SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Pg.6
Operating a power tool can be dangerous if safety and common
sense are ignored. The operator must be familiar with the
operation of this machine. Read this manual to understand this
machine. DO NOT OPERATE this machine IF YOU DO NOT
FULLY UNDERSTAND the limitations of this tool. DO NOT
MODIFY this machine in any way.
BEFORE USING
THIS MACHINE
!
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow
all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the
machine.
!
1. SOME DUST CREATED BY USING
POWER TOOLS CONTAINS CHEMICALS known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
2. READ this entire manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its
intended applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a
3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical
receptacle. The third prong is used to ground the tool and
provide protection against accidental electric shock.
4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Do
not use electrical tools in a damp environment or expose
them to rain.
5. DO NOT USE electrical tools in the presence of
FLAMMABLE liquids or gases.
6. ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA CLEAN, well lit, and
organized. Do not work in an environment with oor
surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. Do not permit
people to be in the immediate work area, especially when
the electrical tool is operating.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for
which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher
quality job by only performing operations for which the tool
was intended.
9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery.
These items can get caught in the machine during
operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. The
user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if hair is
long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.
10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing
switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles,
and using padlocks.
GENERAL SAFETY

Pg.7
1. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE
when making adjustments, changing parts or performing
any maintenance.
2. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN
WORKING ORDER.
3. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the
power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in
the power cord to the electrical receptacle.
4. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the
immediate area prior to turning “ON”
the machine.
5. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of
incorrect or improper accessories could cause serious
injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool. If in
doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that
particular accessory.
6. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn
the power switch to the “OFF” position. Do not leave the
tool until it has come to a complete stop.
7. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result
if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the tool.
8. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ABOVE OR NEAR the tool
where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.
9. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. Do not extend yourself
over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep
oor clear of debris, grease, and wax.
10. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean
and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits
sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive
accessories when worn.
11. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED
PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check
all guards to see that they operate properly, are not
damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for
alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired
or replaced.
12. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR
ALCOHOL.
13. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the
work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work
piece with
your hands.
14. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER
TOOL. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
15. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT
INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and
body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust extraction
system wherever possible. Exposure to dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death. Avoid breathing dust, and avoid prolonged contact
with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes,
or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material. Always use properly tting AS/NZS approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure,
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
16. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. Use of extension cords should be avoided
where possible. When using an extension cord, be sure
to have a cord heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw, and with compatible pin conguration
and connections. NEVER use an extension cord rated
at less than your machine. Longer run extensions will
need heavier duty extension cords. Only connect your
extension cord or machine to a receptacle that accepts
your plug and never modify your plug to suit a receptacle.
GENERAL SAFETY

-10- Model G0834 (Mfd. Since 12/17)
Additional Safety for Jointers
KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected
from machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback
injuries occur from getting struck by workpiece or
hands being pulled into cutterhead. To reduce the
risk of kickback, only use proper workpieces, safe
feeding techniques, and proper machine setup or
maintenance.
GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without
guards unnecessarily exposes operator to knives/
inserts and other hazardous moving parts. Except
when rabbeting, never operate jointer or allow it to
be connected to power if any guards are removed.
Turn jointer OFF and disconnect power before
clearing any shavings or sawdust from around cut-
terhead. After rabbeting or maintenance is com-
plete, immediately replace all guards and ensure
they are properly installed/adjusted before resum-
ing regular operations.
DULL OR DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull or
damaged knives/inserts increase risk of kickback
and cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp,
undamaged knives/inserts.
OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed
table too high can cause workpiece to hit table or
get stuck while feeding. Setting outfeed table too
low may cause workpiece to rock or shift while
feeding. Both of these results will increase risk
of kickback. Always keep outfeed table even with
knives/inserts at highest point during rotation.
INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or kick-
back may result from using improper workpieces.
Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before
cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples,
loose knots or other foreign material. Warped
workpieces must be surface planed first with
cupped side facing down.
MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of
kickback, never cut deeper than 1⁄8" per pass.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain
or end grain can increase risk of kickback. It also
requires more cutting force, which produceschat-
ter or excessive chip out. Always joint or surface
plane WITH the grain.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting workpieces that
do not meet minimum dimension requirements can
result in kickback or accidental contact with cutter-
head. Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting
cuts on pieces smaller than 14" long, 3⁄4" wide, or
1⁄2" thick.
PUSH BLOCKS. Push blocks reduce risk of acci-
dental cutterhead contact with hands. Always use
push blocks when planing materials less than 3"
high or wide. Never pass your hands directly over
cutterhead without a push block.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Poor workpiece sup-
port or loss of workpiece control while feeding will
increase risk of kickback or accidental contact
with cutterhead. Support workpiece with fence
continuously during operation. Support long stock
with auxiliary tables if necessary.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or
accidental cutterhead contact may result if work-
piece is fed into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow
cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding.
Never start jointer with workpiece touching cutter-
head. Always feed workpiece from infeed side to
outfeed side without stopping until cut is complete.
Never move workpiece backwards while feeding.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can be thrown from cutter-
head with dangerous force. Always verify knives/
inserts are secure and properly adjusted before
operation. Straight knives should never project
more than 1⁄8"(0.125") from cutterhead body.
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead
or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause blindness or eye
injuries. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator
or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards,
operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

Pg.9
FIG. BFIG. A
!
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock. IN THE EVENT OF A
MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the
path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. This tool may be equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug MUST Be plugged into a matching electrical
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not t the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a
qualied electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong
grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
tool’s plug. Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Power tools and machinery are intended for use on a circuit that
has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A that shows
a 10 Amp 3-wire electrical plug and corresponding electrical
receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If this particular tool has been designed and tted with a two
prong electrical plug, ensure it displays the ‘Double Insulated’
logo shown in FIGURE B, before connecting to a 3- wire
receptacle.
!
Never modify the standard tted electrical plugs to t your
receptacle.

