ELECTRICAL INFORMATION WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating.

OPERATION WARNING: Do not connect the jointer to the power source until all assembly steps have been completed. Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small amount of wood is removed from the edges and faces of boards to smooth and straighten surfaces. This way, the two edges from differing boards can fit together to form a perfect seamless joint.
OPERATION TESTING THE BLADE HEIGHT The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure proper operation and theoretically should require no adjustment. However, shipping and handling may have cause slight misalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades must be as high as the outfeed table when positioned at the highest point. CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and that the cord is unplugged before checking the blades. To check the blade height: 1. Block the blade guard (Fig.
OPERATION FEEDING WORK Feed rate refers to the rate at which wood is passed over the blades. An even feed produces a uniform finish. To feed the work piece: 1. Hold the work piece firmly down on the feed table and against the fence. 2. Feed the work piece at an even rate over the cutting head. Any hesitation or stopping will cause a “step” to be cut in the work piece. 3.
MAINTENANCE CHECK FOR WORN BLADES The condition of blades will affect the precision of the cuts. Observe the quality of the cut that the jointer produces to check the condition of the blades. Dull blades will tear, rather than sever wood fibers and produce fuzzy appearances. Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying density. Raised edges will also be produced where the blades have been nicked. Blades on this jointer should always replaced as a matched set.
