Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. This machine has made every attempt
to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is ultimately the responsibility of the
individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery, the operator must exercise caution, patience, and
common sense to safely run the machine. Before operating this product, become familiar with the safety rules in the
following sections.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
2. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
4. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
5. USE RIGHT TOOL Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
6. WEAR PROPERAPPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
7. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
8. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
9. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
13. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function -
check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
14. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
15. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
16. Wear eye protection.

SHEARTEC 2 CUTTERHEAD
Knife inserts are dangerously
sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting,
removing, or replacing knife inserts.
The knife inserts on the Jointer are four-sided.
When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it
90°for a fresh edge, and re-install it. No further
adjustment is necessary. Use the two provided
torx wrench to remove the knife insert screw. Use
one of the torx wrenches to help hold the
cutterhead in Position, and the other to remove
the screw. See Fig. 7. It is advisable to rotate all
inserts at the same time to maintain consistent
cutting. However, if one or more knife inserts
develops a nick, rotate only those inserts that are
affected.
Each knife insert has an etched reference mark
so you can keep track of the rotations.
IMPORTANT: When removing or rotating inserts,
clean saw dust from the screw, the insert, and the
cutterhead platform. Dust accumulation between
these elements can prevent the insert from
seating properly, and may affect the quality of the
cut.
Before installing each screw, lightly coat the screw
threads with machine oil and wipe off any excess.
Securely tighten each screw which holds the knife
inserts before operating the jointer!
Make sure all knife insert screws are tightened
securely. Loose inserts can be propelled at high
speed from a rotating cutterhead, causing injury.

DIGITAL READOUT
The digital scale equipped with 20”planer can
serve many applications, however for wood
planning we need only concern ourselves with
the ON/OFF, SET, and mm/in buttons.
When set properly the digital readout will display
the thickness of the finished product.
Calibration: In order to calibrate the unit first
run a board through the planer and measure the
finished thickness with a set of vernier calipers.
This is the number to be entered into the display
unit. At this point turn the unit on by pushing the
ON/OFF button. Now press the mm/in button to
set the unit to American standard or the metric
system.
1. Press and hold the SET button until the ‘+’
sign starts to flash and immediately release
A it.
2. Cycle the set button by pressing it until the ‘+’
sign remains on.
3. Press and hold the SET button until the
second zero to the right of the ‘+’ plus sign
starts to flash and immediately release it.
4. Cycle the SET button by pressing it until the
number reads the correct whole number taken
with the vernier calipers and immediately
release the button.
5. Press and hold the SET button until the zero
to the right of the decimal point starts to flash.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the last digit in the
0.001 place is entered.
7. Press and hold the SET button until the SET
on thedisplay starts to flashand
immediately release it.
8. Press and release the SET button one final
time to complete the calibration.
Note: Do not turn the device off. If you do
you will have to re-calibrate the unit.
Battery: When the display begins to flash the
battery should be replaced. The battery is to be
replaced with a SR144 (or equivalent) and can
be found at most pharmacies or grocery stores.
When replacing the battery the positive side
of the button cell must face out.
