SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material.
Additional Safety Instructions for Jointers Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Circuit Information Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Grounding Requirements This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SECTION 3: SETUP Needed for Setup This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire setup process! The following items are needed, but not included, for the setup/assembly of this machine. Description Qty • Safety Glasses (for each person)................ 1 • Straightedge 4' (or longer)........................... 1 • Dust Collection System...
Inventory B C The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store. NOTICE If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully check around/inside the machine and packaging materials.
Cleanup The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean. Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Moving & Placing Jointer The Model G0495X is a heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate. The Model G0495X requires the use of lifting equipment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane. DO NOT try to lift the machine by hand. To lift the jointer: 1. Unbolt the jointer from the pallet. 2.
Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0495X without an adequate dust collection system. This jointer creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness. Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector.
Digital Readout Batteries —If your outfeed table is correctly set, no adjustments are necessary. —If the insert lifts the straightedge off the table or the table is below the straightedge, loosen the outfeed table lock and outfeed table positive stop bolts and jam nuts (see Figure 1, Page 3) and adjust the outfeed table height with the handwheel until the straightedge just touches a insert at its highest point of rotation.
Test Run Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly. If you find an unusual problem during the test run, immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the SERVICE section of this manual can help. To test run the machine: 1.
5. —When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. —Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems. 6. Press the STOP button to stop the machine. 7. WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the START button. The machine should not start.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine. To reduce risk of eye injury from flying chips or lung damage from breathing dust, always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine. Basic Jointer Controls This section covers the basic controls used during routine operations. START Button: Starts motor only if the STOP button is popped out. STOP Button: Disables the START button.
Table Movement: To move the infeed or outfeed tables, loosen the table locks (see Figure 15), move the tables with the infeed or outfeed handwheels (see Figure 14), then tighten the table locks. Outfeed Handwheel Infeed Handwheel Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (see Figure 17) secures the fence at any position in the available range. The stop block locks the fence for 90° cuts. Two positive stops stop the fence at 45° inward and 45° outward for common bevel cuts.
Digital Readout ON/OFF and HOLD TO CAL: Push to turn digital readout ON and OFF. Push and hold 3–5 seconds to enter calibration mode. Push to reset display to 0.000 in incremental mode. Follow Step 2 in the previous example to reset display to 0.000 in absolute mode. To use calibration modes: MM/IN 1. Press ABS/INC button to enter absolute mode. 2. Raise or lower infeed table to desired cutting depth. 3. Press ABS/INC button to enter incremental mode. 4.
Stock Inspection & Requirements Follow these rules when choosing and jointing stock: • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains large or loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes dislodged during the cutting operation. • DO NOT joint or surface plane against the grain direction. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece.
Squaring Stock 2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer— Opposite face of workpiece is surface planed flat with a thickness planer. Squaring stock means making it flat and parallel along both length and width, and making the length and width perpendicular to one another. The purpose of squaring stock is to prepare it for accurate cuts and construction later on.
Surface Planing The purpose of surface planing (see example Figures below) on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock to prepare it for thickness planing on a planer. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding workpiece across tables as described. This will help you prepare for actual operations.
Edge Jointing Edge jointing (see example Figures below) produces a flat and true surface along the side of a workpiece by removing uneven areas. It is an essential step for squaring up warped or rough stock and when preparing a workpiece for joinery or finishing. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding workpiece across tables as described. This will help you prepare for actual operations. To edge joint on jointer: 1.
Bevel Cutting Bevel cuts (see example Figures below) can be made by setting the fence at the desired angle and feeding the workpiece firmly along the fence face, with the bottom inside corner firmly against the table. The cutting process typically requires multiple passes or cuts to bevel the entire edge of a workpiece. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding workpiece across tables as described. This will help you prepare for actual operations.
Rabbet Cutting A rabbet cut removes a portion of a workpiece edge, so it fits together with an opposing, equally sized rabbet cut on another workpiece (see example Figure below). This is a classic method of joining two workpieces that is simple, yet strong. To rabbet cut on jointer: 1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements section). 2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for each pass.
