START & STOP Buttons (Figure 21) START Button STOP Button Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
Stock Inspection and Requirements Fence Movement: The fence has a lock that keeps it in position (Figure 23). To move the fence, loosen the lock and slide the fence where needed. Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock: • Fence Lock Figure 23. Fence lock location. Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (Figure 24) secures the fence at any position in the available range. The plunger locks into an indexing ring to easily set the fence tilt to 90° after moving it.
• 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. • Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing.
Surface Planing To surface plane on the jointer: 1. The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 28 & 29) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6. 2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 22. NOTICE 3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
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 zero, 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 G0604 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.

Inspecting Knives The height of the knives can be inspected with a straightedge to ensure that they are set evenly with the outfeed table at their highest point in the cutterhead rotation. To inspect the knives: 1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE! 2. Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out of the way. 3. Using a straightedge on the outfeed table, check the height of each knife at the positions shown in Figure 46.
Knife Setting Jig Method: Both tables are lowered to fit the jig on the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 47, and the knife heights are set to just touch the middle pad of the jig. The knife setting jig makes it easy to ensure that the knives project out of the cutterhead evenly. After using the knife setting jig to set the knives, you have to re-adjust the outfeed table height to ensure that it is even with the knives at their highest point of rotation.
6. Remove and clean the gibs and clean inside the cutterhead slot to remove all pitch or sawdust. Coat the knives and gibs with a metal protectant (Page 28), then fit the gibs back in the cutterhead with the new knives. 7. Adjusting the knife heights: 8. Jack Screws: Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 49) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife.
Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism 4. 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 17mm ................................................... 1 Hex Wrench 8mm.............................................. 1 Hex Wrench 4mm.............................................. 1 Hex Wrench 3mm..............................................
Checking Infeed Table Adjusting Table Parallelism To check the infeed table parallelism: For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be parallel to the cutterhead. Adjusting them to be parallel is a task of precision and patience, and may take up to one hour to complete. Luckily, this is considered a permanent adjustment and should not need to be repeated for the life of the machine. 1.
Eccentric Bushing Figure 56. Eccentric bushing and set screw location. 3. Setting Outfeed Table Height Set Screw Location Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 53, and adjust the table by turning the eccentric bearings (a small hammer and punch or pin-type spanner wrench may be necessary), so that the straightedge touches the cutterhead while lying flat across the outfeed table.
5. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower the outfeed table until the straightedge is 0.062" (1⁄16") above the cutterhead body, as determined by using the feeler gauge or combination of feeler gauges (see Figure 57). �������������� ������������ ������������� ������������ Figure 57. Using feeler gauge to set outfeed table height. 6.
Calibrating Depth Scale The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct. Tools Needed Qty Straightedge ...................................................... 1 Phillips Screwdriver ........................................... 1 To calibrate the depth scale: 1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE! 2. Loosen the infeed table positive stop bolts. 3. Use the straightedge to help adjust the infeed table exactly even with the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 59.
To set the 90˚ fence stop: To set the 45° outward fence stop: 1. Loosen the set screw in the plunger lock collar, shown in Figure 63, and loosen the fence tilt lock. 1. Loosen the fence tilt lock, and position the fence against the 45° outward positive stop bolt. 2. Using a 90° square, adjust the fence to the 90° position, as shown in Figure 63. 2. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence positive stop bolt (Figure 64).
