•Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
•Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
•Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
•Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
•Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
parts list provided to order replacement parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
•Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
•Disconnect tool when changing blades.
•Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the
OFF position before plugging in.
•Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
•Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
•Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
•Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if blade is unintentionally contacted.

event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
•Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in out-
let, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
•Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired
by an authorized service facility.
•Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to
a live terminal.
•A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with
National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be performed by
a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure 8)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is proper-
ly grounded.
•Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted
in Canada.)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is permitted,
the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must
be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such
as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet
box or a properly grounded wire system.
•Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
•The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)

OPERATION
Refer to Figures 10-20, pages 6-8.
OPERATION SAFETY RULES
Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small amount of wood is
removed from the edges and faces of boards to get smooth, straight
and even surfaces such that the two edges that run across the plan-
ing blocks would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless joint.
Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while
creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board.
Depth of cut is the term used to indicate how deep the blades will
cut into the workpiece.
WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into eyes which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool operation.
WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions and
safety precautions before operating tool.
•Know general power tool safety. Make sure all precautions are
understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).
•Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on jointer/planer,
turn switch off and remove plug from power source.
•Make sure all guards are properly attached and securely
fastened.
•Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
•Always wear eye protection or face shield.
•Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached to cutter-
head.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
•Do not plug in jointer/planer unless switch is in OFF position.
After turning switch on, allow jointer/planer to come to full
speed before operating.
•Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
•Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat motor.
•Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are smoother
with good quality wood.
•Do not perform jointing/planing operations on material shorter
than 81/8″, narrower than 3/4″, or less than 1/4″thick.
•Never make jointing cut deeper than 1/8″.
•Always keep cutterhead and blade guards in proper working
condition.
•Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed table
surfaces and cutterhead blade path.
•Do not back the work toward the infeed table.
•Support the workpiece adequately at all times during opera-
tion; maintain control of the workpiece.
•Use hold-down/push blocks for jointing material narrower than
3″or planing material thinner than 3″.
•Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit anyone to
stand or cross in line of cutterhead’s rotation. Kickback or
thrown debris will travel in this direction.
•Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever jointer/planer
is not in use.
•Replace or sharpen blades as they become damaged or dull.
•Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or little used opera-
tion without study and the use of adequate hold-down/push
blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops and the like.
•Keep jointer/planer maintained. Follow maintenance instructions
(see pages 9-10).
DEPTH OF CUT
Refer to Figure 10.
The depth of cut is adjusted by the relative positioning of the
infeed table with respect to the cutterhead. Infeed table can be
raised or lowered using the handwheel.
Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will lower the infeed
table causing more wood to be removed from workpiece. Turning
the handwheel clockwise will raise the infeed table causing less
wood to be removed from workpiece.
Do not make jointing or planing cuts deeper than 1/8″.
CHECK DEPTH OF CUT
Refer to Figure 11.
•Place a straight edge on the outfeed table extending over the
infeed table.
•Measure from the surface of the infeed table to the bottom of
the straight edge.This will be the depth of cut.
NOTE: This jointer/planer will make a maximum 1/8″deep cut. To
reduce the danger of kickback and possible injury, we recommend
taking cuts of 1/16″or less.
CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
cord is unplugged from power source before performing this
check.
POSITIONING FENCE
The fence can be adjusted to cut any angle from 0°-45° inward and
outward.The fence can be tilted inward up to 45° (toward the cut-
terhead) to maintain greater stability of a narrow workpiece or up
to 45° outward (away from cutterhead) for larger angle cutting
operations.
To adjust tilting angle:
•Loosen fence tilting handle.
•The fence tilting handle is spring loaded. To continue turning
the handle, gently pull the handle away from the fence and
return it to the original position.
•Release the handle and continue loosening.
•Manually tilt fence inward/outward to the desired angle. Use a
bevel scale or protractor to measure tilt angle.
NOTE: The fence has positive stops at 0° (90° from table), 45°
inward and 45° outward.
•Tighten fence tilting handle.
