Align the slot on the handwheels with the spring pin on
the shaft, and slide the handwheel onto the shaft (A).

Installing the Cutter Head Guard
Remove the set screw from the guard shaft, then turn
the tension knob clockwise (A), and insert the guard
shaft (B) while holding tension on the knob. Re-install
the set screw once the guard is in place.
Adjusting Guard Tension
The guard should snap back towards the fence firmly
when released. If the guard does not snap back into
place or does so slowly, remove the guard assembly,
and turn the tension knob another 1/2 turn before re-
installing the guard. Several adjustments may be neces-
sary.
Guard tension is maintained by a spring loaded knob
underneath the rabbeting arm which causes the guard
to snap back into place over the cutter once the work-
piece has been pushed through.

Adjusting Outfeed Table Height
Always unplug the jointer before adjusting the tables,
and remove the cutter guard and fence. Then, lay a
straightedge across the outfeed table and cutter head
(A) but do not extend it over the infeed table.
Adjusting Table Height
It is essential to always use a proper dust collection sys-
tem when operating the jointer. There is a 4" dust outlet
located on the stand for connection to a dust collector
(A).
Dust Collector Connection
To clean out dust trapped inside the cabinet (J100),
open the door and vacuum out the inside of the cabinet.
The outfeed table height should be adjusted before
initial operation, and the table set level with the highest
point of the knives. Check and re-adjust the table height
periodically and whenever knives are replaced.
Turn the upper pulley by hand until one of the knives
is at its highest point. The knife should just touch the
straightedge as it rotates past.
