OPERATION
FEEDING THE WORKPIECE
Place the workpiece on top of the right, infeed table.
The workpiece will be cut on its underside by the
rotating cutterhead knives. When jointing, the feeding
direction of the workpiece is right-to-left over the
cutterhead. FIG. 14.
1. Assume the proper operating position: stand to the
side of the infeed table with feet apart for stability
through the whole cutting process. FIG. 14.
2. Set the jointer fence position and angle as
required.
3. Set the depth of cut / thickness (See below).
4. Place the workpiece against the jointer fence for
support through the cutting action. FIG. 15.
5. Make sure that the cutterhead guard is against the
workpiece for user protection.
NOTE:
For jointing the edge of a board, set the
workpiece against the fence. The spring action blade
guard should be touching the workpiece, covering the
cutterhead knives. Push the workpiece slowly and
steady over the cutterhead. Ensure that the fence is
set at true 90° (or any other angle required (see page
10) and the workpiece is kept flush against the fence.
For planing the face of a board or workpiece, follow
the same procedure as above.
6. Turn the machine on and place the workpiece
on the infeed table. Feed the workpiece toward the
cutterhead, FIG. 16, exerting downward pressure until
the workpiece clears the cutterhead on the outfeed
table side. Always keep your hands away from the
cutterhead to avoid any accidents.
NOTE: The use of push blocks is recommended.
Run boards at different positions along the width of
the cutterhead to utilize the full length of the cutting
knives. Jointing in one area of the cutterhead, will
quickly dull the knives in that area.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very
thin shaving to 1/8” deep. The pointer (A) on the scale
(B) is to indicate the depth of cut. To adjust the depth
of cut, loosen lock knob (C) and turn adjusting knob
(D) clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise
the infeed table until the infeed table is at the desired
position, then tighten the lock knob (C). FIG. 17.
