3.0 Safety warnings For your own safety, read this instruction manual before operating the tool. Wear Eye Protection 1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. 2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on. 3. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 4. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
18. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. 19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
5.0 Electrical connections 5.1 Grounding instructions 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. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
4. The planer/molder with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as illustrated by the grounded outlet box in Figure 3. No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug. Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle. Figure 2a Figure 2b Figure 3 6.

10.5 Knife adjustment 2. Measure the cut piece. 3. Adjust pointer accordingly. Any adjustment or replacement of knives must be done to all three knives at the same time. Failure to comply may result in an out-of-balance cutterhead which will lead to bearing failure. 10.3 Feed rate adjustment The planer/molder has two speeds that feed the work piece, at 10 feet per minute (FPM) for improved surface finish when molding and 20 FPM for faster planing. Use caution when placing hands near the cutterhead.
. Repeat steps five through eleven for blades two and three. 10.7 Adjusting infeed roller and outfeed rollers for planing 10.6 Knife replacement As a general rule of thumb, the infeed and outfeed rollers are set 1/8” below the cutterhead (not the knives) at the factory. To check the feed rollers: Use caution when placing hands near the cutterhead. Knives are extremely sharp. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 1. Disconnect (Unplug) machine from power 2.
7. Insert the block labeled “Feed Roller Planing” into the planer opening. adjustment allows without cutterhead and knives. 8. Raise or lower the feed roller until it rests on top of the block end to end. To adjust the feed roller (Fig 12): 11.0 Planing procedure • Loosen the jam nut on both sides of infeed roller with the wrench provided. the Never stand directly in front of or behind machine while planing or molding. Always stand to one side.
Wood warped lengthwise - Feed rollers will flatten a lengthwise warped board as if it were flat, but the board will spring back to its original shape once out of the planer. A lengthwise warped board must be jointed flat on one side on a jointer before being thickness planed. 3. Remove dust hood (B, Figure 14) and dust chute. 4. Loosen three wing nuts (C, Figure 14) and slide the curved infeed chip deflector (D, Figure 14) out of the way.
• Install special lock bar that is included with the knife set. Make sure set screws are loose to allow locking adjustment. Do not tighten at this time. • Install cutter. Make sure it is facing proper direction and is fully seated in the cutterhead. 8. Install molding cutter gauge with hex socket cap screw and tighten to hold in place. The guide may be attached to either side. See Figure 16. When using cutters larger than 2” wide, the feed rollers will have to be set 5/16” below the cutter head.
12.3 Making & installing a bedboard You must use a board over the planer/molder table when molding. This prevents the knives from hitting the table and allows the knives to cut into the guide boards to clean up the sides of the molding. 1. Disconnect (unplug). 2. Cut a piece of 3/4” particle board 12-7/8” wide and 31-1/4” long. Note: Board is 12” longer than the table to allow overhang (6” front and rear). This increases the work surfaces for longer pieces of wood stock. 3.
8. Position second guide rail on the table. Placement of this rail depends on the width of the board and if the board requires outer edge clean-up. Review molding procedure section for pre-sizing stock guidelines. When using knives that require outer edge clean-up, the workpiece will contact the guide rails only while wood is feeding into the cutterhead. After the workpiece passes the cutterhead, the outfeed roller will hold the workpiece in position. 9. Clamp or nail second guide rail. 10.
12. Run all stock to be molded through the machine at this time. Note: If you are molding several boards with the same profile and have to make several passes to complete the profile, you must run all boards through at each setting. This assures all stock will match the desired shape. This is especially important when splicing molded boards together such as crown molding or baseboards. 13.2 Back Relief Molding Back relief molding is used to create a better fit over irregular surfaces.
15.0 Troubleshooting the JPM-13CS 15.1 Mechanical and electrical problems Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Table difficult to adjust. Lack of lubrication on corner posts and screws. Lubricate corner posts and screws. Chain is jumping. Inadequate tension. Adjust chain tension. Sprockets misaligned. Align sprockets. Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses. Sprockets are worn. Replace sprockets. No incoming power. Verify power connections to planer.
15.2 Performance problems Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Snipe. Table rollers not set properly. Adjust rollers to proper height. Inadequate support of long boards. Support long boards with extension rollers. Uneven feed roller pressure front to back. Adjust feed roller pressure. Dull knives. Sharpen or replace knives. Lumber not butted properly. Butt end-to-end each piece of stock as they pass through. Planing wood with high moisture content. Remove moisture by drying, or use different stock.
