SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Jointer
As with all machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the use of this jointer. Use the
machine with the respect and caution demanded where safety precautions are concerned. When normal
safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator can result.
Wear eye protection.
Always keep cutter head and drive guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not remove
guard for rabbeting operations.
Never make jointing , planning, or rabbeting cut deeper than 1/8 in.
Always use hold-down/push blocks for jointing material narrower than 3 inches, or planning material
thinner than 3inches.
Never perform jointing. Planning, or rabbeting cuts (with jointers provided with a rabbeting guard) on
pieces shorter than 8 inches (203 mm) in length.
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on .
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
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.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
Make workshop kid proof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating Table (see
Figure 9) shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
Wear proper apparel. 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.
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.
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.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

3
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Disconnect tools before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the
like.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tools, 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.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Do not perform jointing operation on material shorter than 10 in , narrower than 3/4 in, or less than 1/4
in thick.
Do not perform planing operation on material shorter than 10 in , narrower than 3/4 in, or wider than 8
in or thinner than 1/2 in.
Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cutter head knife path.
Support the work piece adequately at all times during operation; mqintain control of the work at all
times.
Do not back the work toword the infeed table.
Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or a little-used operation without study and the use of
adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops and the like.

4
Hand safety. It is good practice to move the hands
in an alternate motion from back to front as the
work continues through the cut. Never pass the
hands directly over the cutter knife. As one hand
approaches the knives remove it from the stock in
an arc motion and place it back on the stock in a
position beyond the cutterknife.
Three inch rule. When working a piece of wood on
the jointer, follow the 3 inch radius rule. The hands
must never be closer than 3 inches to the cutter
head.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury
and/or possible machine damage)
WARNING: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it could result in serious injury or
! possibly even death).

Uncrating the Machine
Uncrate the machine and inspect the unit for
signs of shipping damage. If damage is found,
contact your dealer immediately. Unbolt the
machine from the pallet. Retain all packaging
materials in case it becomes necessary to ship
the machine to another site.
Machine Preparation and Setup
The jointer must be positioned on a smooth,
level surface. The area must be well lit and
have plenty of room to maneuver with large
pieces of wood.
Level the jointer front to back and side to
side using a level placed on the table. Use
shims under the corners, if necessary, but
make sure the jointer is the jointer is stable
before being placed into service.
Clean all rust protected surfaces with a
commercial solvent. Do not use acetone,
gasoline, lacquer thinner or any type of
flammable solvent, or a cleaner that may
damage paint. Cover cleaned surfaces with
WD-40 or a 20W machine oil.
Warning :The equipment used to lift this
machine must have a rated capacity at, or
above the weight of the jointer. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
Dust Collection
The 6” dust collection port (A, Fig. 1) is located
below the outfeed table. Typically flex hose is
used to run from this point to a central trunk
line.
Note: Do not operate the jointer without dust
collection.

Electrical Connections
This jointer can be 1 Phase based on your
order and is wired for 220 volt.
Grounding Instrctions
1. All grounded, cord connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment- grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if
it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green, with or without yellow
stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Warning: If the machine does not come wired to
run, the electrical and motor wiring must be done
by a qualified electrician. The machine must be
properly grounded to help avoid electrical shock
and possible death. Follow the recommendations
made by the National Electrical Code for grounding.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between
150-250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch D Figure 7. The tool has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch
D.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this
tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel
and after reconnection, the tool should comply
with all local codes and ordinances.
EXTENSION CORDS
Useproper extension cord. Makesure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. When using an exten-
sioncord, be sure to useoneheavy enough to carry
thecurrent your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause adrop in linevoltage resulting in loss of
power andoverheating. Figure 8shows thecorrect
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampererating. If in doubt,usethenextheavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

