SAFETY GUIDELINES / DEFINITIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols to the right. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord. In the event of a power failure, move switch to the “OFF” position. 18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. 19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Move the transformer primary pigtail to the proper terminal corresponding to the new input voltage. 3. Change the leads in the motor junction box for the proper line voltage, as shown on the motor nameplate. 4. Change the heater elements in the overload block for the proper voltage/amperage, as shown on the motor nameplate. The correct heater elements can be identified by referring to the chart inside the motor starter box.

ASSEMBLY JOINTER TO STAND If you purchased your jointer complete with stand and electricals, factory mounted and wired, the stand is shipped with the motor and switch completely wired and assembled to the stand, as shown in Fig. 4. E The outfeed end of the jointer Fig. 4A must be pointing toward the end of the stand with dust chute (A) Fig. 4. C D A Fig. 4 Outfeed Table Infeed Table 1. Remove three screws (C) Fig. 4, and loosen three screws (D).
ASSEMBLING MOTOR PULLEY Assemble motor pulley (K) Fig. 7A, to motor shaft with the hub of the pulley in the outer position as shown. Make certain key (L) is inserted in the keyway of the pulley and motor shaft, then tighten set screw (M) using the 2.5 mm hex wrench (not shown). NOTE: THE KEY (P) FIG. 7, FOR THE MOTOR PULLEY, IS TAPED TO THE MOTOR HOUSING. P ASSEMBLING BELT AND ALIGNING PULLEYS Fig. 7A 1. Place belt (A) Fig. 8, in groove of cutterhead pulley (B) and motor pulley (C). M 2.
ASSEMBLING FENCE CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY B B 1. Remove the two M10x1.5x30mm hex socket head screws (A) Fig. 11, and 10mm flat washers from the back of the jointer base at location (C). C C 2. Align the two holes (B) Fig. 11, in the fence carriage assembly, with the two tapped holes (C) in the back of the jointer base. Insert the M10x1.5x30mm hex socket head screw with a 10mm flat washer, through the hole in the fence carriage assembly and thread the screw into the tapped hole in the back of the Jointer base.
ASSEMBLING RABBETING LEDGE B C 1. Remove the two M6x1x20mm socket head screws (C) Fig. 15 from hole location (B) in the front of the Jointer. 2. Align the two holes (A) Fig. 15, in the rabbeting ledge, with the two holes (B) in the front of the Jointer. Insert the screw through the hole (A) in the rabbeting ledge and thread the screw into the tapped hole (B) in the front of the Jointer. Make sure the rabbeting ledge is level with the infeed table. Tighten screw (C) securely.
INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS To raise or lower the infeed table (see Fig. 4A), loosen table lock handle (A) Fig. 19, and move the table raising and lowering hand lever (B) up or down until the table is at the desired position and tighten table lock handle (A). NOTE: The table lock handle (A) can be repositioned by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath the handle.
KNIFE ADJUSTMENTS In order to do accurate work, the knives must be exactly level with the outfeed table. To check and adjust, proceed as follows: C DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Loosen infeed table lock lever and lower infeed table as described under section “INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS”. Fig. 23 2. Remove cutterhead guard (C) Fig. 23. 3. Place a steel straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the cutterhead as shown in Fig. 24. 4. Carefully rotate the cutterhead by hand.
FENCE OPERATION A The fence can be moved across the table by loosening lock lever (A) Fig. 30, move the fence to the desired position, and tighten lock lever (A) securely. As the fence is moved across the table, the sliding portion of the fence bracket (F) guards the cutterhead in back of the fence as shown. F Fig. 30 B C D To tilt the fence to the right or left, loosen handle (B) Fig.
2. Using a square (D) Fig. 34, check to see if the fence is at 90 degrees to the table, as shown. 3. If the fence is not at 90 degrees to the table, loosen set screw (E) in the index collar (B), Fig. 33, and loosen the fence locking handle (C). Move the fence until you are certain it is at 90 degrees to the table and tighten locking handle (C) and set screw (E). D Fig. 34 F 4. Tilt the fence inward as far as possible and using a combination square (F) Fig.
REMOVING, REPLACING, AND RESETTING KNIVES If the knives are removed from the cutterhead for replacement or sharpening, care must be used in removing, replacing, and resetting them. B A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Move the fence to the rear and remove the cutterhead guard. B E E X T R E M E LY C A R E F U L T H AT YOUR HANDS DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE KNIVES. THE KNIVES ARE VERY SHARP. WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE KNIVES. Fig. 38 F E 2. Using wrench (A) Fig.
11. Lower the infeed table and place a straight edge (J) Fig. 42, on the outfeed table extending over the cutterhead as shown. J 12. 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. 42, 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.
JOINTING AN EDGE This is the most common operation for the jointer, these cuts are made to square an edge of a workpiece. Set the guide fence square with the table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Hold the best face of the piece firmly against the fence throughout the feed as shown in Fig. 44. MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 1/8" IN ONE PASS.
TAPER CUTS One of the most useful jointer operations is cutting an edge to a taper. This method can be used on a wide variety of work. Tapered legs of furniture are a common example. Instead of laying the piece on the infeed table, lower the forward end of the work onto the outfeed table. Do this very carefully, as the piece will span the knives, and they will take a “bite” from the work with a tendency to kick back unless the piece is firmly held. Now push the work forward as in ordinary jointing.
DIRECTION OF GRAIN Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain as shown in Fig. 51. The result will be chipped and splintered edges. Feed with the grain as shown in Fig. 52, to obtain a smooth surface. Fig. 51 Fig. 52 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS After considerable use, the knives will become dull and it will not be possible to do accurate work.
1/2" SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2" WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4" WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2" OR 3/4" WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MAT’L. TO BE CUT PUSH STICK Narrow pieces of stock that are close to 10 inch minimum length should be handled with a push stick and push block. The Fig. below is a pattern for a push stick.
