ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS ATTACH THE FENCE Fig. 2 1 1. Attach the fence support bracket (Fig. 2 - 1) to the jointer with four socket head bolts (Fig. 2 - 2) 2. Assemble the fence sliding bracket (Fig. 3 - 1) to the fence (Fig. 3 - 2).

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS WARNING! Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to these instructions. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. ADJUST THE DEPTH OF CUT The depth of cut is adjusted by the relative positioning of the infeed table with respect to the cutterhead. The infeed table (Fig. 6 - 1) can be raised or lowered using the infeed adjustment knob (Fig. 6 - 2).
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS MOVE THE FENCE Fig. 7 1. Before adjusting the fence’s position, make sure that the unit is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position. 2. Loosen the fence sliding handle (Fig. 7 - 1). 3. Slide the fence to the desired position. The fence can be positioned over the blade so that only the desired width of the blade is exposed. Make sure the exposed width matches that of the workpiece. 1 2 4. Tighten the fence sliding handle so that the fence is secure.
OPERATION FEED A WORKPIECE Feed rate refers to the rate at which wood is passed over the blades. An even feed rate produces a uniform finish. 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 cutterhead. Any hesitation or stopping will cause a “step” to be cut in the work piece. See Figs. 9 - 11 for different feeding methods. 3.
OPERATION ATTACH A VACUUM HOSE A 2-1/2” dust collection hose can be attached to the dust port underneath the outfeed table. The jointer will perform properly at all depths of cuts up to 1/8” when using a dust collection system.
