DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin
shaving to 1/8" deep. A dual English/Metric scale (A)
Fig. 24, and pointer (B) are provided to indicate the depth
of cut. To adjust for depth of cut, loosen lock knob (C)
and turn adjusting knob (D) clockwise to lower and coun-
terclockwise to raise the infeed table. Raising the infeed
table decreases the depth of cut, while lowering it will
increase the depth. After the infeed table is at the desired
setting, tighten lock knob (C). 

NOTE:

For best results, final positioning of the infeed

table should always be made from the bottom to the up
position.

FENCE ADJUSTMENTS

The fence can be moved across the table and can be
tilted up to 45 degrees, as follows:

1.

To move the fence across the table, loosen lock lever

(A) Fig. 25, slide the fence to the desired position on the
table and tighten lever (A).

NOTE:

Lock lever (A) is spring loaded and can be

repositioned by pulling up on the lever and repositioning
it on the nut located underneath the lever.

2.

To tilt the fence, loosen lever (B) Fig. 25, and tilt the

fence to the desired angle. Then tighten lever (B).

NOTE:

Lever (B) is spring loaded and can be

repositioned by pulling out on the lever and repositioning
it on the nut located underneath the lever.

3.

The fence features adjustable positive stops at the

most used fence positions of 90 degrees and 45 degrees
to the right. To check and adjust the positive stops,
proceed as follows:

4.

Place a square (C) Fig. 26, on the table with one end

of the square against the fence as shown. Adjust the
fence until it is exactly 90 degrees to the table.
