ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
MOVE THE FENCE
1. Before adjusting the fence’s position, make sure that the unit is un-
plugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Loosen the fence sliding handle (Fig. 7 - 1).
3. Slide the fence to the desired position. The fence can be positioned
over the blade so that only the desired width of the blade is exposed.
Make sure the exposed width matches that of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the fence sliding handle so that the fence is secure.

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
Jointers are a precision woodworking machine and should be used on quality lumber only. Do not join dirty boards;
dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear out the blades.
For proper operation, attach a dust collection system to the dust port, on the left of the jointer. Attaching a dust col-
lection system is very important when taking deeper cuts to prevent wood chips clogging the unit.
Remove nails and staples. Only use the jointer to cut wood. Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes knots
hard. Knots can come loose and jam blades.
Assess the value of badly warped boards. You may be tempted to take a deep cut to square the boards quickly, when
a better approach is to use several passes with a shallower cut.

INSTALL THE CUTTERHEAD LOCK
1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the jointer is un-
plugged.
2. Use a hex wrench to loosen the two screws holding the blade guard
mounting bracket (Fig. 8 - 1). Then remove the blade guard assembly.
3. Remove the bottom screw from the bearing holder assembly (Fig.
8 - 2). Then install the cutterhead lock (Fig. 8 - 3).
4. Reinstall the blade guard assembly.
5. The cutterhead lock is shown in figure 8, engaged with the cutter-
head.
MAKE SURE THE CUTTERHEAD LOCK IS DISENGAGED FROM
THE CUTTERHEAD BEFORE JOINTING ANY WORKPIECES.
The
ONLY
time the cutterhead lock should be engaged is when adjusting or chang-
ing blades.
