Operation
CAUTION!
PLACE THE JOINTER ON A SECURE AND STABLE SURFACE FOR OPERATION. CLAMP OR BOLT THE JOINTER INTO
POSITION.
1. Establish the proper depth of cut. 1/64” is the recommended maximum cut for the best finish with least
chance of kick-back when jointing.
FIGURE 26: INFEED TABLE EXTENSION
NOTICE! The infeed table extension (Fig. 26) can be
extended for support of long material. Loosen the
two locking studs under the bed, pull extension out
and tighten the two locking studs.
2. Start dust collection.
3. Start jointer.
4. Feed stock into cutterhead, while maintaining contact of the stock on the bed and against the fence.
Maintain control and support of stock as the stock opens the guard and contacts the cutterhead.
Maintain a good, firm stance while pushing stock across the jointer. Move hands along stock when
feeding to maintain control of stock. Lift hands from stock as they come near cutterhead and reposition
them on outfeed side. DO NOT allow hands to come within three inches of the cutterhead.
WARNING
USE PUSH BLOCKS FOR FACE JOINTING! DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR CUTTERHEAD OR GUARD!
5. Reposition yourself to the outfeed side of jointer and control and support stock until it is past cutterhead
and the guard has fully closed.
