ADJUSTING THE GIBS
The table gibs allow you to eliminate excessive play when raising/lowering the tables and, when properly adjust-
ed, will allow for a smoother and easier table height adjustment.
1.
Loosen the three gib nuts at the back of the in-feed table
D
.
2.
Tighten all three gib set screws an equal amount then test raising/lowering the table. Continue to adjust the set
screws as needed until you find the right balance between easy movement and minimal play.
3.
Repeat these steps for the out-feed table gib nuts
E
, then verify and adjust (if necessary) the out-feed table
height following the instructions in section “Adjusting and Setting the Out-Feed Table Height” on page 19.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
To prolong the service life of your jointer and to maintain optimum performance the following basic maintenance
procedures should be practiced and become part of your shop routine.
•
Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the jointer with a damaged switch; replace
a damaged switch immediately.
•
Keep the machine as well as the in-feed out-feed tables clean and free of saw dust, woodchips, pitch or glue.
Vacuum or brush off any loose debris and wipe down the machine and the tables occasionally with a damp
rag.
•
An occasional light coating of paste wax can help protect the tables’ surface and reduce workpiece friction.
Ask your local distributor for suggestions on aftermarket surface cleaners, protectant and dry lubricants based
on what is readily available in your area.
•
Avoid using silicon based products that may affect or react with wood finishing products such as oil, solvent or
water-based stains, varnishes and lacquers.
•
Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric shock or fire, never
operate the planer with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the first
visible signs of damage.
•
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated and no further lubrication is required. The fence assembly
and table ways also should not be lubricated. If you should encounter a “sticking” problem, simply disassem-
ble and clear away any obstructions from the ways.
•
Regularly inspect jointed workpieces for signs of knife damage or wear and replace damaged or worn knives
immediately.
•
Inspect the belt regularly – To avoid potentially costly downtime, consider keeping a spare replacement belt
on hand for use if needed. Belts that show visible signs of wear such as cracks or fraying at the edges should
be replaced immediately.
