12
45° Fence Adjustment
Note
: Whenever making an adjustment to the
fence, lift the fence up slightly after releasing the
lock handle to avoid scratching the table.
1. Loosen lock handle (A, Fig. 16). Move the
stop plate (B, Fig. 16) out of the way and
position the fence at the 45
°
angle. Make
sure the fence sits against the stop bolt (C,
Fig. 16).
2. Place a combination square (D, Fig. 16) on
the fence and table to confirm a 45
°
setting.
3. To adjust, loosen lock nut (E, Fig. 16), turn
bolt (C, Fig. 16) until a 45
°
angle is
obtained, and tighten lock nut (E, Fig. 16).
Tighten lock handle (A, Fig. 16).
Leveling Outfeed Table to
Cutterhead Knives
Machine should be
disconnected from power source at this
time! Cutterhead blades are extremely sharp!
Use caution when hands are near the
cutterhead!
For most jointing operations, the surface of the
outfeed table must be level with the knife tips of
the cutterhead at their highest point of
revolution. The knife tips must project equally
from the cutterhead.
The outfeed table and cutterhead are adjusted
at the factory and should not require adjustment.
1. On the JJ-8CS Jointer, carefully number
each blade with a magic marker to make
them easier to differentiate.
2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the
cutterhead pulley and determine the 12
o’clock position of knife number one (or a
knife insert on the JJ-8HH model). The 12
o’clock position is the highest point a blade
will reach in the cutting arc.
3. Loosen table lock screw (A, Fig. 17) and
raise the outfeed table to the height of blade
number one by turning handwheel (B, Fig.
17). Counter-clockwise will cause the
outfeed table to raise. Clockwise will cause
the outfeed table to lower.Set a straight
edge (C, Fig. 17) on the outfeed table and
across the cutterhead.
4. Position of the table and straight edge
should look like Figure 18. Use care when
handling the straight edge near the blades
so as not to damage them.
