2. Tighten the lock handle (A).
3. Place an angle measuring device on the
table and against the fence to confirm a
135º setting (A. Fig. 8-6).
4. To adjust, loosen the lock nut (F), turn the
stop bolt (E) until a 135º angle is obtained.
5. Tighten the lock nut (F).

8.4 Infeed table depth stop
Referring to Figure 8-7:
The infeed table depth stop (A) limits the depth
of a cut (set by adjusting the infeed table
handwheel) to a maximum depth of 1/8”. For
normal operations, the depth of cut should never
exceed 1/8", except for rabbetting operations.
If a rabbeting operation is desired:
1. Lower the infeed table to 1/8", which will
cause the depth stop limiter to engage.
2. Loosen the lock handle (B) and pull out on
the stop handle (C).
3. Continue lowering the table to the desired
depth of cut.
Important: Never override the depth stop limiter
unless performing rabbeting operations.

8.5 Gib adjustment
After a period of use, the gibs may become
loose and need adjusting.
To adjust (refer to Figure 8-8):
1. Loosen setscrew locknuts (A) and wing
screws (B).
Note: The infeed table has three gib
adjustment screws A (Infeed). The outfeed
table has two gib adjustment screws
A (Outfeed) and two gib lock wing screws
(B).
2. Tighten each setscrew 1/4 turn starting at
the bottom and working up. If a 1/4 turn
does not remove all play, take another 1/4
turn. Repeat a 1/4 turn at a time for all three
(or two) set screws until play is removed.
3. Tighten wing screws (B) and lock nuts (A).
Important: If gibs are adjusted, also perform the
Outfeed Table Adjustment to ensure the proper
knife height in relation to the outfeed table.

8.6 Outfeed table adjustment
When you receive the jointer, the knives have
been pre-set at the factory. However, the height
and parallelism of the knives with the outfeed
table should be checked, and any needed
adjustments made, before putting the jointer into
operation.
Adjust the height of the outfeed table as follows:
1. Disconnect jointer from power source.
2. Carefully number each blade with a marker
to make them easier to differentiate.
3. Place a straightedge upon the outfeed table
and extend it over the cutterhead (Figures 8-
9 and 8-10).
Jointer knives are
dangerously sharp. Do not
grab the cutterhead itself to rotate it. Failure
to comply may cause serious injury.
