Assemble dust chute cover (A) Fig. 14, to dust chute (B) using two wing screws (C). IMPORTANT: Top of dust chute cover (A) must be inside top brace (D) of stand.
MOTOR PULLEY Assemble motor pulley (A) Fig. 16, to motor shaft with the hub of the pulley in the outer position as shown. Make sure key (B) is inserted in the keyway of the motor pulley and shaft. C A B BELT, ALIGNING PULLEYS, AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION Fig. 16 1. Loosen two screws, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 17, and remove cutterhead pulley guard (B) 2. Make certain the motor pulley (D) Fig. 18, is aligned with the cutterhead pulley (C).
MOTOR PULLEY AND BELT GUARD Assemble the motor pulley and belt guard (A) Fig. 19, to the jointer base using the four M6x1x10mm cheese head screws, two of which are shown at (B), and four M6.1 lockwashers. MAKE CERTAIN MOTOR PULLEY IS NOT CONTACTING GUARD. B If motor pulley is contacting the guard, adjust the motor pulley, see the section “BELT, ALIGNING PULLEYS, AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION.” A Fig. 19 B FENCE 1. Insert hexagon rod (A) Fig. 20, of fence assembly into bracket (B) on jointer as shown.
CUTTERHEAD GUARD 1. Remove set screw (A) Fig. 23, from post (B) of cutterhead guard (C). C B 2. Assemble cutterhead guard (C) Fig. 23, to the jointer by inserting post (B) down through the hole in the infeed table. NOTE: A spring is supplied in knob assembly (D) that returns the guard (C) over the cutterhead after a cut has been made. Turn knob (D) to tension spring before inserting post (B). Make certain the spring engages in the slot of the post.
INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS 1. To raise or lower the infeed table, loosen table lockhandle (A) Fig. 35, move the table raising and lowering handle (B) up or down until the table is at the desired position and tighten table lockhandle (A). A B 2. NOTE: When raising or lowering the infeed table a plunger located on other end of the index stop (C) Fig. 36, automatically stops the table at 1/8 inch depth of cut.
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 POWER SOURCE. MACHINE C FROM A A 2. Loosen lock lever (A) Fig. 39, and lower the infeed table by pushing handle (B) down. Remove cutterhead guard (C). 3. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the cutterhead as shown in Fig. 40. 4. CAREFULLY rotate the cutterhead by turning the belt by hand.
ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS F “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 it becomes necessary to adjust the “gibs”, proceed as follows: C F C 1.
ADJUSTING FENCE POSITIVE STOPS The fence on this jointer is equipped with positive stops that allow you to rapidly tilt the fence to the 90 and 45 degree angle to the table in the inward or outward position. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: E B C A 1. Position the fence at 90 degrees to the table. Make certain the end of plunger (A) Fig. 50, is engaged in notch (B) in index collar as shown, and tighten lockhandle (C). Fig. 50 2. Place a square (D) Fig.
B A C A Fig. 55 Fig. 56 ADJUSTING FENCE GUARDS Two guards, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 55, are provided on each side of the fence bracket to close up the opening between the fence bracket (B) and the fence (C) limiting access to the cutterhead. When the fence is tilted, the guard (A) Fig. 56, can be pushed to the rear as shown. After the fence is returned to the 90 degree position, push the guard (A) Fig. 56, forward to close up the opening. Fig. 55, illustrates the guard (A) properly adjusted.
Mating surfaces of cutterhead to blade and blade to bar to be tight and parallel 9. The knives are adjusted correctly when the cutting edge of the knife extends out .060" (1.5 mm) from the cutterhead diameter. Face of screw and face of cutterhead to be parallel 10. Carefully rotate the cutterhead (G) Fig. 60, until the round portion of the cutterhead is on top as shown. 11. Place a .060" (1.5 mm) feeler gage (H) Fig.
DEFINITIONS OF JOINTING AND PLANING OPERATIONS Fig. 62 Fig. 63 1. JOINTING OPERATIONS – Jointing cuts or edge jointing are made to square an edge of a workpiece. 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 in Fig. 62. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the cutterhead to the outfeed table. 2.
PLANING OR SURFACING Planing or surfacing is identical to the jointing operation except for the position of the workpiece. For planing, 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, a shown in Fig. 67.
PLANING WARPED PIECES If the wood to be planed is dished or warped, take light cuts until the surface is flat. Avoid forcing such material down against the table; excessive pressure will spring it while passing the knives, and it will spring back and remain curved after the cut is completed. PLANING SHORT OR THIN WORK When planing short or thin pieces, always use push blocks to minimize all danger to the hands. Fig. 70, illustrates using the Delta Push Blocks properly.
MAINTENANCE After considerable use, the knives will become dull and it will not be possible to do accurate work. Unless badly damaged by running into metal or other hard material, the knives may be sharpened as follows: WHETTING KNIVES DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. Use a fine carborundum stone, cover it partly with paper as indicated in Fig. 70 to avoid marking the table.
