—If your outfeed table is correctly set, no
adjustments are necessary.
—If the insert lifts the straightedge off the
table or the table is below the straightedge,
loosen the outfeed table lock and outfeed
table positive stop bolts and jam nuts (see
Figure 1, Page 3) and adjust the outfeed
table height with the handwheel until the
straightedge just touches a insert at its
highest point of rotation.
Tip: Some advanced woodworkers have found
that they can virtually eliminate snipe by set-
ting the outfeed table in the following manner:
Repeat
Steps 1-4 using a freshly exposed
insert. Then lower the outfeed table slightly so
the insert lifts the straightedge off the table.
Place a ruler next to the straightedge and rotate
the cutterhead, watching how far the carbide
insert pulls the straightedge. Adjust the outfeed
table and recheck until the straightedge only
moves

table positive stop bolts, and re-install the
cutterhead guard and V-belt guards.

6. Verify proper operation of cutterhead guard
by moving fence to rear of table, then pull-
ing cutterhead guard back and letting it go. It
should spring back over cutterhead and con-
tact fence without dragging across outfeed
table.
— If cutterhead guard does not spring back
over cutterhead and contact fence, or it
drags across outfeed table, then it must
be adjusted (refer to
Checking/Adjusting
Cutterhead Guard on Page 41 for
instructions).
The cutterhead guard is a critical safety
feature of this jointer. You MUST verify its
operation before using the jointer! Failure
to properly install this guard will greatly
increase risk of serious personal injury.
