Turn the switch to “OFF” position and disconnect the
jointer from power source before any maintenance work.
REPLACE THE BLADES
• Pull open the blade guard (4) and block it in open position
with a piece of wood (3). Now the cutterhead (1) is fully
exposed.
• Use the enclosed 4mm hex wrench to loosen and
remove all blade lock screws (5).
• Remove blades (7) and blades clamp (2).
• Put together the blade clamp (2) and the new
replacement blade and replace them onto the
cutterhead (1).
• Loosely secure blade (7) and blade clamp (2) with blade
lock screws (5).
• Adjust the blade height before tighten the blade lock
screws (5) completely. Use a wood block to push down
the blade gently until the blade edge is slightly below the
straightedge (See Figure 11).
• Check and adjust blade height at both ends of the
blade.
• Tighten the blade lock screws (5).
• Recheck the blade height one more time. Adjust the
jack screws (6) on the cutterhead if necessary. Refer to
ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE CUTTERHEAD
BLADES
.
• Repeat the same procedure to replace the other blade.
• Return the blade guard (4) to its original position.
• Never mix new blade with old blade on the cutterhead.
Never mix blades with different degrees of wear. Never
use a blade where unbalanced wear from side to side
is present. Never use a blade that has been reground to
less than 13/16” wide.
SHARPENING BLADES
• The blades can be sharpened with a fine sharpening
stone.
• Protect the table top so the sharpening stone would not
scratch the table surface.
• Adjust the infeed table so the sharpening stone can
reach beveled edge of the blade.
• Gently grind the stone against the blade edge from side
to side until the blade is sharp again.
• Repeat the same procedure on each blade.
• If the blades can not be sharpened this way, they need
to be replaced or removed and reground. If a blade
becomes less than 13/16” wide after several grindings, it
has to be replaced.
• Never mix new blade with old blade on the cutterhead.
Never mix blades with different degrees of wear. Never
use a blade where unbalanced wear from side to side
is present. Never use a blade that has been reground to
less than 13/16” wide.
REPLACE THE FAN BELT
Turn the switch in “OFF” position and disconnect the
jointer from the power source.

ground. The switch panel is now facing up.
• Unscrew and remove the bottom cover (Key No. 113).
• Unscrew and remove the pulley cover (Key No. 102).
• Replace with only new fan belt (Key No. 80). Replace
the new fan belt over fan and drive pulleys (Key No.
79 and 81). Check that the fan belt sits securely in the
grooves of pulleys on both ends.
• Replace the pulley cover (Key No. 102), secure with
screws.
• Replace the bottom cover (Key No. 113), secure with
screws.
