Beginning
Although the main components of the SHOP
FOX
®
W1684 are assembled at the factory, some
assembly is required. The following series of
instructions are the recommended sequence
best suited for final assembly.
Mounting Jointer
1.
Determine the best place for the jointer in
your shop. Get assistance lifting the cabinet
stand and place it in your desired location.
2.
With the help of a friend, lift the jointer
assembly onto the stand so the cutterhead
pulley is positioned directly over the slot in
the top of the stand.
3.
Align the mounting holes (
shown in Figure
10
) on the stand to the jointer assembly,
and secure the jointer assembly with the (3)

Secure table to stand at these locations.
Make sure that your
machine is unplugged
during all assembly pro-

is ignored, serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
1.
Figure 11
shows the jointer motor mount
bolts (accessible inside stand—picture shows
stand tipped upside down only for clarity).
Loosen the nuts so you can slide the motor
up and install the V-belt.
2.
With the V-belt in the grooves of both the
motor pulley and the cutterhead pulley,
pull the motor down tightly by hand and
tighten one corner bolt.
DO NOT over-tighten the belt!
Do not use
pry bars or any other device to force the
motor down as this may over-tighten the
belt, which may damage the balance of the
motor shaft or bearings and increase the
wear of the power transfer components.
