OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF JOINTING
This jointer is designed to remove material from the bottom face of a board in order to bring one face of the board
(or a series of boards) perfectly flat
A
.
This perfectly flat face is then placed against the fence, set at 90º to the tables, to obtain a perfectly perpendicular
90º flat edge
B
.
This jointer is not intended (and should not be used) to joint any material other than solid wood.
CHECKING KNIVES
Accurate work results can only be achieved when all three
knives are properly installed and set to the exact same height
in the cutter head. To verify if the knives are set properly, use
the supplied knife setting gauge
A
following the steps below
for each of the three knives:
The knives have been factory set to the exact same height in the cutter head. However we suggest that you verify that
the knives are properly set prior to first use.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST-
MENTS. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1.
Make sure that the the machine is disconnected from the
power source.
2.
To give yourself unimpeded access to the cutter head
and knives, remove the cutter guard.
3.
Using the table height adjustment handwheels, lower the
tables enough to allow the knife setting gauge to fit fully
on the cutter head.
4.
Remove the fence to have access to the upper pulley
and turn it by hand to rotate the cutter head.
5.
Set the gauge onto the cutter head with the center refe-
rence pads of the gauge sitting directly above a knife.
6.
Observe how the gauge sits on the cutter head and
how/if the knife touches the center reference pads. The
ideal position has both sets of feet of the gauge sitting
flush on the cutter head and the knife barely touching the
center reference pads on the gauge
B
.
7.
Should any (or all) of the knives not be set properly, follow the instructions in section “Knife Setting or Replacement”,
on page 27.
