. Read and understand Safety, beginning on Page 7.
Bevel Cutting 7. The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figures 45 & 46). With a push block in your leading hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead. Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table.
Rabbet Cutting The purpose of rabbet cutting (see Figures 47–49) is to remove a section of the workpiece edge, as shown below. When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock. To rabbet cut on jointer: 1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements section). 2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for each pass.

Inspecting Knives The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspected with the knife setting jig. This inspection will ensure that the knives are set in the cutterhead as they should be. Usually this is done before calibrating the outfeed table or when troubleshooting. Setting Knives Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp.
*Note: If this is the first time you are setting the knives, remove the gib and knife from the cutterhead. Decide which adjustment option you are going to use between the jack screws and the springs. If you decide to use the jack screws, remove the springs from the cutterhead. If you decide to use the springs, you can just thread the jack screws completely into the cutterhead so they will not get lost. Replace the gib and knife. 6. 7.
Setting Fence Stops The fence stops are adjustable nuts and bolts that simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). To set the 90˚ fence stop: 1. Flip the 90˚ swing stop into the position shown in Figure 65. To set the 45˚ inward fence stop: 1. 90˚Swing Stop Using a 45˚ square, adjust the fence to the 45˚ inward position, as shown in Figure 63. Jam Nut 90˚ Fence Stop Bolt Figure 65. 90˚ swing stop engaged. 2. Figure 63. Adjusting fence 45˚ inward. 2.
Adjusting Gibs To set the 45˚ outward fence stop: 1. Flip the 90˚ swing stop out of the way as shown in Figure 67. Swing Stop The function of the table gibs is to eliminate excessive play in the table movement. The gibs also control how easy the tables move up and down. To adjust the table gibs, do these steps: 1. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the two outfeed table gib nuts on the side of the jointer base (Figure 69). Gib Nuts Figure 67.
