OPERATION
FEEDING STOCK
1. Place the surface to be jointed face down on the
infeed table and against the fence. Turn the jointer
on and wait for the motor to come to full speed.
2. Apply light downward pressure and slowly feed the
stock through the spring-loaded cutter guard and
over the cutting head.
IMPORTANT: When feeding stock horizontally, with
the width of the board laying flat against the table,
always use safety paddles or a push stick, as shown
in Figure 13. When feeding stock vertically, with the
FIGURE 13 FIGURE 14
width of the board flush against the fence, always keep
fingers on top of the board. See Figure 14.
3. Keep moving the board until it clears the cutter.
4. Turn the jointer off and wait for the cutterhead to
come to a stop before removing the stock.
JOINTING BEVELED STOCK
Disconnect the machine from the
power source before making any
adjustments!
The fence can adjust to an inward 45° angle and an
outward 45° angle, enabling you to joint beveled stock.
To adjust the fence tilt, do the following:
OUTWARD 45° ANGLE:
See Figure 15.
1. Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle (A)
counterclockwise.
2. Pull the spring-loaded pin (B) up and pull the
45°/90° Stop (C) back slightly.
3. Release the spring-loaded pin and continue pulling
the 45°/90° Stop until it locks in position.
4. Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination
square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle.
If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the
45°/90° Stops” on page 14.
