Infeed Table Depth Stop
Referring to Figure 26a:
The infeed table travel limiter located on the
back of the table sets the upper and lower
range for the infeed table height adjustment
and should not require any adjustments.
The infeed table depth stop (A) limits the
depth of a cut (set by adjusting the infeed
table handwheel) to a maximum depth of
1/8”. For normal operations, the depth of
cut should never exceed 1/8", except for
rabbeting operations.
If a rabbeting operation is desired:
1. Lower the infeed table to 1/8", which
will cause the depth stop limiter to
engage.
2. Loosen the lock handle (B) and pull out
on the stop handle (C).
3. Continue lowering the table to the
desired depth of cut.
Important: Never override the depth stop
limiter unless performing rabbeting
operations.
Gib Adjustment
After a period of use, the gibs may become
loose and need adjusting:
1. Loosen three lock nuts (A, Fig. 27) and
gib lock screw (B, Fig. 27)
2. Tighten each set screw 1/4 turn starting
at the bottom and working up. If a 1/4
turn does not remove all play, take
another 1/4 turn. Repeat a 1/4 turn at a
time for all three set screws until play is
removed.
3. Tighten lock screw (B, Fig. 27) and lock
nuts (A, Fig. 27).
Operation
Keep all guards in place
and in adjustment at all times during the
cutting procedure! Keep hands away
from the cutterhead! Do not pass hands
directly over the cutterhead! The use of
push sticks and/or handle pads are
highly recommended when using the
jointer! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
Jointing cuts or edge jointing are made to
square an edge of a workpiece. The
workpiece is positioned on the jointer with
the narrow edge of the workpiece on the