T23692—Orange Power Degreaser
A great product for removing the waxy ship-
ping grease from the non-painted parts of the
machine during clean up.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using t he se produ ct s
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.
NOTICE
Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted sur-
faces. Always test on a small, inconspicu-
ous location first.

Moving & Placing
Jointer
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
3. Attach lifting slings to infeed and outfeed
tables, as shown in Figure 13. Position slings
as close to base as possible and tighten table
locks to prevent damaging tables.
To move and place jointer:
1. Move jointer near its prepared location while
still inside shipping crate.
2. Remove top and sides of shipping crate, then
place small items aside in safe location.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging control
panel pedestal, secure it in upright position
prior to moving and placing jointer (refer
to Step 1 in Assembly on Page 18 for
instructions).
NOTICE
Make sure lifting straps do not touch
control panel pedestal in next step.
DO NOT attempt to lift or move jointer without
using proper lifting equipment (such as forklift
or crane) or necessary assistance from other
people. Each piece of lifting equipment must be
rated for at least 1500 lbs. to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting.
Review the Power Supply section beginning on
Page 11, then prepare permanent location for the
jointer.
IMPORTANT: Make sure prepared location is
clean and level.

IMPORTANT: Before jointer was shipped
from factory, infeed table was fully raised and
stop bolt was threaded up against bottom of
it to safely secure it during transit. You MUST
adjust position of infeed stop bolt before
attempting to lower infeed table.
8. Loosen jam nut (see Figure 14) on infeed
stop bolt, then unthread stop bolt until table
can be lowered to 1⁄8" on depth-of-cut scale,
then adjust infeed stop bolt back against
infeed table casting and tighten jam nut.
NOTICE
NEVER force table handwheels if you feel
resistance. Check positions of stop bolts or
for obstructions.

infeed table at 1⁄8" maximum depth of cut.
Stop Bolt
Jam Nut To assemble jointer:
1. Secure control panel pedestal to jointer with
(4) M10-1.5 x 30 cap screws, (4) 10mm lock
washers, and (4) 10mm flat washers, as
shown in Figure 15.
Assembly
The machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to
Needed for Setup
and gather
all
listed items. To ensure the assembly process
goes smoothly, first clean any
parts that are
cov-
ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if
applicable).
Lifting heavy machinery
or parts without proper
assistance or equipment
may result in strains, back
injuries, crushing injuries,
or property damage.

5. Install cutterhead guard shaft into mounting
hole, as shown in Figure 19, then secure it
using lock knob.
6. Move fence all the way to back of table, then
pull cutterhead guard back and let it go.
It should spring back over cutterhead and
contact fence.
— If cutterhead guard does not spring back
over cutterhead and contact fence, then
cutterhead guard tension must be adjust-
ed (refer to Adjusting Cutterhead Guard
Tension on Page 44 for instructions).
7. Perform Setting Outfeed Table Height on
Page 37.
Cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature
of this jointer. You MUST install and verify
its operation before using the jointer! Failure
to properly install this guard will greatly
increase risk of serious personal injury.

Dust Collection
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Fit 5" dust hose over dust port, as shown in
Figure 20, then secure it in place with hose
clamp.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
DO NOT operate your jointer without an ade-
quate dust collection system. This machine
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collec-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.
2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Test Run
Once assembly is complete, test run the machine
to ensure it is properly connected to power and
safety components are functioning correctly.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The
Troubleshooting
table in the
SERVICE section of this manual can help.
DO NOT start machine until all preceding
setup instructions have been performed.
Operating an improperly set up machine
may result in malfunction or unexpect-
ed results that can lead to serious injury,
death, or machine/property damage.
Serious injury or death can result from
using this machine BEFORE understanding
its controls and related safety information.
DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate,
machine until the information is understood.
To test run machine:
1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.
The Test Run verifies that safety features stop
the machine when needed, and that the machine
operates properly prior to regular operation.

complete.
— If machine does start (with OFF
button pushed in), immediately disconnect
power to machine. The OFF button safety
feature is not working correctly. This safety
feature must work properly before
proceeding with regular operations. Call
Tech Support for help.
Tightening Belts
The final step in the setup process must be done
after approximately 16 hours of operation. During
this first 16 hours, the belt will stretch and seat
into the pulley grooves. After this time, you must
re-tension the belt to avoid slippage and burn out.
Refer to Page 35 when you are ready to perform
this important adjustment.
Note: Pulleys and belt can get hot. This is a
normal condition. Allow them to cool before
making adjustments.
A small amount of black belt dust at the bottom
of the belt housing is normal during the life of the
machine and does not indicate a problem with the
machine or belt.
