Infeed Table Height/Depth of Cut Adjustment
Note:
The outfeed table is factory-set to the height of the cutterhead inserts and
unless it becomes misaligned, it requires no regular adjustments.
The infeed table height is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to set the depth
of cut. The depth of cut pointer (A) Fig.12 though not designed for precision
measurements, can be used as a reference.
Note:
The higher the table in relation to the cutterhead the shallower the cut. The
lower the table in relation to the cutterhead the deeper the cut.
To adjust infeed table height:
1) Loosen the infeed table lock knob (B) Fig.12.
2) Turn the depth of cut adjustment knob (C) in the required direction to raise or
lower the table height to the desired approximate depth of cut.
3) With infeed table at the correct height for the desired depth of cut retighten the
table height lock knob.
Re-set the Depth of Cut Pointer
The depth of cut indicator is designed to provide a non-precision reference. The
pointer is factory set to read 0 when the infeed table is at its highest point, level
with the top of the cutterhead. To re-set the pointer should it become misaligned:
1) Loosen the infeed table lock knob (B) Fig.12 and use the depth of cut
adjustment knob (C) to set the infeed table to its highest point, level with the top
of the cutterhead.
2) Place a straigt edge across the tables and cutterhead to validate the infeed
table is level with the cutterhead.
3) Using a hex. key, loosen the round head allen screws (A) Fig.13 which hold the
depth of cut pointer (B) to the cabinet, manually adjust the pointer to read 0 and
then retighten the screws (A).
Table extensions
The table extensions support long workpieces on the infeed and outfeed side, to
adjust:
1) Loosen the lock knob (A) Fig.14 at the back of the table and pull out the table
extension (B) as far as desired. Retighten lock knob. Repeat for the other end
of the table.
Basic Jointing Operations
WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, VERIFY ALL STEPS IN THE FOLLOWING
CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING JOINTING OPERATIONS
Checklist before beginning jointing operations
1) Make sure the cutterhead guard is working properly and snaps firmly back against the fence to cover the cutterhead and inserts.
2) Make sure the fence has been set to the desired position and is firmly locked in place.
3) Inspect all boards to be jointed for foreign objects, loose knots, or other potential hazards.
4) Put on safety glasses and wear hearing and respiratory protection at all times during jointing operations.
5) Inspect the power cord, plug, and switch for damage before plugging in and turning on the jointer - DO NOT OPERATE THE JOINTER WITH
A DAMAGED POWER CORD, PLUG, OR SWITCH.
6) Roll up long sleeves, tie back or secure long hair, and remove all jewelry or any other objects that have the potential to become caught in the
cutterhead or other moving parts, potentially causing serious personal injury.
