The Model W1814 is wired for 110V operation. We
recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated
circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit size below
as a minimum. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of
higher amperage without consulting a qualified electrician
to ensure compliance with wiring codes.
This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord
supplied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. If
your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it
replaced by a qualified electrician.

We do not recommend using an extension cord; however,
if you have no alternative, use the following guidelines:
• Use a cord rated for Standard Service (S).
• Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.
• Ensure that the cord has a ground wire and pin.
• Use the gauge size listed below as a minimum.

The table 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 Model W1814 MUST be securely fastened to a
workbench before it can be safely operated. An unsecure
jointer may shift during operation and cause serious
personal injury.
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 jointer to the workbench.
Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where
the machine is simply secured to the workbench with lag
screws.
Mount the jointer to your workbench now.

The knives MUST be level with the outfeed table when

1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

knives lift the straightedge and move it more than
