Unpacking This unit is shipped in two cartons. Open both cartons and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Jointer is assembled and running properly. Compare the contents of your cartons with the following parts list to make sure all parts are intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.
Assembly Unpacking and Cleanup 1. Carefully finish removing all contents from both shipping cartons. Compare contents of the shipping cartons with the list of contents above. Place parts on a protected surface. 2. Set packing material and shipping cartons to the side. Do not discard until machine has been set up and is running properly. 3. Clean all rust protected surfaces (bed, fence, etc.) with kerosene or diesel oil. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc.
Installing Fence to Bed Referring to Figure 3a: 1. Take the lock handle (E), flat washer (F), and lock nut (G) from the carton. 2. Place the fence assembly (A) onto the table (B). Be sure the key stock (D) on the bed lines up with the channel (C) in the fence casting. 3. Place the flat washer (F) on hole (H)*; insert the lock handle (E) through the fence casting and the table casting. 4. Thread the lock nut (G) onto the lock handle (E).
Installing Belt Guard Referring to Figure 6: 1. Place the belt guard (A) over the opening in the stand. 2. Line up the holes in the stand with the holes in the guard. 3. Attach the guard to the stand using four 1/4-20 x 1/2” pan head machine screws (B) and four 1/4” flat washers (C). Figure 6 Installing Cutterhead Guard 1. Remove the screw from the guard post. Referring to Figure 7: 2. Turn spring knob (B) approximately one and one half revolutions counter-clockwise (as viewed from the top) and hold. 3.
Electrical Grounding Instructions This jointer must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Recommended Extension Cord Gauges (AWG) Extension Cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Fence Stop Adjustments Periodically check the 90° and 45° backward (135°) tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist’s protractor. 90º Fence Adjustment Referring to Figure 13: The 90º stop is controlled by the stop bolt (E) and the stop plate (C). 1. Set the infeed table to approximately the same height as the outfeed table. Figure 13 2. Move the fence by releasing lock handle (D) and pushing the fence assembly until it overlaps the tables (B). 3.
Infeed Table Depth Stop Referring to Figure 17: 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 rabbetting 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.
Setting Cutterhead Knives (JJ-6CSX) Cutterhead knives are dangerously sharp! Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening or replacing knives into the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! 1. Carefully number each blade with a magic marker to make them easier to differentiate. 2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the cutterhead pulley and determine the 12 o'clock position of knife number one. The 12 o'clock position is the highest point a blade will reach in the cutting arc.
Replacing Knives (JJ-6CSX) Planer knives are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 1. Disconnect machine from the power source. 2. Remove blade guard by turning the knob (A, Fig. 23) clockwise while lifting up on blade guard. Blades are sharp! Use great care when hands are around blade area! 3. Loosen four screws (A, Fig. 24).
Outfeed Table Adjustment When you receive the jointer, the knives have been pre-set at the factory. However, the height and parallelism of the knives with the outfeed table should be checked, and any needed adjustments made, before putting the jointer into operation. Adjust the height of the outfeed table as follows: 1. Disconnect jointer from power source. 2. Carefully number each blade with a marker to make them easier to differentiate. 3.
Setting Cutterhead Knives (JJ-6CSDX) Note: Before setting knives for model JJ-6CSDX Jointer, the Outfeed Table Adjustment should be done to ensure the proper knife height in relation to the outfeed table. Knives for the JJ-6CSDX cutterhead are adjusted by means of a cam. It is important to note that the entire adjustment is accomplished within one complete rotation (360 degrees) of the cam. A full rotation of the cam will cause the knife blade to move a total of .015” from one extreme to the other.
Replacing Knives (JJ-6CSDX) Jointer knives are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, or replacing knives. To remove/replace a knife (Refer to Figure 29): 1. Remove four gib screws (A) with a 4mm hex wrench. 2. Remove the gib (B) and knife (C). If the knife is being reused (knives are doubleedged), clean the knife, gib and cutterhead of all pitch and debris. 3. Lay the new knife or unused edge of the old knife back onto the cutterhead (D). 4. Replace the gib (B) and screws (A).
Rotating and Replacing Knife Inserts (JJ-6HHDX) Knife inserts are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, or replacing knife inserts. The knife inserts on the model JJ-6HHDX Jointer are four-sided. When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re-install it. No further adjustment is necessary. Use the two provided star point screwdrivers to remove the knife insert screw.

Table Lock Knob Fence Tilt Lock Handle Belt Guard Fence Travel Lock Handle Depth Limiter Operation Important: Before operating the jointer, make sure all knives or knife inserts are seated and secure in the cutterhead.
Hand Placement Never pass hands directly over the cutterhead. At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion toward the cutterhead (Figure 34). After the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is transferred to the outfeed side and presses down on this part of the workpiece, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence.
Rabbeting A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a board. See Figure 37. The width and thickness of the wood to be rabbeted depends upon the width and length of the rabbet. However, never rabbet a piece of wood less than 12” long. Note: The knives must be extended beyond the cutterhead by 1/32”. See the Setting Knives for Rabbeting and Nicks section on page 20 for this procedure. A rabbet cut requires removal of the guard. Use extreme caution and keep hands clear of cutterhead.
Beveling To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required angle and run the work piece across the knives while keeping it firmly against the fence and tables. Several passes may be necessary to achieve the desired result. Although the fence may be tilted in or out for a bevel cut, it is recommended for safety reasons that the fence be tilted in toward the operator, making a cradled cut. Figure 39 Direction of Grain Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain.
Cutterhead Removal The entire cutterhead assembly may be removed for cleaning or for bearing and blade replacement. Some woodworkers keep a spare cutterhead with replacement blades should the original cutterhead have to be repaired. Blades in the cutterhead are sharp! Use extreme caution when handling the removal of the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! To remove the cutterhead (including bearings, studs, and housing) from the base casting: Referring to Figure 42: 1.
13. To re-install the cutterhead, reverse the above steps. Note: Make sure that the fence base casting is level with the Outfeed table when securing. Lubrication Use a good grade of light grease on the steel adjusting screws located in the raising and lowering mechanisms of the work tables. Occasionally, apply a few drops of light machine oil to the infeed/outfeed gibs. This permits the tables to slide freely. The cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime lubricated and need no further care.
Troubleshooting Operating Problems Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Finished stock is concave on back end. Knife is higher than outfeed table. Raise outfeed table until it aligns with tip of knife. See Outfeed Table Adjustment (page 18). Finished stock is concave on front end. Outfeed table is higher than knife. Lower outfeed table until it aligns with tip of knife. See Outfeed Table Adjustment (page 18). Cutting against the grain. Cut with the grain whenever possible. Sharpen or replace knives.
Troubleshooting Mechanical and Electrical Problems Trouble Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses. Probable Cause Remedy No incoming power. Verify unit is connected to power, onbutton is pushed in completely, and stop-button is disengaged. Building circuit breaker trips or fuse blows. Verify that jointer is on a circuit of correct size. If circuit size is correct, there is probably a loose electrical lead. Check amp setting on motor starter.
