GENERAL SAFETY
NOTE: The and symbols indicate a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury. READ THIS
MANUAL completely before assembling and operating this machine.
TO AVOID serious injury, death, or damage to the machine, please read,
understand, and follow, all Safety and Operating Instructions before assembling and operating
this machine. This manual is not totally comprehensive. It does not and cannot convey every
possible safety and operational problem which may arise while using this machine. The manual
will cover many of the basic and specific safety procedures needed in an industrial environment.
All federal and state laws, and any regulations having jurisdiction covering the safety
requirements for use of this machine, take precedence over the statements in this manual. Users
of this machine must adhere to all such regulations.
Exposure to the dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid
prolonged contact with dust. The dust may contain 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.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use a dust
collection system along with an air filtration system whenever possible. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any machine can throw debris into the eyes during
operations, which could cause severe and permanent eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when
operating power tools.
ALWAYS wear hearing protection. Plain cotton is not an acceptable protective
device. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 Standards.
ALWAYS wear a NIOSH/OSHA approved dust mask to prevent inhaling dangerous
dust or airborne particles.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be
plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify the plug. If it will not fit your electrical
receptacle, have a qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet all electrical codes
local and state. ALL connections must also adhere to NEC and OSHA mandates.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded properly or if the
electrical configuration does not comply with local and state electrical codes.
MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from power source before starting any electrical
work.
MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a 115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase motor. Never connect
the green or ground wire to a live terminal. A machine with a 115 volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole
receptacle that accepts the machine’s plug. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it
is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a worn or damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

UNPACKING & INVENTORY
Check shipping carton for damage before unpacking. Carefully remove packaging materials,
parts and machine from shipping carton. Always check for and remove protective shipping
materials around motors and moving parts. Foam weather stripping under the tables near
cutterhead should remain in place. Lay out all parts on a clean work surface.
Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL working around the cutterhead tips as they are VERY SHARP!!!
Remove any protective materials and coatings from all of the parts and the jointer except for the
cutterhead. Specific cutterhead cleaning instructions follow. The protective coatings can be
removed by spraying WD-40 on a soft cloth and wiping the surfaces.
After cleaning, apply a good quality paste wax to the table surfaces being careful of the
cutterhead. Make sure to buff out the wax before assembly. This will keep your stock
sliding smoothly and keep rust from forming on the tables.
NOTE: Some parts pictured may already be installed on your machine at the factory.

CLEANING SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD & TIPS (cont.)
Step 3 - Separate the tips from the screws and place in separate containers with a bit of mineral
spirits or non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Once all are removed, wipe down the bare cutterhead
using rags with whichever solvent you chose. Once the oil is wiped off, use an air compressor or a
can of pressurized air to clear each seat and screw hole on the cutter head. This will aid in knife
and cutter tips reinstallation.
Step 4 - Lubricate the Torx screw threads with light machine oil, wipe the excess oil off the threads,
Place each knife in the seat and slightly snug each screw using the Hex Wrench to hold the
cutterhead in position. Once you get a row of tips seated and slightly tightened down, repeat by
going back over each cutter tip and tighten down the screws securely to 48 to 50 inch / lbs.
NOTE: NOT FT/LBS !
After all assembly and adjustment instructions are completed, use a sacrificial board after cleaning
to test for remaining oil. If oil is still apparent, repeat the cleaning method you used above.
