These alignments are explained below.
Disconnect machine from power source before making any adjustments. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
Coplanar Alignment
Definition of coplanar
When the infeed table is set to the same level as the outfeed table and together both tables form
a "perfect" flat surface, the tables are said to be coplanar.
For optimum performance of the jointer, the infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar. If they
are not, the finished workpiece may have a slight taper or twist across jointed its width or length.
Determining if tables are coplanar
The tables have been set coplanar at the factory, but they should be double-checked by the
operator. Also, as the machine undergoes use, the
tables should be checked occasionally and adjusted if necessary.
The procedure described below uses a steel straight edge to set the tables, which should be
accurate enough for most purposes.
Important:
The tables must be locked in position when performing the following test.
Referring to Figures 8 and 9:
1. Disconnect jointer from power
source.
2. Loosen the lock knob (A) and slide
the cutterhead guard (B, C) to clear the
table.
3. Slide the fence assembly back (H, E)
as far as it will go, or remove it from the
machine entirely.
4. Rotate the cutterhead to avoid knife
interference.
5. Place a straight edge (D) across the
front of the outfeed table (F) and
extending over the infeed table (G).
Note the position of the infeed table (G).
Note the position of the straight edge in
Figure 6 with respect to the fence (H).
6. Raise the infeed table (G) until it
contacts the straight edge (D).
The straight edge should lie level across
both tables. Move the straight edge to
the back of the outfeed table as shown
in Figure 7 and perform the same test.
If the straight edge does not lie level,
the front or back of one of the tables
must be adjusted to make the tables
coplanar. Proceed as described in
