ADJUSTING
DEPTH-OF-CUT
The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin
shaving to 3/8 . If a cut deeper than 3/8
is desired, the
cut should be made in three or more passes.
1.
M A K E C E R TAIN T H E MACHINE IS DISCONNECT-
E D F R O M T H E P O W E R S O U R C E.
2.
To adjust the depth-of-cut, loosen lock knob (B) Fig.
32. Turn adjustment knob (A) counterclockwise to lower
the infeed table or clockwise to raise the infeed table.
The ring (C) Fig. 32, indicates the depth-of-cut on scale
(D). Tighten lock knob (B), after adjustment is made.
3.
To check if the ring (C) Fig. 32, is aligned correctly to
the depth-of-cut scale (D), place a straight edge on the
outfeed table and extend it over the infeed table as
shown in Fig. 33.
4.
Loosen locking knob (B) Fig. 34, and raise the infeed
table by turning adjustment knob (A) clockwise until the
infeed table touches the straight edge. The ring (C) Fig. 34,
should line up with zero on the depth-of-cut scale (D).
5.
If the ring on the adjustment knob does not line up
with zero on the depth-of-cut scale, make the following
adjustments
:
[a] Loosen set screw with wrench (E) inside adjust-
ment knob (A) Fig. 34, as shown.
[b] Turn knob (A) Fig. 34, clockwise or counterclock-
wise as necessary until the ring (C) lines up with
the depth-of-cut scale (D).
[c] Tighten set screw that was loosened inside
adjustment knob in STEP [a].
6.
IMPORTA N T:The jointer features an automatic
table stop (F) Fig. 35, which does not allow the infeed
table to be lowered by more than 1/8
increments. This
also acts as a safety feature should the operator fail to
lock the table after setting the depth-of-cut. If it is ever
necessary to lower the infeed table more than 1/8 , the
stop (F) must be pushed upward while adjusting the table
height.
