4. Cut with the grain whenever possible (Fig. 14). Do not feed against the end

grain (Fig. 15), otherwise the workpiece may split and shatter. If the nature of

the workpiece requires you to joint against the grain, take extremely light cuts

and feed slowly. When using long work pieces, use extra supports at both

ends of the jointer.

BEVEL AND CHAMFER

The fence on the jointer is adjustable from 0° to 45°. Adjust the fence to the

desired angle and tighten the bevel handle.

Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board at an angle. Beveling may

require several passes due to the depth of the cut needed. See Fig. 16.

Chamfering refers to removing only the corner of the edge of a board. Nor-

mally a chamfer is made in one pass; so a 1/16-inch deep cut is made. See

Fig. 16.

ATTACH A VACUUM HOSE

A 2-1/2” (or 4” with the dust port adapter on JT833H) 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.

NOTE: Make sure the jointer and dust collection system are on separate elec-

trical circuits. This will prevent circuits from overloading.

1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and that the cord is unplugged

before attaching the vacuum hose.

2. Attach the dust collection hose to the dust port (Fig. 17 - 1).

3. Turn the dust collection system ON before starting the jointer. Periodically

replace and empty the bag in the collection system according to the manufac-

turer’s instructions.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch (Fig. 17 - 2) is located on the front of the jointer.

1. To turn the jointer ON, move the switch to the up position.

2. To turn the jointer OFF, move the switch to the down position.

3. Remove the yellow tab to engage the child-safety lock and prevent un-

wanted start-ups.
