SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are 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.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out , which could lead to loss of control over the workpiece. 1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT! 2.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS General Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Stock Inspection & Requirements Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation. • DO NOT joint or surface plane “against” the grain direction.
• • • • Remove foreign objects from the stock. Make sure that any stock you process with the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may damage the jointer blades. Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials. Squaring Stock Squaring stock involves four steps that should be performed in the order below.
Surface Planing The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (Figure 24) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer. Figure 24. Illustration of surface planing results. 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. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (Figure 25) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in the squaring process of rough or warped stock. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions, beginning on page 22. 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Bevel Cutting 2. The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (Figure 26). Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions, beginning on page 22. 3. The Model G0526 has preset fence stops at 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Rabbet Cutting 4. Make sure your fence is moved forward, so the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your fence is set to 90˚ The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a section of the workpiece edge. When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock. See Figure 27. 5. Start the jointer. 6.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE Maintenance Safety General Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Regular periodic maintenance on the Model G0526 will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting the machine each time you use it. ! Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
V-Belts Lubrication To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear). Check the V-belt at least every 3 months; more often if the jointer is used daily. Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them. Table ways and the fence assembly should not be lubricated.

SECTION 8: SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS ! Always disconnect power to the machine before performing service adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. About Service Outfeed Table Height The outfeed table must be level with the carbide cutters when they are at top-dead-center. To set the outfeed table height: 1. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead.
Depth-Of-Cut Scale To set the depth-of-cut scale: Fence Stops The fence stops are adjustable nuts and bolts that simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). 1. Set the outfeed table height as described in the “Outfeed Table Height” sub-section. 2. Place a straightedge across the infeed and outfeed tables 1. Using a 45˚ square, adjust the fence to the 45˚ inward position. Adjust the infeed table until it is level with the outfeed table. 2.
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. 1. Using a sliding bevel adjusted to 135˚, adjust the fence to the 135˚ (45˚ outward) position. 2. Flip the 90˚ swing stop into the position shown in Figure 31. 2. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence stop bolt (Figure 32). Fence Stop Bolt Swing Stop Jam Nut Fence Stop Bolt Jam Nut Figure 31. 90˚ swing stop engaged. Figure 32. 45˚ outward fence stop jam nut. 3.
Adjusting Gibs Carbide Cutters The function of the table gibs is to eliminate excessive play in the table movement. The gibs also control how easy it will be to move the tables up and down. The cutterhead is equipped with 24 indexable carbide cutters. Each cutter can be rotated to reveal any one of its four cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90˚ to reveal a fresh cutting edge (Figure 34). To set the table gibs: 1.
