Running and adjusting the jointer
Cleaning the jointer
The machine is shipped with non painted surfaces protected from rust by a film of
grease.
The grease must be removed with WD40 or similar as grease attracts saw dust and
dirt. The surfaces should then be coated with a Teflon lubricant or similar. Teflon
tends to dry and will not attract saw dust and dirt.

Now that the assembly is complete it is time to conduct a test run.
During the test run you will check the following points:
1.
