Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or degreaser shown in Figure 7. For thorough cleaning, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces.
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.
—If your outfeed table is correctly set, no adjustments are necessary. Bracket Battery Holder Thumb Knob —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 (Figure 1, Page 5) and adjust the outfeed table height with the handwheel until the straightedge just touches a insert at its highest point of rotation.
6. Press the STOP button to stop the machine.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety Basic Jointer Controls To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations. This section covers the basic controls used during routine operations. Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine.
Table Movement: To move the infeed or outfeed tables, loosen the table locks (Figure 17), move the tables with the infeed or outfeed handwheels (Figure 16), then tighten the table locks. Outfeed Handwheel Infeed Handwheel Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (Figure 19) 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 Sensor & Readout The digital readout is used in conjunction with the digital sensor to display the selected cutting depth. Before using the digital sensor and readout, verify calibration on the infeed table (Page 38), digital sensor, and digital readout (Page 39). Make sure the digital sensor is turned ON before using the digital readout, otherwise the readout will not work.

Stock Inspection & Requirements • Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates, drywall, metal, stone, tile, glass, plastic or other synthetically made materials. Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • Scrape all glue off of boards before jointing. • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains large or loose knots.
Squaring Stock 3. Edge Joint on the Jointer—The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer. Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below: 1. Surface Plane on the Jointer—The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer. 4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw—The jointed edge of the workpiece is placed against a table saw fence and the opposite edge cut off. 2.
Surface Planing The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 28 & 29). This is a necessary step when preparing a workpiece to be run through a planer when squaring stock. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. To surface plane on the jointer: 1.
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 30 & 31) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. To edge joint on the jointer: 1.
Bevel Cutting The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figures 32 & 33). The Model G0495X has preset fence stops at 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the fence can be locked anywhere between these angles. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to zero, and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below.
Rabbet Cutting The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a section of the workpiece edge (see Figures 34 & 35). When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock. NOTICE If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation. To rabbet cut on the jointer: 1.

Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism 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 . ................................. 1 Wrench or Socket 32mm.................................... 1 Adjustable Wrench 10"....................................... 1 Hex Wrench 4mm............................................... 1 Duct Tape................
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. 7aVX` A^cZh GZegZhZci HigV^\]iZY\Z Edh^i^dch [gdb DkZg]ZVY K^Zl 2. Raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead. 3. Loosen the infeed table jam nuts and positive stop bolts shown in Figure 48. Stop Bolts Jam Nut Jam Nut Figure 48. 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. 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 46 (rotate the cutterhead if necessary). Figure 52. Front eccentric bushings. 2.
8. Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 50, 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. We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to 1⁄ 32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1⁄ 8" for most operations.
Calibrating Digital Sensor & Readout The digital readout on the control panel displays the depth of cut using the sensor located on the back of the jointer. The sensor requires a 1.5V type 357/303 silver oxide button cell battery and the display requires two AAA batteries. The 1.5 V battery is preinstalled at the factory but the AAA battery must be installed (refer to Page 16, for installation instructions). To conserve the batteries, turn the displays OFF when not in use.
Setting Fence Stops 3. Using a 45˚ square, adjust the fence to the 45˚ inward position, as shown in Figure 62. 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. Using a 90˚ square, adjust the fence to the 90˚ position, as shown in Figure 64. 1. Using a sliding bevel adjusted to 135˚, adjust the fence to the 135˚ (45˚ outward) position, as shown in Figure 66. Figure 64. Adjusting fence to 90˚. 2. Figure 66. Adjusting fence 45˚ outward. Flip the 90˚ stop block into the position shown in Figure 65. 2. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence stop bolt (Figure 67).
V-Belt 5. 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. Consider replacing the stock belt with a Power Twist V-belt (see Page 29, Figure 36) to reduce vibration and noise, and increase belt lifespan. 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 69.
Pulley Alignment 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. Cutterhead Pulley !LIGNMENT 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. Tools Needed: Qty Wrench or Socket 17mm.................................... 1 To align the pulleys: 1.
