This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,

operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this

document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual

may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,

electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.

This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in

a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,

proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-

hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool

integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage

from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State

of California 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 equip-

ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter

out microscopic particles.

INTRODUCTION

A jointer is used to flatten the face or edge of

a workpiece, which is required when properly

“squaring up” a workpiece for later construction or

jointing. A jointer can also cut bevels, rabbets, and

other specialized cuts with various jigs or fixtures.

A typical cut on a jointer is made by firmly holding

a workpiece against the infeed table and fence,

then moving the workpiece over the cutterhead

while using the fence as a guide. As the workpiece

moves over the cutterhead, the knives or inserts

make many shallow cuts that “shave” off the sur-

face of the workpiece. Since only a small amount

of the workpiece is removed during a jointer cut,

most jointer cuts are repeated many times to yield

a desired result.

The Model G0490 has a 4-knife cutterhead and

the Model G0490X has a spiral cutterhead with

40 indexable inserts.

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Jointer

a) Wear eye protection.

b) Always keep cutterhead and drive guards in place and in proper operating condition. ALWAYS

replace cutterhead guard after rabbeting operations.

c) Never make jointing or rabbeting cutsdeeper than 1⁄8"or planing cuts deeper than 1⁄16"

d) Always use hold-down or push blocks when jointing material narrower than 3" or planing

material thinner than 3".

e) Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces shorter than 10" in length.

Controls &

Components

Refer to Figures 1–3 and the following descrip-

tions to become familiar with the basic controls of

this machine.

To reduce your risk of

serious injury, read this

entire manual BEFORE

using machine.

Figure 1. STOP/START button locations.

STOP

Button

START

Button

START Button: Starts motor only if the STOP

button is in the out position.

STOP Button: Stops motor when pushed in and

disables the START button. Enable the START

button by twisting the STOP button clockwise until

it springs forward in the out position.

Table Movement: To move the infeed table,

loosen the table lock (see Figure 2), position

the table with the table adjustment lever in the

preset range, then tighten the table lock. The

outfeed table is preset with no range of movement

allowed, so if it gets accidentally unlocked it will

not move.

Figure 3. Locations of fence controls.

Fence Lock

Tilt

Lock

Plunger

Fence Movement: The fence has a lock that

keeps it in position (see Figure 3). To move the

fence, loosen the lock and slide the fence where

needed.

Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (see Figure 3) secures

the fence at any position in the available range.

The plunger locks into an indexing ring to easily

set the fence tilt to 90° after moving it. Two posi-

tive stops enable the fence to be positioned at 45°

inward and 45° outward for common 45° bevel

cuts. Even when the fence is resting against the

fence stops, the tilt lock must be tightened before

cutting.