The jointer is equipped with a control box provided
with a key-operated power switch and ON . OFF
push buttons. See Fig. 2. To lock the switch in the
OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch.
Place the key in a location that is in accessible to
children and others not qualified to use the tool.
WARNING: Ensure that your workplace is
inaccessible to children by closing and locking all
entrances when you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in workplace when assembling ,
adjusting or operating equipment.
Cutterhead Guard Installing & Removal
1. Disconnect jointer from power source.
2. Turn knob (A) counterclockwise to create tension
on spring, and hold it there Fig 3.
3. Insert guard post (B) down through hole in front of
ledge.
4. Slightly turn set (A), if necessary, until the guard
seats itself, and the spring engages the slot at the
end of the guard post.
5. Check the guard for proper tension. If guard does
not spring back into place when pulled back from
cutterhead, remove guard and adjust spring
tension by repeating steps 1-3 until correct tension
is achieved. NEVER run the jointer without the
guard.
WARNING: Use the jointer guard for al l
operations.

SHEAR-TEC II 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. A. 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.
Fig. A
Cutterhead Removal
If removal of the cutterhead is necessary, do the
following:
WARNING: Disconnect jointer from power
source.
1. Remove the entire fence assembly by releasing
lock handle and removing hex nuts. Lift the
fence off the machine.
2. Loosen the bolts connecting the motor to the
motor mount and remove the drive belt from
cutterhead pulley.
3. Lower bothinfeed andoutfeed tables to expose
the cutterhead.
4. Remove the two bolts and spring washers which
secure the cutterhead to thebase, as shownin

Fence
Warning : Never make any adjustments with
the machine running!
Installation of the Fence
The fence, although completely assembled,
requires bolting to the machine as well as
alignment.
1. Mount the fence (Fig. 5) to the machine
base (Fig. 4) lining up the holes (A) with the
matching holes of the fence bracket, using the
allen bolts provided.
Fence Legend
The various adjustments, locks and handles
are shown in Fig.5.
A. 90 degree adjust bolt.
B. Angle lock handle.
C. 90 degree flip stop.
D. Width adjustment handle.
E. 45 degree adjust bolt.
F. Width lock handle.
G. Fence angle adjust handle.
Adjustment of the 90 Degree Stop
1. Lay a square on the infeed table as shown
in Fig. 6
2. Loosen the angle lock handle (B, Fig. 5).
3. Ensure the 90 degree flip stop
(C, Fig. 6) is in the 90 degree position.
4. Loosen the jam nut on the 90 degree
adjusting bolt (A, Fig.6) and adjust the bolt
against the flip stop until the fence becomes
true with the square.
5. Tighten the jam nut while holding the bolt
in position.
Fence Operation
To tilt the fence, see Fig.5. Loosen angle
lock handle ‘B’, flip up the stop ‘C’, and tilt
the fence with the fence angle adjusting
handle ‘G’ to the desired angle. Use a
protractor or adjustable triangle to set the
angle. A 45 degree stop, ‘E’ is provided for
quick set-up at this angle.
To adjust the cutting width loosen the lock
handle ‘F’ and turn the width adjustment
handle ‘D’ to move the fence toward or
away from the rabbeting ledge.
Once any adjustments are made be sure
to lock them into place.

Hand Safety and Placement
Never pass the hands directly over the cutter
knife. As one hand approaches the knives
remove it from the stock in an arc motion and
place it back on the stock in a position beyond
the cutter knife. See Fig 7.
When feeding the work piece, pressure is
applied not only toward the cutterhead but
against the fence and down to the table as well.
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the
material down and toward the fence while the
right hand pushes toward the cutterhead. As
the material crosses the cutterhead the left
hand comes up and over as in Fig 7 to
continue the pressure but now on the outfeed
table. As the right hand approaches the
cutterhead it is time to move it up and over the
cutterhead in the same fashion as the left in
Fig 7 all the while continuing pressure as
stated above.
Fig. 7
WARNING: Disconnect jointer from power source.
Keep all guards in place. Keep hands away from the
cutterhead! Always use push stick when possible.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Jointing
In order to craft a good woodworking project, it
is necessary to have a square piece of wood to
start with. The way to do this is with a jointer.
You need one straight edge and one flat face.
After you have these, you can plane to
thickness and rip to width and the resulting
piece will be square and true on all four sides.
At this point you can begin building your
project.
Direction of the Grain
To avoid tear out, always feed the material in
the direction of the grain. If the direction of the
grain changes half way through the board, try
taking lighter cuts at a slower feed rate. If the
results are still unsatisfactory, try turning the
material around and feeding the other way.
Fig. 8
(Fig. 8)

