SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Jointer
As with allmachines, there is acertainamount of hazard involved with theuseof thisjointer. Usethemachine with
therespect andcaution demanded where safety precautions areconcerned. When normal safety precautions
areoverlooked or ignored, personal injury to theoperator canresult.
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.
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.

3
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 8 in , narrower than 3/4 in, or less than 1/4 in thick.
Do not perform planning operation on material shorter than 8 in , narrower than 3/4 in, or wider than 6”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.
Hand safety. It is good practice to movethehands
in an alternate motion from back to front as thework
continues through thecut. Never pass thehands
directly over thecutter knife. As onehandapproaches
theknives remove it from thestock in an arcmotion
andplace it back on thestock in aposition beyond
thecutterknife.
Three inch rule. When working apiece of wood on
thejointer, follow the3inch radius rule. Thehands
must never be closer than3inches to thecutter head.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling andother 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.
*Crystallinesilica from bricks andcement andother masonry products.
*Arsenic andchromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Yourrisk from these exposures varies, depending on howoften youdo this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in awell-ventilated area, andwork with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that arespecifically designed to filter outmicroscopic particles.

In theevent of amalfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides apath of least resistance for electric current to
reduce therisk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment- grounding
conductor andagrounding plug. Theplug must be
plugged into amatching outlet thatis properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all localcodes and
ordinances. Do notmodify theplug provided -if it will
notfittheoutlet, have theproper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of theequipment-grounding con-
ductor canresult in arisk 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 repairor
replacement of theelectric cord or plug is necessary,
do notconnect theequipment-grounding conductor to
aliveterminal. Check with aqualified electrician or
service personnel if thegrounding instructions are
notcompletely understood, or if in doubtas to
whether thetool is properly grounded.

Helical Cutterhead
WARNING: 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. 13. 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.

Jointing Knives
After extended use it will be necessary to
sharpen the knives on the cutterhead assembly
so that all knives protrude exactly the same
height above the cutterhead .
To joint the knives:
WARNING: Disconnect machine from
power source. Use approved eye
protection whenever sharpening blades.
1. Remove the cutterhead guard
2. Place a metal straightedge across both
tables as shown in Fig.16, and make sure
both tables are set to the exact height of the
high point of the knives.
3. Clamp a block of wood across the infeed
table as shown in Fig. 17 in order to block
the end of a fine India stone or oilstone
during the jointing operation. This helps to
prevent kickback of the stone.
4. Turn machine on.
5. Keeping hands well clear of the cutterhead,
place the stone into position as shown
in Fig. 17, and slide the oilstone back
and forth across both tables until the
knives are lightly jointed.
6. TURN MACHINE OFF and visually inspect
each knife. If only the high knife has been
touched, lower the OUTFEED table 0.003”
and continue the sharpening process until all
three knives have been touched by the stone.

Basic Operations
Before making any cuts on the stock, make a
few practice cuts by raising the infeed table to
“ 0" and with the power disconnected. In this
manner you will acquaint yourself with the feel
of jointer operations.
Surfacing
twohandedpush
block
Adjust depth of cut. It is better to makecuts of
approximately 1/64 inch. Thiswill enable you
to have better control over thematerial being
surfaced. Make several passes if necessary to
obtain proper stock removal.
Never surface pieces shorter than 12inches or
thinner than3/8 inchwithout the useof a
special work holding fixture. Never surface
pieces thinner than3inches without the use of

Surfacing: Long Boards
Theuseof pushblocks willhelpto insure
against hands coming in contact with cutterhead
in the event of akickback andas trailing endof
board passes over cutterhead.
When surfacing longstock, place pushblock
nearthefront of piece andstart feeding wood with
the right hand until guard has opened and cut is
started (Fig. 27).
Place second pushblock near the rear of infeed
table and continue feeding stock using the hand
over hand method (Fig. 28).
Before the left hand is in the 3 inch area of the
cutterhead move it over to the outfeed side
(Fig. 29).
As soon as possible follow with the right hand
over to the outfeed side and continue through
with cut (Fig.30).
Begin by feeding stock with right hand and
apply pressure to front of stock with push block.
When the stock is longer than twice the length
of the infeed and outfeed tables, another
helper or support table must be used to
support the stock.

Jointing (or Edging)
Never edge a board that is less than 3 inches
wide, less than 1/4 inch thick, or 12 inches
long, without using a push block.
move fence forward
to expose only amount
of cutterhead required
CAUTION: When workpiece is twice the
è length of the jointer infeed or outfeed
table use an infeed or outfeed support .
Begin by feeding stock with right hand and
apply pressure to front of stock with push block.
When edging, make cuts of approximately 1/16
inch for hardwood and 1/8 inch for softwood.
When edging wood wider than 3 inches lap the
fingers over the top of the wood, extending
them back over the fence such that they will act
as a stop for the hands in the event of a
kickback. Keep stock against the fence
(Fig. 31).
Beveling
When beveling never make cut deeper than
1/16 inch. Make certain material being beveled
is over 12 inches long, more than 1/4 inch thick
and 1 inch wide. Set fence to desired angle.
FIG.31
FIG. 32
CAUTION: Although fence may be tilted in
or out for bevel cut, We recommends for
safety reasons the fence be tilted in,
if possible, making a cradled cut (Fig. 32).
For wood wider than 3 inches, hold with fingers
close together near the top of the stock, lapping
over the board and extending over the fence.
When beveling material less than 3 inches wide,
use beveled push blocks and apply pressure
toward the fence. Keep fingers near top of
push block (Fig. 33).
When beveling short material use one bevel
hold down and apply pressure toward the fence.
Keep thumb above the ledge on hold down
block (Fig. 34).
Cross Grain
NOTE: When beveling around four edges of a
workpiece, make cross grain cuts first. This will
help clean up any chipping or splintering when
beveling the end grain.
For long boards, follow the same hand-over-
hand procedure used for surfacing long boards.

Skewing (Shear Cutting)
When edging or facing burl or birds-eyemaple,
it is notunusual to deface or marthesurface
being finished. This is caused by the
cutterhead blades at times cutting against the
grain. In order to prevent the defacing or
marring of this type wood, it is necessary to skew,
or anglefinish, thematerial being worked. See
Fig. 35.
1. Release the fence locking handle and
remove the two hex nuts and flat washer
holding the fence to the fence support.
Remove the fence.
2. Remove the key from the fence slide base.
3. Replace the fence assembly at the desired
angle across the cutterhead. Secure the
fence to the support with the two hex nuts
and flat washer, then tighten the fence
locking handle.
Push Blocks
Push blocks are simple, yet necessary tools to
assist the operator especially when jointing thin
or short stock. Illustrated in Fig. 36 are three
types of push blocks commonly used in jointing.
Push blocks may be obtained commercially or
easily constructed.
Note: The Jointer is supplied with two push
block for feeding stock as below showing
