ADJUST THE DEPTH OF CUT
The depth of cut is adjusted by the relative positioning of the
infeed table with respect to the cutterhead. The infeed table (Fig.
15 - 1) can be raised or lowered using the infeed adjustment
knob (Fig. 15 - 2). Turning the knob clockwise will raise the
infeed table, causing less wood to be removed from the work-
piece. Turning the hand wheel counterclockwise will lower the
infeed table, causing more wood to be removed from the work-
piece. Do not make jointing cuts deeper than 1/8 of an inch. Use
the cutting depth display (Fig. 15 - 3) to see how deep of a cut
you are making.
BEVEL THE FENCE
The fence can be positioned to plain the wood at any angle from
0° to 45° outward.
1. Before adjusting the fence’s angle, make sure that the unit is
unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.

WARNING:
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according on the
instructions. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
TOOL PURPOSE
Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small amount of wood is removed from the edges and faces
of boards to smooth and straighten the surfaces. This allows the edges from two boards to fit together
to form a seamless joint. Of course, you probably already knew all that, otherwise why would you have
bought a jointer?
Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to
the opposite side of the board. Depth of cut is the term used to indicate how deep the blades will cut
into the workpiece.

NOTE:
As long as you have squared the machine (p. 11), then the fence can easily be set to 45
degrees using the limit stops. However, it is always advisable to check your angles with a piece of
scrap wood before jointing your final workpiece.
2. Turn the fence bevel handle (Fig. 16 - 1) counterclockwise to loosen it. If you find it necessary to
reposition the handle, pull it outwards, turn the handle to the new position, and release it.
3. Manually tilt the fence to desired angle; use the angle gauge (Fig. 16 - 2) to see the current angle.
4. Once the desired angle has been achieved, tighten the bevel handle (Fig. 16 - 1).
NOTE:
For a smooth finish, it is recommended to do multiple
passes at a lower depth. We recommend using a depth of
1/32". Always using a depth of 1/8" will shorten the lifespan
of your jointer and give you a less smooth finish.
