The W1829 6" Jointer is a benchtop machine; its compact size makes for convenient placement in any
shop. It mounts and dismounts quickly to a workbench making it portable when necessary.
It is primarily used to produce straight, flat faces on a workpiece, in order to properly square the
material for further layout, construction and joining.

AF@EK<IB@:B98:B% "Kickback"is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the
cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from “kick-
back.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, ;FEFK operate this machine.
:LKK<I?<8;8C@>ED<EK%Keep the edge of the cutterhead knives at top dead center (TDC) even with
the top edge of the outfeed table to avoid kickback and personal injuries.
NFIBG@<:<JLGGFIK%Supporting the workpiece adequately at all times while jointing is crucial for
making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.
GLJ?9CF:BJ% Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over
the cutterhead without a push block.
B@:B98:BQFE<% The "kickback zone" is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never
stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.
D8O@DLD:LKK@E>;<GK?% The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1⁄8". Never attempt any single
cut deeper than this!
AF@EK@E>N@K?K?<>I8@E. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could pro-
duce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.
:LKK<I?<8;>L8I;% All operations must be performed with the cutterhead guard in place. Always
ensure that the cutterhead guard is in proper working condition before operating the jointer.
GIFG<I :LKK@E>% When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until
the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed
table.
LJ@E>>FF;JKF:B%Jointing safety begins with the choice of stock. Inspect your stock carefully before
feeding it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have
any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.

This machine can be converted to operate on a 110V
power supply (details about voltage conversion can be
found later in this manual). The 110V power supply circuit
must have a verified ground and meet the requirements

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the

that might operate at one time during normal operations.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor life.
Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and
the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:

A NEMA 5-15 plug has a grounding prong that must be
attached to the equipment-grounding wire inside the

a matching receptacle (see Figure 3) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

additional reinforcement to support both
the weight of the machine and materials.

The tables and other unpainted parts of your
jointer are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

The strongest bench mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are
used to secure the machine to the workbench.
Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the
machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag
screw.

The W1829 has a built-in dust collection fan and chip
exhaust. It also includes a 2.5" dust port, clamp, and dust
collection bag. The W1829 can also be hooked up to a
pre-existing dust collection system.

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the
dust port, you must take into account many variables,
including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length
of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust
collection "how-to" book.

For your convenience, the adjustments listed below have
been performed at the factory and no further setup is
required to operate your machine.
However, because of the many variables involved with
shipping, we recommend that you at least verify the
following adjustments to ensure the best possible results
from your new machine.
Step-by-step instructions for these adjustments can be
found in Service on Page 28.
1. Knife settings (see Page 30).
2. Fence stop accuracy (see Page 33).

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine
to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular
operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety
disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review KiflYc\j_ffk`e^ on GX^\)/.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.

— When operating correctly, the machine runs
smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing

— Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises
or vibrations before operating the machine further.
Always disconnect the machine from power when
investigating or correcting potential problems.
