ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
14
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. 10 - 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.

FEED A WORKPIECE
Feed rate refers to the rate at which wood is passed over the blades. An even feed rate produces a uniform finish.
1. Hold the work piece firmly down on the feed table and against the fence.
2. Feed the work piece at an even rate over the cutterhead. Any hesitation or stopping will cause a “step” to be cut
in the work piece. See Figs. 11 - 13 for different feeding methods.
3. As your trailing hand passes over the cutterhead, remove your leading hand and place behind your trailing hand
and repeat until the entire length of the workpiece has been cut. Use a push block (Fig. 13 - 1) to hold and feed the
workpiece when jointing wood that is narrower than 3 inches or thinner than 3 inches.

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.
