5. Do not use this jointer for other than its intended use.
Warning
1. Read and understand the entire owners manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with
all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This jointer is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a jointer, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this jointer. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this jointer, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past
the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. 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, cement and other masonry products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
16. Make sure the jointer is firmly secured to the stand or a bench before use.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, 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.
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

4
21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the knives or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.
25. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
26. Maintain tools with care. Keep knives sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
27. Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to
remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.
28. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
29. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
30. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or
possible machine damage.

Removing and Replacing Knives
Disconnect the machine from
the power source before making any
adjustment or repair. All knife lock bolts
must be firmly tightened or risk ejection of
the knife(s) and lock bar from the cutterhead!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
Loosen screws by turning in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the infeed table.
Repeat for the other two blades.
4. Before assembly, clean all parts thoroughly
and clear cutterhead knife slots of any dust
or debris.
5. Insert knife into the cutterhead channel
making sure it faces the proper direction.
6. Insert lock bar and screws and tighten to
hold in place. Blades are set at the proper
height when the top of the blade is 1/16"
above the cutterhead.
7. Repeat for other two blades.
8. To set the knives to the outfeed table and to
the same height in the cutterhead, see
section titled “Leveling Outfeed Table to
manual.
Replacing or Rotating Knife Inserts
are four-sided. When dull, simply remove each
insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re-
install it.
Use the two provided star point screwdrivers to
Use one of the screwdrivers to help hold the
cutterhead in position, and the other to remove
the screw. 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.

Figure 24
Each knife insert has an etched reference mark
so that 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 planer!
Make sure all knife insert
screws are tightened securely. Loose inserts
can be propelled at high speed from a
rotating cutterhead, causing injury.
Operation
Keep all guards in place and
in adjustment at all times during the cutting
procedure! Keep hands away from the
cutterhead! Do not pass hands directly over
the cutterhead! The use of push sticks
and/or handle pads are highly recommended
when using the jointer! Failure to comply
may cause serious injury!
Jointing cuts or edge jointing are made to
square an edge of a workpiece. The workpiece
is positioned on the jointer with the narrow edge
of the workpiece on the infeed table and the
major flat surface of the workpiece against the
Planing cuts are similar. The major surface of
the workpiece is placed on the table with the
narrow edge of the workpiece against the fence

planing, use push blocks. (Fig. 25)
(Fig. 24)
Figure 27
Figure 26
For jointing and planing cuts pressure is directed
three ways; into the fence to ensure a square
cut, forward to advance the stock, and
downward to avoid chatter and vibration.
For jointing when the material is higher than the
fence, the left hand applies pressure into the
fence and down toward the table while the right
hand pushes forward from behind. Be sure to
keep the right hand high up on the material.
For jointing material that is lower than the fence,
use push sticks to protect the hands. For
Never
place the right hand on the trailing edge of
the material. Hand placement on the trailing
edge of the material may cause the hand to
come into contact with the blade.
Feed work from right to left at a steady,
moderate speed. If you feed the material too
slowly, the wood will burn in places. If you feed
the material too quickly, ridges will appear in the
finished surface.
Jointing Warped Material
If the work to be jointed is cupped or warped,
take light, repetitive cuts until the surface is flat.
Forcing the material flat against the table will still
leave a warped piece after the cuts have been
made.
Never joint any material
shorter than eight inches! The material may
tip into the jointer’s throat and be kicked
back! Avoid jointing thin material which
could become jammed under the fence or
blade guard! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
Direction of Grain
Feed the material with of the grain to avoid
changes somewhere in the board, try reducing
depth of cut and slow the feed speed down to
avoid tearout. If results still aren’t satisfactory,
turn the material around and try feeding through
the other way.
Bevel Cut
To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the desired
angle and run the material through, pressing the
work firmly against the fence and tables (Fig.

equal to the width of the rabbet (Fig. 28).
Figure 28
Taper Cut
Taper cuts require the
removal of the cutterhead guard. Use
extreme caution when making taper cuts and
replace the guard immediately after
completion! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
One of the most useful jointer operations is
cutting an edge to a taper. This method can be
used on a wide variety of work; tapered legs of
furniture is a common example.
Instead of laying the piece down on the infeed
table, lower the forward end of the work onto the
outfeed table. Use caution, however, as the
piece will span the knives, and they will take a
“bite” from the work with a tendency to kick back
unless the piece is held firmly. Push the work
forward as in ordinary jointing. The effect is to
plane off all the stock in front of the knives to an
increasing depth, leaving a tapered surface.
The ridge left by the knives when starting the
taper may be removed by taking a very light cut
in the regular jointing procedure, with the infeed
table raised to its normal position.
Practice is required in this operation. Beginners
are advised to make trial cuts with scrap
material.
Rabbet Cut
Rabbeting requires the
removal of the cutterhead guard. Use
extreme caution when making rabbeting cuts
and replace the guard immediately after
completion! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
Note: Rabbet cuts are not applicable with the
Model JJ-8HH Jointer with helical head.
1. Adjust the fence so that the distance
between the end of the knives and fence is
2. Lower the infeed table an amount equal to
the depth of the rabbet. If the rabbet is quite
deep, it may be necessary to cut in two or
more passes.
3. In that event, the table is lowered an amount
equal to about half the depth of the rabbet
for the first pass, then lowered again to
proper depth to complete the cut.

Sharpening the Stright Knives
Maintenance
Lubrication
1. Use a good grade of light grease on the
steel adjusting screws located in the raising
and lowering mechanisms of the work
tables.
2. Occasionally, apply a few drops of light
machine oil to the gibs. This permits the
tables to slide freely.
3. The cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime
lubricated and need no further care.
Blade Care
Blades are extremely sharp!
Use caution when cleaning or changing.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
When gum and pitch collect on the blades,
carefully remove with a strong solvent. Failure
to remove gum and pitch build-up may result in
excessive friction and overheating.
When blades become dull, touch up blades.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Remove the fence, blade guard and belt
cover.
3. To protect the infeed table from scratches,
partially cover the sharpening stone with
4. Lay the stone on the infeed table.
5. Lower the infeed table and turn the
cutterhead by turning the cutterhead pulley.
The infeed table height is set properly when
the stone’s surface is flush with the knife
bevel.
6. Keep the cutterhead from rotating by
grasping the cutterhead pulley while sliding
the stone back and forth across the table.
7. Take the same amount of passes for all
three blades.
When the blades have been sharpened, if they
still are not cutting efficiently, trying to touch up
the blades further will only cause the formation
of a second beveled edge. When this starts to
happen, it is time to replace blades with another
set.
It is recommended to keep a second set of
blades on hand so that they may be installed
while the first set is being professionally
sharpened.
Cutterhead Removal
Blades in the cutterhead are
sharp! Use extreme caution when handling
the removal of the cutterhead. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
The entire cutterhead assembly may be
removed for cleaning or for bearing and blade
replacement. Some woodworkers keep a spare
cutterhead with replacement blades should the
original cutterhead have to be repaired.
To remove the cutterhead (including bearings,
studs, and housing) from the base casting:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Remove the fence assembly, cutterhead
guard, and belt guard.
3. Remove the v-belt from the cutterhead
pulley.

6. Lift assembly straight up. Studs (F, Fig. 30)
will still be attached to the bearing housings.
7. Before replacing the cutterhead back into
the casting, thoroughly clean the “saddle”
