ADJUST THE DEPTH OF CUT
• This jointer can cut workpiece from very thin to 1/8”
deep. Do not attempt to cut more than 1/8” deep. For
hardwood, the recommended depth is 1/16” or less in
order to reduce the danger of Kickback.
• For deeper cut, lower the infeed table by turning the
hand knob counterclockwise.
• For thinner cut raise the infeed table by turning the hand
knob clockwise.
MEASURE THE DEPTH OF CUT
Rest a straight edge on the outfeed table and extend it
over the infeed table. The distance from the top of the
infeed table to the bottom of the straight edge is the depth
of cut.
CHECK THE BLADE GUARD
• Slide open the blade guard all the way. Then release it.
The guard should return to the original close position
automatically. If the blade guard does not move
appropriately, the spring may need adjustment or
replacement.
• The blade guard must be in place and function properly
at all time to provide adequate protection for both the
machine operators and the cutterhead assembly.
ON-OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF switch is located on the jointer base. To turn
the jointer ON, pull the switch to the up position. To turn
the sander OFF, push the switch to the down position.
NOTE:
When the machine is not in use, the switch should
be locked in the ”OFF” position to prevent unauthorized
use.
• To lock the machine, turn the switch to “OFF” position.
Pull the key out. The switch can’t be turned on without
the key.
• If the key is removed when the switch is at the “ON”
position, the switch can be turned off but cannot be
turned on again.
• To unlock, place the key into the slot on switch unit until
it snaps.
FEED DIRECTION
• The feed direction is important in operation of jointer
machine. Feed the workpiece in direction that the grain
pointing downward and toward the infeed table. This is
called “With The Grain”. With the gain produces a
smooth finish surface and is less likely to cause kick
back.
• Feeding the workpiece with the grain pointing toward
the outfeed table,“against the grain “, will increase the
incidence of kickback and rough on the wood surface,
Tear-Out.
