POWER SUPPLY
AVAILABILITY OF POWER
Before Installation of this machine you will
need to consider the proximity of your
power supply circuit. If available circuits do
not meet the requirements for this machine
you will have to get a new circuit installed
by a licensed electrician. Use of a licensed
electrician will minimize the risks of fire,
electrocution, damage to equipment, and
will insure everything is wired in
accordance to the applicable codes and
standards.

6
FULL LOAD CURRENT RATING
This is the amount of Amps a machine
draws under 100% of the rated output
power.
FULL LOAD RATING FOR 120V
15AMPS
The full load current is not the maximum
amount of amps the machine will draw.
The machine has potential to draw current
beyond the full load rating if it is
overloaded. Overloading of the machine
for an extended period of time can cause
damage, overheating, or even fire. The
risk is higher if the machine is on an
undersized circuit. To help avoid these
issues insure you are connected to a
circuit in which meets the specified circuit
requirements for this piece of machinery.
WARNING!!!
Do not connect machine to power
before setup has been fully completed
to avoid risk of personal injury or
property damage.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS FOR
CX06Z JOINTER
The CX06Z has been prewired at the
factory for operation on an electrical circuit
that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
Voltage: 110V – 120V
Cycle: 60Hertz
Phase: Single
Circuit Breaker Size: 20Amps
Please Note:
1. An electrical circuit includes all
electrical equipment between the
breaker panel and the machine. This is
why it is important to have the proper
circuit size so it can safely
accommodate this machine under full
load for an extended period of time.
2. The circuit requirements laid out in this
manual are for a dedicated circuit in
which only one machine will be
operational or installed at a time.
3. If you choose to connect to a shared
circuit where more than one machine
may be running at a time please
consult with a qualified electrician to
insure the circuit is properly sized for
safe operation.
PLUG AND GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS
This machine must be grounded so that in
the event of certain malfunctions it will

7
reduce the chances of electrical shock by
providing a path of least resistance for the
electric current to travel through. For this
reason the CX06Z comes with a cord
equipped with a grounding wire that leads
in to the grounding prong on the plug.
NOTE:
The three prong plug is only to be plugged
in to the matching receptacle that is
properly installed according to the local
electrical codes and standards. Under no
circumstances should you modify the plug
to make it fit in a receptacle that it is not
meant for this configuration. ( see figure 1)
Figure 1
If there is an improper connection of a
machine grounding wire it may result in a
heightened risk of electric shock. If repair
or replacement of the power cord is
necessary in the future please consult a
licensed electrician.
NOTE:
If ever you notice damage or wear to either
the cord or plug disconnect it immediately
from the power supply and have it
replaced by a licensed electrician or
service tech before any further use of the
machine.
USE WITH EXTENSION CORDS
If you absolutely must require the use of
an extension cord with your machine do
so, on a temporary short term basis only.
NOTE:
1. We recommend that you do not use an
extension cord with this machine. Also the
longer the extension cord the greater the
possibility of voltage drop causing the
motor to work harder under powered which
in turn will cause it to draw more amps.
This may cause the thermal overload to
trip or even the breaker in your electrical
panel. It may also cause the extension
cord to heat up which can be a potential
fire hazard.
2. If an extension cord is used with this
machine it must have a ground wire with a
plug that matches the one currently
installed on your machine. The extension
cord must also meet the following
specifications below:
Minimum Wire Gauge: 16 AWG
Maximum Cord Length: 50 ft.

InfeedTableAdjustment

Beforeanycuttheproperinfeedtable
adjustmentmustbemadetosafelyand
efficientlyusethisjointer.DONOTsetthe
infeedtabledepthgreaterthan1/16”onyour
firstpassandnevergreaterthan1/8”when
rabbeting.

WARNING!
Bewareofkickbackwhenexcessivedepthsof
cutaremade.Limitasinglepassfrom1/16”
to1/8”.Seriousinjurycouldoccurinthe
eventofkickback.

StockInspection

DONOTjointorsurfaceplanestockthat
containsknots.Ifaknotbecomes
dislodgedduringthecuttingoperationit
couldcauseinjurytotheoperatorand
evendamagetheworkpiece.

DONOTjointorsurfaceplanestockwith
embeddedforeignobjectslikenails,
rocks,etc.Doingthismaycausekickback
ordamagetheworkpiece.

Jointingorsurfaceplaningwiththe
grainwillgiveasuperiorfinishandis
saferfortheoperator,orfeedingthe
stockonthetablesothegrainpoints
downandtowardyouasviewedon
theedgeofthestock.(SeeFig.30).
Note:Ifthegrainchangesdirection
alongtheedge,decreasethecutting
depthandmakeadditionalpasses.

Yourjointerisdesignedonlytocut
naturalwoodfiberproducts.DONOT
jointMDF,particleboard,plywood,
laminatesorothersyntheticallymade
materials.

Scrapeallglueofftheworkpiece
beforejointing.Gluedeposits,either
hardorsoftwillgumuptheblades,
producepoorresultsandmaycause
kickback.

Removeforeignobjectsfromthe
workpiece.Alwayscheckyour
workpieceforforeignobjectssuchas
nailsandstaples.Ensurethatyour
workpieceisfreeofdirtthatmay
damagetheplanerblades.NOTE:
Woodstackedondirtorconcretemay
havesmallpiecesofconcreteorstone
embeddedintothesurface.

Useonlydrywoodwhenjointingor
planing.Woodwithamoisture
contentofover20%cancause
unnecessaryweartotheplanerblades,
producepoorcuttingresultsand
increasetheriskofkickback.

CAUTION:
Yourworkpiecemustexceedtheminimum
dimensionsofstockshownin(Fig.W&X)


Squaringstockisaccomplishedbyperforming
thefollowingfourstepsintheorderlisted.

1. Surfaceplaneonthejointer–The
concavefaceoftheworkpieceis
surfaceplanedflatwiththejointer.