•To continue tightening, gently pull the handle away from fence
and return the handle to the original position.
•Release the handle and continue tightening.
•Make sure the fence is tight and secure.
The fence can be positioned so that any desired width of the blade
is exposed.
To adjust fence position:
•Loosen fence sliding handle.
•Slide fence forward to the desired position.
•Tighten fence sliding handle.
•Make sure fence is tight and secure.
CAUTION: Do not remove blade guard. Make sure that the cutter-
head is covered all the time.
CAUTION: Do not slide fence away from the jointer body. All
sides of the cutterhead must be covered all the time.
BLADE GUARD
The blade guard provides protection over the cutterhead. It must
always be in place and function properly.
Check the guard to make sure it functions properly. To check:
•Pass a 1/4″thick piece of wood over the cutterhead between the
guard and the fence. The guard will spread and leave way for
the wood piece to pass. The guard must return to the original
position automatically when the wood piece is removed.
•Open the blade guard all the way until it stops, and release it
several times. It should always return to its original position by
spring action.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CAUTION: If the blade guard fails to operate properly, the spring
must be replaced or adjusted.
•To adjust or to assemble spring see “Adjusting Blade Guard”,
page 9.
ADJUSTING BLADE HEIGHT
Refer to Figures 12-14.
CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and cord is
unplugged before proceeding with checking blades.
The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure proper
operation and should require no adjustment. However, shipping
and handling may have caused misalignment. For accurate cutting,
the blades must be as high as the outfeed table when positioned
at the highest point. To check blade height:
•Block the blade guard from closing using a scrap piece of wood
about 61/4″long between the fence and blade guard.
•Turn the cutterhead so that one of the blades is at the highest
position.
CAUTION: The cutterhead blades are extremely sharp. Do not let
your fingers contact the cutting edge at any time.
•Place a straightedge over the outfeed table and the blade.
•The straightedge must touch evenly on the outfeed table at
both ends of the blade.
•Rotate the cutterhead by hand. The blades should just touch
the straightedge. If a blade is too low or too high at either end,
adjust blade height using the jack screws.
AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
Jointer/planer is a precision woodworking machine and should
only be used on quality lumber. Using bad lumber could result in a
poor quality cut on subsequent pieces.
For proper operation, it is preferable to use the jointer with a dust
collecting system (see “Using a Vacuum Hose”, page 8) attached to
the exhaust port in the rear of the jointer. Attaching a dust collect-
ing system is especially required when taking deeper cuts to pre-
vent clogging of wood chips.
•Do not use dirty boards. Dirt and stones are abrasive and will
wear blade.
•Remove nails and staples. Jointer should only cut wood.
•Avoid knots. Heavy cross-grain makes knots hard and they can
come loose and jam the jointer.
•Assess value of badly warped boards. Operator can be tempted
to use too deep of cut to square boards quickly. Use several
passes to maintain a level surface.
ON-OFF SWITCH
Refer to Figure 15.
The operating positions of the On-Off switch are located on the
front of your jointer/planer.
•Push the switch up to turn jointer/planer on and push down to
turn the unit off.
•The switch has a removable key that allows the unit to be
locked in the OFF position.
To activate locking mechanism:
•Push the switch to OFF position.
•Pull switch key.
To deactivate locking mechanism:
•Insert and press switch key in the slot on switch.
WARNING: Be sure the switch is in OFF position and the cord is
unplugged from the power source before removing switch key.
FEEDING WORKPIECE
Refer to Figures 16-19, page 8.
Feed rate refers to rate at which wood is passed over blades. An
even feed will produce a uniform service.To feed workpiece:
•Hold the board firmly down on both tables and against the
fence.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
•Keep fingers close together.
•Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed. Any hesita-
tion or stopping could cause a “step” to be cut on the edge of
the board.
•As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead, remove the
leading hand.
•Continue feeding while placing the leading hand behind the
trailing hand until the entire length of the board is cut.
•Feed with the grain whenever possible.