4. Set fence to 90° and near front of jointer, so amount of exposed cutterhead in front of fence matches size of desired rabbet. 5. Start jointer. 6. Place workpiece firmly against fence and infeed table. CAUTION: To ensure workpiece remains stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece must face toward table and fence. 7. When cutterhead guard is removed, attempting any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes operator to moving cutterhead.
ACCESSORIES SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage.

Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism 5. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, then lower the outfeed table until the straightedge just touches the cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 34 (rotate the cutterhead if necessary). If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results and kickback can occur. Tools Needed Qty Straightedge....................................................... 1 Wrench or Socket 12mm . ...................
Checking Infeed Table 1. Follow all the steps for checking the outfeed table parallelism to first make sure that the outfeed table is parallel with the cutterhead. 2. Raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead. 3. Loosen the infeed table jam nuts and positive stop bolts shown in Figure 36. Stop Bolts Jam Nut Jam Nut Figure 36. Infeed table positive stop bolts. 4.
IMPORTANT: The steps below are intended to be performed in succession with the steps involved in checking the outfeed table. Do not continue until you have followed those steps. To adjust the table parallelism: 1. 2. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, then lower the outfeed table until the straightedge just touches the cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 34 (rotate the cutterhead if necessary). Figure 40. Front eccentric bushings.
8. 9. Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 38, and adjust the eccentric bushings under the infeed table so the straightedge lies flat against both tables. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as many times as necessary until the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table. In addition, each insert has a reference dot on one corner.
Setting Infeed Table The infeed table on the Model G0495X has positive stop bolts that, when properly set up, allow the operator to quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/final cuts and shaping/heavy cuts. Calibrating Infeed Table The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct. We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to 1⁄ 32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1⁄ 8" for most operations.
Cutterhead Guard The cutterhead guard comes pre-installed for shipping, but it may need to be adjusted if the guard does not quickly snap back against the fence when pulled out and let go. To adjust the cutterhead guard: 1. Loosen the shaft lock (see Figure 46) and remove the cutterhead guard. 2. Wind the tang on the torsion spring clockwise a quarter turn, and slide the guard shaft into the casting so the spring tang points toward the main table but does not overlap it, as shown in Figure 46. 3.
Setting Fence Stops 3. Using a 45˚ square, adjust the fence to the 45˚ inward position, as shown in Figure 48. The fence stops simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). Tools Needed Qty 45° Square......................................................... 1 90° Square......................................................... 1 Sliding Bevel....................................................... 1 Wrench 12mm....................................................
To set the 90˚ fence stop: To set the 45˚ outward fence stop: 1. 1. Using a 90˚ square, adjust the fence to the 90˚ position, as shown in Figure 50. Figure 50. Adjusting fence to 90˚. 2. Flip the 90˚ stop block into the position shown in Figure 51. Using a sliding bevel adjusted to 135˚, adjust the fence to the 135˚ (45˚ outward) position, as shown in Figure 52. Figure 52. Adjusting fence 45˚ outward. 2. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence stop bolt (see Figure 53).
Adjusting/Replacing V-Belt 4. Lift the motor up, slide the V-belt off of the motor and cutterhead pulleys, and replace it with a new one. 5. Lower the motor and adjust the V-belt tension with the tension rod fasteners so there is approximately 1/2" deflection when the belt is pushed with moderate pressure, as shown in Figure 55. V-belt removal and replacement involves removing the V-belt, rolling it off of the pulleys, replacing it with a new belt, then retensioning it. To adjust/replace the V-belt: 1.
Pulley Alignment Cutterhead Pulley Pulley alignment is another important factor in power transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel to each other and in the same plane (coplaner) for optimum performance. Alignment Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor mount fasteners, sliding the motor in or out, and retightening the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place. Motor Pulley Tools Needed: Qty Wrench or Socket 17mm.................................... 1 Figure 57.
