FIG. 1, A.
ASSEMBLY THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE 'OFF' POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE. LEG INSTALLATION To install the legs, the machine must be placed onto its side to gain access to the underside to secure the nuts and washers. The machine is heavy. Additional help, or a suitable lifting device or support, will be required for lifting the machine onto the stand once the legs are installed. FIG.
ASSEMBLY Installing the Infeed Table - Continued from page 9 3. Insert the bar through the table’s end hole and underside of the table. Then re-attach the Spring Washer and Collar onto the Bar to secure it in place. FIG. 7. 4. Hold the infeed table up to the machine while threading the depth of cut control bar into the Spacer Shaft (#137). FIG. 8. BAR 5.
ASSEMBLY THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE 'OFF' POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE. OUTFEED TABLE INSTALLATION 1. Position the outfeed table onto the left end of the machine frame. The two Setting Brackets (#158) fit over the pre-installed Pan Head, Location Screws (#160) on the frame for positioning, and then lock the table in place with the Levers (#233, 234). FIG. 12 & 13. LOCKING LEVERS 2. See page 12 for instructions on adjusting the table.
ADJUSTMENTS INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LINE The Infeed Table is pre-set at the factory to be aligned with the cutterhead. To ensure that both the infeed and outfeed jointer tables are aligned, check both table settings and adjust the outfeed table as necessary. DEPTH SCALE 1. The infeed table should be set to the upper line on the Depth Scale. There is a thin Line cut into the metal side of the infeed table for indicatting the table position with the cutterhead for regulating the depth of cut. FIG.
ADJUSTMENTS 4. Check the alignment of the tables with the straight edge on both front and rear sides of the of the tables. Make further adjustments with the guide screws as necessary, until the tables are parallel with each other. OUTFEED TABLE 5. To adjust the HEIGHT of the table, loosen the hex Bolts that fasten the Brackets (#158) to the side of the outfeed table. Carefully slide the table forward or backwards to change the table height. FIG. 19.
ADJUSTMENTS PLANER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Height adjustment of the planer’s table is made with the Handle (#130, FIG. 22, A). One full turn of the crank changes the height of the Planer’s Table (#142, B) by 1/8”. A - Clockwise Turning = raises the planer bed - Counter-Clockwise Turning = lowers the planer bed. The planing thickness is indicated on the Scale (#150, C). A maximum of 1/8” material can be removed in one pass through the planer. Do not exceed this depth of cut or damage to your machine may result.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE PLANER TABLE 1. The planer table is attached to the cabinet and move vertically by four Threaded Spindles, or posts (#131, FIG. 24, A). At the base of the spindles, there are positioning Plates (#141, B). Next to the spindle ends, there are four Set Screws (#140, C) that can be adjusted to slightly raise or lower an end of the planer table so that it will be parallel with the cutterhead. 2. Slightly loosen the four set screws at the corners of the base plate.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE CUTTERHEAD THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE. The Cutterhead that holds the knife inserts is fastened to the machine’s cabinet, and is not adjustable. Based on the postion of this main component of the machine, all of the other parts - rollers and tables - are then pre-set by the factory to align with the cutterhead.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING DRIVE BELTS The cutterhead drive belt and the feedgear drive belts need to be checked periodically and retightened if necessary. Belts will stretch with use, especially when they are new and are breaking in. Both drive belts are located behind the machine's front and rear covers. FIG. 30 & 31. To inspect, adjust or change the bdrive belts: A 1. Make sure that the planer/jointer's switch is turned off, and the plug is disconnected from the power source. 2.
OPERATION Before turning on the machine, review the safety precautions listed on pages 3 to 6. Make sure that you fully understand the features, adjustments and capabilities of the machine that are outlined throughout this manual. JOINTER OPERATION FIG. 33 The function of the jointer is to surface plane flat, one side or edge of a board/workpiece. To use the jointer: 1. The chip ejection hood should be positioned under the jointer’s outfeed table, inside of the planer’s cativy. 2.
Jointer Operation - Continued from page 18 OPERATION against the workpiece. Lock blade guard in place before starting the machine. Push the workpiece slowly and steady against cutterhead. Ensure that the fence is set at true 90° (or any other angle required (see page 13) and workpiece is kept flush against fence. 6. Turn the machine on and place the workpiece on the infeed table.
Planer Operation - Continued from page 19 OPERATION 3. Set planing thickness. Measure your board's thickness and set the planer to this measurement, or 1/16" under this figure. For the initial pass, you do not want to take off an excessive amount of stock (over 1/8"), or damage to the planer may result. Repeated passes through the planer will get you to your final desired board thickness. See page 14.
MAINTENANCE Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance. 1. Before each use: - Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage. - Check for any loose screws or hardware. - Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc.
