SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed.
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product.
Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guard, push sticks,
hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your
potential for injury. But even the best guard will not make up for poor judgment,
carelessness of inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the
workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, do not try it. Figure out an alternative
procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. We strongly recommends that
this machine not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it
was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use
the machine until you have first contacted your local dealer to determine if it can or should
be performed on the product.

result in the risk of injuries.
25. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
DEFINITIONS OF JOINTING AND PLANING OPERATIONS
Jointing Operations - Jointing cuts or edge jointing is the simplest and most common
operation, which can be done on the jointer, and these cuts are made to square an edge
of a workpiece. The fence is square with the table and the depth of cut is approximately
1/8 inch. 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 fence, as shown

MB502 6” Deluxe Jointer
５
in Fig.2. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the cutterhead to the
outfeed table. The hand over the outfeed table presses the work down so that the newly
formed surface will make perfect contact with the table. The hand over the infeed table
(usually the right hand) exerts no downward pressure, but simply advances the work to
the cutterhead. Both hands exert pressure to keep the work in contact with the fence.
Fig. 2
Planning Operations – Planning or surfacing are identical to the jointing operation except
for the position of the workpiece. For planning, the major flat surface of the workpiece is
placed on the infeed table of the jointer with the narrow edge of the workpiece against the
fence, as shown in Fig.3. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the
cutterhead to the outfeed table establishing a flat surface on the workpiece. Always use
push blocks when performing planning operations.

KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
In order to do accurate work, the knives must be exactly level with the outfeed table. To
check and adjust, proceed as follows.
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Place a steel straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the cutterhead.
3. CAREFULLY rotate the cutterhead by turning the belt by hand. The knives should just
touch the straight edge.
4. If the knife is high or low at either end, slightly turn the four screws, in the knife-locking
bar clockwise to loosen using the wrench. Then adjust the height of the knife by turning
the knife raising screws, counterclockwise to lower and clockwise to raise the knife. NOTE:
If the knife is to be lowered it will be necessary to carefully push down on the knife after
screws have been turned.
5. Repeat these procedures for adjusting the remaining two knives if necessary.
6. If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 21, and the finished

MB502 6” Deluxe Jointer

surface will be curved.
Fig. 43
7. If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged at the end of the cut, as shown in
Fig. 44.
Fig. 44
8. As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches. The wood
should rest firmly on both tables as shown in Fig. 45, with no open spaces under the
finished cut.

ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS
“Gibs” are provided to take up all play between the mating dovetail ways of the base and
the infeed and outfeed tables. The “gib” for the infeed table is shown at (A) Fig. 46, and
the “gib” for the outfeed table is shown at (B) Fig. 47. Proper “gib” adjustment is necessary
for the correct functioning of the jointer. The “gibs” were adjusted at the factory and should
require no further adjustment. If, However, it becomes necessary to adjust the “gibs”
proceed as follows.
1.To adjust the infeed or outfeed table “gibs”, loosen three locknuts (F) Fig. 46, for the
infeed table or two locknuts (G) Fig. 47, for the outfeed table.
2. Tighten or loosen three gib adjustment screws (C) Fig. 46, as necessary for the infeed
table or two gib adjustment screws (D) Fig. 47, as necessary for the outfeed table; starting
with the lower screw first and as you proceed to the top screw, gently raise the outboard
edge of the table that is being adjusted. This will offset any tendency for the table casting
to “droop or sag” and permit the gib to be adjusted to a secure fit.After the gibs have been
adjusted, tighten locknuts (F) Fig. 46, (G) Fig. 47.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the adjusting screws too loose. It should take a little bit of effort
to move the tables up or down. Jointers are finishing machines and you cannot expect to
get good accuracy or finish if the tables are set loose and sloppy.
FENCE OPERATION
The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt 45 degrees right or left at any
position on the table as follows.
1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 48, slide fence to the
desired position on the table and tighten lock handle (A). As the fence is moved across
the table, the rear cutterhead guard (B) covers and guards the cutterhead in back of
the fence. NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling
