firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the
cutterhead.
NOTE: If your leading hand gets within 4" of
the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-
head, and place the push block on the portion
of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table.
Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end
of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat
the same action with your trailing hand when
it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep
your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer
than 4" from the cutterhead when it is mov-
ing!
8. Repeat Step 7 until the your rabbet is cut
to depth.
WARNING: When the cutterhead guard is
removed, attempting any other cut besides
a rabbet directly exposes the operator to the
moving cutterhead. Always replace the cutter-
head guard after rabbet cutting!
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always disconnect power to the
machine before performing maintenance. Fail-
ure to do this may result in serious personal in-
jury.
SCHEDULE
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to
any specific instructions given in this section.
DAILY CHECK:
• Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.
• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted
cast iron with a metal protector.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
MONTHLY CHECK:
• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor.
LUBRICATION
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Below is a list of components that require pe-
riodic lubrication. Be careful not to over-lubri-
E N G L I S H •
cate these components. Large amounts of lu-
bricant will attract sawdust, causing the metal
components to gum up and bind.
· LEADSCREW: Lubricate the outfeed table lead
screw with light machine oil as needed. Wipe
off excess oil and sawdust with a cloth.
· GIBS: Lower the infeed and outfeed table to
access the gibs. Annually place a couple drops
of oil at the top of each gib and move the ta-
bles up and down to distribute the oil. Wipe
off excess oil.
· FENCE: Place one or two drops of light ma-
chine oil on the fence pivot points as needed.
CLEANING
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth,
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces. Treat all un-
painted cast iron and steel with a non-staining
lubricant after cleaning.
V-BELT
V-belt removal and replacement involves re-
moving the V-belt, rolling it off of the pulleys,
replacing it with a new belt, then re tension-
ing it.
Consider replacing the stock belt with a Power
Twist V-belt to reduce vibration and noise, and
increase belt lifespan.
TO ADJUST/REPLACE THE V-BELT:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2. Remove the rear access panel and belt guard.
3. Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the motor
mount bolts, raise the motor to remove the V-
belt tension.
NOTE: DO NOT completely remove the motor
mount bolts.
4. Remove the V-belt and replace it with a new
one.
5. Lower the motor
and adjust the V-belt
tension as needed so
there is approximately
1⁄4" deflection when
the V-belt is pushed
with moderate pres-
sure, as shown.
