ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED * Two hex wrenches (supplied) ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE - 30 minutes FENCE 1. Assemble the fence mounting bracket (A) Fig. 5 to the jointer base using the four M6x1x16mm button head screws (B) Fig. 6. A B B Fig. 5 Fig. 6 2. Assemble the fence sliding bracket (C) Fig.
3. 4. Insert a M6x1x16mm button head screw (G) Fig. 9 through fence tilting bracket (H) and thread a M6x1 square nut (J) onto threaded end of screw (G). DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN SCREW (G) AT THIS TIME. Assemble screw and square nut to opposite end of tilting bracket in the same manner. Slide groove of fence (L) Fig. 10 over square nuts (J). L H J J G Fig. 9 Fig. 10 5. Position fence (L) Fig. 11 so that rounded section (M) on bottom of fence is over cutterhead opening. 6.
CUTTERHEAD LOCK Assemble cutterhead lock (A) Fig. 15 to the front side of the jointer base, using the M6x1x12mm button head screw (B). NOTE: THE CUTTERHEAD LOCK (A) IS TO BE ENGAGED WITH THE CUTTERHEAD SHAFT (FIG. 15) ONLY WHEN SETTING KNIVES. ALL OTHER TIMES, THE CUTTERHEAD LOCK (A) SHOULD BE DISENGAGED FROM THE CUTTERHEAD (FIG. 16). A A B Fig. 15 Fig.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS A B Fig. 22 Fig. 21 STARTING AND STOPPING JOINTER 1. The on/off switch (A) Fig. 21 is located on the front of the jointer. To turn the machine “ON”, move switch (A) up to the “ON” position. 2. To turn the machine “OFF”, move the switch down to the “OFF” position. MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE, MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin shaving to 1/8" deep. A dual English/Metric scale (A) Fig. 24, and pointer (B) are provided to indicate the depth of cut. To adjust for depth of cut, loosen lock knob (C) and turn adjusting knob (D) clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise the infeed table. Raising the infeed table decreases the depth of cut, while lowering it will increase the depth.
6. 7. Using a square (C) Fig. 28, tilt the table to the 45 degree position and make sure the fence is 45 degrees to the table. Adjust the fence if necessary. Using supplied hex wrench (No. 10, Fig. 4A), turn set screw (H) Fig. 29, until it contacts stop (G). 8. These positive stops enable you to rapidly position the table to the 90 and 45 degree settings. MAKE SURE THE FENCE IS IN LEVEL CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE OF THE OUTFEED TABLE. H G C Fig. 29 Fig.
MATERIAL 6. If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 32, and the finished surface will be curved. OUT-FEED TABLE KNIVES SET TOO LOW IN-FEED TABLE CUTTER Fig. 32 MATERIAL 7. If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 33. IN-FEED TABLE OUT-FEED TABLE KNIVES SET TOO HIGH CUTTER GOUGE Fig. 33 MATERIAL 8. As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches.
MACHINE USE The following directions will give the beginner a start on jointer operations. Use scrap pieces of lumber to check the settings and to get the feel of the operations before attempting regular work. NOTE: The knives on the jointer will not wear evenly by feeding the wood through the same spot on the table every time. Feed the wood through the jointer at different spots on the table to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives. ALWAYS USE CUTTERHEAD GUARD AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTERHEAD.
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. 40, illustrates using the Push Blocks properly. Fig.
MAINTENANCE BELT REPLACEMENT When it becomes necessary to replace the belt on your jointer: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. B 1. Remove screw (A) Fig. 44, using hex wrench supplied, and remove belt guard (B). 2. Loosen three screws (C) Fig. 45, to release belt tension and remove belt (D) from pulleys. 3. Assemble new belt to the cutterhead and motor pulleys. Press down on motor pulley (E) Fig. 45, to tension belt and tighten three screws (C).
