Initial Cleaning
The cast iron surfaces are covered with a special
protective coating to prevent rusting during shipping.
Remove this coating using a rag and solvent (mineral
spirits or paint thinner). Most of the coating can be
carefully scraped off with a putty knife before solvent
cleaning. Take care not to scratch the table when
scraping.
Jointer Assembly
Do not apply solvent to painted metal or plastic sur-
faces as this could damage these surfaces. Once the
protective coating has been removed, a surface pro-
tector such as paste wax should be applied to the table
for additional protection and to reduce friction between
the workpiece and table during operation.

Assembling the Stand
The J075 stand needs to be assembled, while the
J100 base does not. For J100 assembly, skip ahead to
the end of this section.
Do not fully tighten the stand’s bolts during assembly.
Bolts will be secured after the jointer is mounted and
pulleys aligned. Install rubber feet onto the bottom (end
without holes) of the stand legs (A), then attach cross
braces to each pair of legs (B) using short carriage
bolts, flat washers, and nuts.
Attach front and rear cross braces (C) using short car-
riage bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts.
Attach the upper side braces (F) using short carriage
bolts, flat washers, and hex nuts.
