INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS 
 

1. To raise or lower the infeed table, loosen table lock handle (A) Fig. 18, 
which is located at the rear of the infeed table and loosen locking handle 
(B) Fig. 19, which is located at the front of the infeed table. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Turn the infeed table adjustment handwheel

(C) Fig. 19. 

  
 
3. 

 IMPORTANT: 

When lowering the infeed table, a depth stop (D) Fig. 

19, will automatically stop the table at a 1/8

˝

 depth-of-cut. To move the 

table past this point, the depth stop (D) Fig. 20, must be raised, while 
simultaneously lowering the infeed table. Always make certain table 
locking handles (A) Fig. 18, and (B) Fig. 19, are tight before operating the 
jointer. The locking handles are springloaded and can be repositioned by 
pulling outward on the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut 
located underneath the handle. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. The depth-of-cut of the infeed table (position of the infeed table in   
relation to the cutting circle) is indicated on scale (E) Fig. 20. 

NOTE: 

Maximum depth-of-cut with this jointer is 1/2

˝

, which can be           

accomplished in cuts of 1/8

˝

 increments. 

 

 
INFEED TABLE POSITIVE STOPS 
 

Positive stops are provided to limit the height and depth of the infeed 
table. To adjust the positive stops:  
 
1. 

MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM 

THE POWER SOURCE.

 

 
2. Loosen two lock nuts (A) and (B) Fig. 21, and turn the adjustment 
screws (C) and (D), which are located at the rear of the infeed table, as 
required. A good suggestion is to set the upper positive stop (D) against 
stud (E) for your finish or final cut. This means that you will be able to 
rapidly set the infeed table for a finish or final cut without checking the 
scale and pointer. Also, the lower positive stop (C) can be set against stud 
(E) at the maximum depth of cut, if desired. 
 
3. Tighten locking nuts (A) and (B) Fig. 21, after adjustments are made.
