ADJUSTING GIBS
The table gibs eliminate excessive play in the
table movement, and control how easy the
tables move up and down.
TO ADJUST THE TABLE GIBS:
1. Using a 10 mm
wrench, loosen the
three infeed table gib
nuts on the back of
the jointer base (Fig-
ure 79).
2. Oil the gibs if needed.
3. Using a 3 mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the
gib set screws a small amount, then check the
table by moving it up and down. Adjust the set
screws as needed until the friction of the table
movement is balanced between minimal play
and ease of movement.
NOTE: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it
harder to adjust the tables.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 with the outfeed table, and
oil the outfeed table lead screw, if needed.
5. Set the outfeed table height as described in
Setting Outfeed Table Height.

keeps it in position
(Figure 38).
To move the fence, loosen the lock and slide
the fence where needed, then retighten the
lock.
Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (Figure 39) secures
the fence at any position in the available
range.
The plunger locks the fence tilt for 90° cuts.
Two positive stops stop the fence at 45° inward
and 45° outward for common 45° bevel cuts.
Even when the fence is resting against the
positive stops, the tilt lock must be tightened
before cutting. Also, the plunger must be dis-
engaged for 45° outward bevel cuts.
