VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Your jointer is supplied with variable speed control (A)
Fig. 23A that enables you to operate the machine at
cutterhead speeds between 6000 and 11,000 RPM.
Speed indicators of 1-2-3-4 and 5 are provided on the
speed dial. When the pointer (B) is pointing to 1, the
cutterhead speed will be 6000 RPM; 2 – 7250 RPM; 3 –
8800 RPM; 4 – 9750 RPM; and 5 – 11,000 RPM.
SPEED SELECTION CHART
Use the speed selection chart (Fig. 23) to determine the
proper setting for your workpiece.
NOTE:
For convenience, make a copy of this chart and
post it on or near the machine.

OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING JOINTER
1.
The on/off switch (A) Fig. 21 is located on the front of the jointer. To turn the machine
“ON”,
move switch (A) up
to the “ON” position.
2.
To turn the machine
“OFF”,
move the switch down to the “OFF” position.
MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER
CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE, MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION. AN ACCIDENTAL
START-UP CAN CAUSE INJURY.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent
unauthorized use.
To lock the switch, grasp the switch toggle (B) Fig. 22 and pull it out of the switch. With the switch
toggle (B) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the saw is
running, the machine can be turned
“OFF,”
but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle (B).