•If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be fed
against the grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly.
•When using long workpieces, to avoid injury from slips or kick-
backs and to exert even pressure on the cutterhead, use extra
supports (see “Recommended Accessories”, page 15) at both
infeed and outfeed ends.
USING HOLD DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS
Refer to Figure 19.
•Always use hold-down/push-blocks when jointing, or rabbeting
wood that is narrower than 3″, planing wood thinner than 3″.
•Grasp the hold-down/push-blocks firmly.
•Position the push-blocks flat on top of workpiece and push the
workpiece down against the table.
•Use a hand-over-hand motion to maintain control over the
workpiece at all times.
•When planing workpiece between 1/2- 3/4″and narrower than
the push-blocks, tilt the push-blocks so that it clears the cutter-
head guard while feeding.
BEVELING AND CHAMFERING
Refer to Figure 20.
•The fence on the jointer/planer is adjustable from 45° inward to
45° outward. Adjust the fence to the desired angle and tighten
fence tilting handle.
•Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board at an
angle. Beveling may require several passes due to the depth of
cut needed.
•Chamfering refers to removing only the corner of the edge of a
board. Normally a chamfer is made on one pass; so a 1/16″depth
of cut is made.
USING A VACUUM HOSE
A standard dust collection hose can be attached to the exhaust
port (21/2″Dia.) underneath the outfeed table. Jointer will perform
properly at all depths of cuts up to 1/8″when used with a dust col-
lecting system. (See “Avoid Damage to Blades”, page 7.) To attach a
dust collecting system:
•Insert the dust collection hose to the exhaust port on the rear
of the jointer.
•Turn the dust collecting system on.
•Turn the jointer on.
•Periodically replace/empty bag in dust collecting system.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn the switch to OFF position and unplug
jointer/planer from power source before proceeding to do
maintenance work.
CHECKING FOR WORN BLADES
Condition of blades will affect precision of cut. If blade wear is not
observed when checking the blade height, the quality of cut will
indicate the blade condition. Dull blades will tear rather than sever
wood fiber. A raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on
wood where there is difference in density. A raised ridge will be
produced where the blades have been nicked.
SHARPENING BLADES
Refer to Figure 21.
The blades can be honed individually by whetting them with a fine
sharpening stone. Make sure oilstone is flat and is not worn.To
sharpen blades:
•Partially cover the stone with paper to protect the table top.
•Position infeed table so stone will contact blade along its
beveled surface.
•Stroke the stone across blade from one side to other while
stone is also moved slightly in the direction of feed.
•Make sure to do the same number of strokes on each place.
If the blades are nicked they must be replaced or reground.They
can be reground several times until they become 13/16″wide.
NOTE: Many shops do not have capabilities to resurface blades.
Yellow pages should list “Sharpening Services” or “Tool Grinding.”
Never install unbalanced blades or reground blades less than 13/16″
wide.
REPLACING BLADES
Refer to Figure 22.
•Unplug the jointer/planer from power source and turn the
switch to OFF position.
•Block the blade guard from closing down.
•Loosen and remove three blade lock screws securing blade and
blade clamp.
•Lift blade and blade clamp from cutterhead.
•Clean any sawdust and resin buildup from cutterhead and
blade clamp.
•Place blade clamp against the replacement blade and replace
in cutterhead.
•Secure blade and blade clamp using three blade lock screws.
Do not tighten blade lock screws.
NOTE: Check blade height at both ends of blade (see “Adjusting
Blade Height”, page 7).
•Tighten blade lock screws.
•Recheck blade adjustment and make sure blade is still level
with outfeed table.
•Repeat the procedure to replace the other blade.
•Remove the scrap wood and release blade guard.
•Make sure all the blade lock screws are tight and snug.
ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD
Refer to Figure 25, page 14.
CAUTION: Do not lubricate the pivot point of the blade guard. Oil
and lubricating products may contain chemicals that can damage
and/or destroy blade guard or other plastic parts.
