20 JX|8 Sheartec:II Jointer \ Operation

POSITION.

WARNING
Operation
1. Establish the proper depth of cut, ( 1/8” maximum ). However, 1/64” is the recommend cut for the best
finish with least chance of kick-back when jointing. Several shallow cuts generally provide a better
finish with safer operation than one deep cut.
NOTICE! The infeed table extension (Fig. 12) 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.
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.