11
Edging
To give a good straight edge for gluing or
joining, set the fence square with the table.
Remove the least amount of material required
to obtain a straight edge. Hold the best face
of the piece firmly against the fence throughout
the feed. When finished you will have a perfect
starting point for your project. (Fig. 9)
Facing
Once you have a good edge it is time to
eliminate any warp or cup on the board. Keep
in mind the outfeed table is the reference point
and once the material is past the cutterhead,
downward pressure should be applied to the
outfeed table only. Putting downward pressure
on the board over the infeed table will bend any
cup or warp prior to hitting the cutterhead and
after the pressure is released, the cup will
spring back. At the same time try keeping a
constant feed rate in order to give a good
smooth cut with no burn marks . (Fig. 10)
Beveling
For beveling (Fig 11), set the fence to the
desired angle using a protractor and lock into
place. Feed the material through pressing
firmly against the fence and tables. Several
passes may be necessary for the desired result.
Fig. 9
Fig. 10
Fig. 11

12
Rabbeting
1. Adjust the fence so that the distance
between the edge of the knife and the
fence is equal to the width of the desired
rabbet (Fig 12).
2. Lower the infeed table to the depth of the
rabbet required. If the rabbet is quite deep
it may be necessary to do it in increments.
WARNING : Rabbeting requires removal of
the blade guard. Use extreme caution and
replace the guard after completion.
Adjusting the Infeed Table Height
The height of the infeed table with respect to
the cutting circle will determine the amount of
material to be removed from the work piece.
To raise or lower the table, turn the height
adjusting wheel (A, Fig 13) on the back of the
infeed table to the desired height indicated by
the guage (B, Fig 13).
Adjusting V-Belts
After the first 20 hours of operation it is
necessary to check the tension on of the V-
belts. To do this, loosen the knob A open the
pulley cover (C, Fig. 14). With medium finger
pressure the belt should push in approximately
½” about midway between the pulleys. If there
is too much play, remove the four screws (B,
Fig. 14) and take the cover off. Adjust the
tension by loosening the bottom jam nut on the
bracket (A, Figure 15) and then turn down the
top nut until the desired tension is achieved.

Lubrication
Periodically apply a lightgrease to the tables
up/down lead screw. As well, apply a light oil to
the dovetail ways from time to time to allow
ease of movement.
The cutterhead bearings are permanently
greased for life and do not require care.
Table Gibs and Leveling
The table gibs on your machine are factory
adjusted and may never require readjustment.
Should any adjustment become necessary, do
the following:
1. Lightly loosen the gib adjusting screws (A) on
the front base Fig.16 by 32mm(not including) .
By loosening the lock nuts first the set screws
should be loose enough to move the table.
2. Remove two covers B (Fig. 17) form back of
base then repeat step 1.
3. Support the end o f the table and a t the
same time, raise it up slightly, (it is
recommended that another person hold and
support the table when performing these
adjustments). Snug the gib screws. Any
adjustment of the gibs is very minute,
perhaps even 1,000th of an inch. If the gibs
are too tight the adjustment handles will be
difficult to turn. If the gibs are too loose the
tables could sag. Keep checking the level of
the tables with a straightedge until leveling is
achieved. When t ables are level, tighten
the lock screws.

Basic Operations
Before making anycutson the stock, makeafew
practice cuts by raising the infeed table to “0" and
with the power disconnected. In this manner you will
acquaint yourself withthefeel of jointer operations.
SURFACING

Adjust depth of cut. It is better to makecuts of ap-
proximately 1/64 inch. This will enable youto have
bettercontrol overthe material being surfaced. Make
several passes if necessary to obtain proper stock
removal.
Never surface pieces shorter than12 inches or thin-
nerthan3/8 inchwithout the useof aspecial work