The blade guard needs adjustment or spring replacement if it does
not cover the cutterhead when released.To adjust or replace
spring:
•Lay the jointer/planer on the side so that the switch is facing
upward.
•Remove four screws and bottom cover (Ref. Nos. 37 and 54).
•Loosen and remove screw, washer and spring (Ref. Nos. 13, 12
and 11) under the base that secures the blade guard.
•Slide out blade guard.
•If the spring is out of tension, it must be replaced. Remove
screw (Ref. No. 8) that retains spring.
•Replace new spring so that the short arm of the spring is held
by screw (Ref. No. 8).
•Position blade guard so that the long arm of the spring is
against the wall of the blade guard.
•Secure blade guard using spring, washer and pan head screw.
•Replace bottom cover. Secure with screws.
•Make sure blade guard functions appropriately.
REPLACING DRIVE BELT
Refer to Figures 23 and 25, pages 10 and 14.
•Turn the switch to OFF position and unplug the tool from
power source.
•Lay the jointer/planer on the side so that the switch is facing
upward.
•Remove four screws and bottom cover (Ref. Nos. 37 and 54).
•Remove two screws and access cover (Ref. Nos. 37 and 38).
•Remove fan belt (Ref. No. 31) from cutterhead pulley by turning
belt and maintaining pressure.

MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
•Remove four bolts (Ref. No. 24) that retain motor mounting
plate (Ref. No. 49).
•Remove drive belt (Ref. No. 53).
•Replace with new drive belt. Make sure belt seats fully in
grooves of both pulleys and install motor plate to base with
the four bolts. Do not completely tighten bolts.
•Push motor assembly towards the right to apply tension to the
drive belt.Tighten bolts securely.
•Replace fan belt onto cutterhead pulley, making sure belt seats
properly in grooves of both pulleys.
•Replace access cover using two screws.
•Replace bottom cover using four screws.
REPLACING FAN BELT
•Turn the switch to OFF position and unplug the tool from
power source.
•Lay the jointer/planer on the side so that the switch is facing
upward.
•Remove four screws and bottom cover (Ref. Nos. 37 and 54).
•Remove two screws and access cover (Ref. Nos. 37 and 38).
•Loosen chip exhaust housing (Ref. No. 21) by removing two
socket head bolts (Ref. No. 24).
•Remove old fan belt and place new belt over fan pulley.
•Attach chip exhaust housing to base with the two belts.
•Pull belt over cutterhead pulley making sure the belt seats in
grooves of both pulleys.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Jointer/planer will operate best if it is kept in good operating con-
dition. Keep unit adjusted as described in “Operation.”
•Do not allow gum and pitch to accumulate on the tables, fence,
blades and blade guard.
•Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and the fence
so that the wood slides easily while feeding.
•Keep blades sharp (see “Sharpening Blades”, page 9). Sometimes
replacing blades is less expensive than resurfacing them.
Keeping a spare set of blades on hand is recommended. Blades
should always be sharpened or replaced in sets of two.
LUBRICATION
WARNING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
tool is disconnected from the power source.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, penetrat-
ing oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts.They contain chemi-
cals that can damage and/or destroy plastics.
•Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need no
lubrication.
•Fence, fence bracket and elevation screws should be cleaned of
debris and greased as needed.
MACHINED SURFACES
•Surface of tables and fence must be kept smooth and clean for
easy work feed.
•Apply a paste wax to surfaces to keep them slick and prevent
corrosion.
BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING: Turn jointer off and disconnect from power source.
Brush life depends on amount of load on motor. Regularly inspect
brushes after 100 hours of use. Brushes are located on either side
of motor.
Refer to Figure 25, page 14.
•Loosen brush cap (Ref. No. 44) and remove brush (Ref. No. 45)
from motor.
•Replace brushes if springs are worn.
•Replace brushes if carbon is worn to 3/8″length or less.
NOTE: Replace brushes in sets only.
•Replace brushes and tighten brush cap.
