Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

INTRODUCTION
Controls & Components
Refer to Figures 1 & 2 and the following descriptions to
become familiar with the basic controls and components
of this machine. Understanding these items and how they
work will help you understand the rest of the manual and
stay safe when operating this machine.
A. Outfeed Table: Supports workpiece after it passes
over cutterhead.
B. Cutterhead Guard: Covers cutterhead until
pushed aside by workpiece during operation. When
workpiece leaves cutterhead, guard springs back to
its starting position. DO NOT operate jointer if guard
is not functioning properly.
C. Infeed Table: Supports workpiece before it reaches
cutterhead. Height of infeed table relative to
cutterhead determines depth of cut.
D. Infeed Table Adjustment Knob: Adjusts height of
infeed table to control depth of cut.
E. Table Height Lock Knob: Tighten to secure infeed
table position; loosen for table adjustment.
F. ON/OFF Paddle Switch w/Removable Key: Turns
motor ON when moved up; turns motor OFF when
pressed down. Removal of yellow key disables
switch, preventing motor operation.
G. Depth-of-Cut Scale: Shows depth of cut (per pass).
H. Fence: Supports workpiece laterally as it moves
across cutterhead; determines angle of cut when
edge or bevel joining.
I. Fence Bracket Assembly: Changes position of fence
relative to tables and secures it in position during
operation.
J. Dust Port: Connects machine to dust collection
system. ALWAYS remove dust port if operating
machine without a dust collection system.
K. Fence Slide Lock Handle: Adjusts position of fence
over tables. ALWAYS tighten lock before beginning
operations.
L. Fence Tilt Lock Handle: Secures fence tilt angle.
Fence tilt can be adjusted between 90º–135º. ALWAYS
tighten lock before beginning operations.
