NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0821 (Mfd. Since 03/18) -9-
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate-
rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-
ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-
tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-
ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper acces-
sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

-10- Model G0821 (Mfd. Since 03/18)
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 produces chat-
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 8" long, 3⁄4" wide, or
1⁄4" 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.

Model G0821 (Mfd. Since 03/18) -11-
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 110V...... 12 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con-
sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
110V Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage .................... 110V, 115V, 120V
Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz
Phase ........................................... Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.

-12- Model G0821 (Mfd. Since 03/18)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

SHOCK HAZARD!
Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding
requirements for this machine. Do not modify
or use an adapter on the plug provided—if
it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified
electrician install the proper outlet with a
verified ground.
Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Cleanup Site Considerations
Figure 7. Minimum working clearances.
36"

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.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.
Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised around this machine.
Lock entrances to the shop
or disable start switch or
power connection to prevent
unsupervised use.
Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein-
forcement to support the weight of the machine
and workpiece materials.
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi-
tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work
tables, or other machinery when establishing a
location for this machine in the shop. Below is
the minimum amount of space needed for the
machine.

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.
The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

washers, and (2) 8mm lock washers to attach
carriage support to jointer (see Figure 10).
2. Insert locking plate assembly into carriage
support, so locking plate pins are against
bottom edge of carriage support (see Figure
11). Then attach fence carriage lock lever
and 10 x 3.5mm beveled washer to locking
plate assembly, as shown in Figure 12 on
Page 18).
