ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to these instructions.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
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.
6 - 1) can be raised or lowered using the infeed adjustment knob
(Fig. 6 - 2). Turning the knob counterclockwise will raise the
infeed table, causing less wood to be removed from the work-
piece, as seen on the depth of cut scale (Fig. 6 - 3). Turning the
hand wheel clockwise will lower the infeed table, causing more
wood to be removed from the workpiece. Always make sure that
the front lock knob (Fig. 6 - 4) is loosened before changing the
depth of cut and tightened after the desired change has been
made so that the depth of cut does not differ between cuts. Do
not make jointing cuts deeper than 1/8 of an inch.
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 rougher finish.
BEVEL THE FENCE
NOTE:
The fence can easily be set to 0° and 45° using the limit stops (Fig. 7 - 2) on the fence. However, it is always
advisable to check the angles with a piece of scrap wood before jointing your final workpiece. Adjust the set screws
that act as limit stops if they are not exact or have moved from shipping or use.
The fence can be positioned to joint the wood at any angle from 0° to 45°.
1. Before adjusting the fence’s angle, make sure that the unit is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion.
2. Turn the fence bevel handle counterclockwise to loosen it. If you find it necessary to reposition the handle in order
to loosen it, pull it outwards, turn the handle to the new position, and release it.
3. Manually tilt the fence to desired angle; use an angle gauge block (not included) to see the current angle.
4. Once the desired angle has been achieved, tighten the bevel handle.
