VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

Your jointer is supplied with variable speed control (A)

Fig. 23A that enables you to operate the machine at

cutterhead speeds between 6000 and 11,000 RPM.

Speed indicators of 1-2-3-4 and 5 are provided on

the speed dial. When the pointer on the speed knob is

pointing to 1, the cutterhead speed will be 6000 RPM;

2 – 7250 RPM; 3 – 8800 RPM; 4 – 9750 RPM; and 5

– 11,000 RPM.

SPEED SELECTION CHART

Use the speed selection chart (Fig. 23B) to determine

the proper setting for your workpiece.

NOTE: For convenience, make a copy of this chart and

post it on or near the machine.

OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING JOINTER

1. The on/off switch (A) Fig. 21 is located on the front of the jointer. To turn the machine "ON", move switch (A) up

to the "ON" position.

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

Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a

power failure, move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

LOCKING SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent

unauthorized use. To lock the machine, grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull it out of the switch (Fig. 21). With the switch

toggle (B) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the

6" Variable Speed

Bench Jointer

is running, the machine can be turned "OFF," but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch

toggle (B).
