ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUST THE TABLE SUPPORTS

The 8” jointer, JT833H, is equipped with a extendable table sup-

ports (Fig. 6 - 1). To extend the supports, loosen the two knobs

(Fig. 6 - 2) on each side of the support bar and reposition the

support to the desired position. Once the support is in the de-

sired position, re-tighten the knobs underneath the table.

ADJUST AND LEVEL THE TABLE

The infeed and outfeed table have been pre-set at the factory to

be level and in line with the blades. However, if shipping or use

has caused the table to shift out of level, adjust the tables with

the following steps. Make sure that the unit is unplugged from

any power supply before adjusting the table.

NOTE: This procedure involves close proximity to the helical

blades. To avoid cuts, wear cut-proof or cut-resistant gloves

when performing maintenance work. Remove the gloves before

operating the jointer.

1. Set the depth of cut scale (Fig. 7 - 1) to “0” to bring the infeed

table to its most up most position.

2. Rotate the cutterhead such that some of the blades are at

their highest point. The cutterhead can be safety rotated using

the included 4 mm hex wrench at the front end of the cutterhead

under the blade guard ﬂange (Fig. 7 - 2).

3. Use a long metal straight edge to check the height of the

outfeed table. Place the straight edge over the outfeed table and

the cutterhead blades. Check that the blades barely touch the

straight edge at both the front and back of the cutterhead. You

will need to rotate the cutterhead to check both the front and

back alignment of the table.

4. If the blades do not touch the straight edge or drastically hit

the straight edge, the outfeed table will need to be adjusted.

a. Use the included 4 mm hex wrench to loosen and remove

the bolt (Fig. 8 - 1) countersunk in the table. Remove the

washer as well to access the slotted (Fig. 8 - 2) screw under-

neath.

b. Use a ﬂat head screwdriver to adjust the slotted screw. Turning the screw clockwise will lift the table up and

turning counterclockwise will lower the table. Adjustments to the screw should be minimal, with only a 1/20th

turn before rechecking the table’s position with the straight edge.

c. Once the table is level and at the correct height, reinstall the washer and bolt to secure the table.

5. Once the outfeed table is set at the correct height, follow the steps above to ensure that the infeed table is at the

correct height.
