Push the blades down with a piece of wood as far as possible and
tighten the bolts (B)
Fig. 44 by turning each one counterclockwise just enough to hold
the blade in position. Replace the remaining two blades in the
same manner.
NOTE: The blades will be properly installed as shown in Fig. 46.
9. The blades are set correctly when the cutting edge of the
blade extends 1.52 mm (0.060") beyond the diameter of the
cutting head.
10. Carefully rotate the cutting head (G) Fig. 48 manually until
the round part of the cutting head is in the upper position as
shown.
11. Place a 1.52 mm (0.060") gauge (H) Fig. 47 on the cutterhead
and using a straight edge (J) on the outfeed table, adjust the
height of the outfeed table until it is 1.52 mm (0.060") above
the cutterhead diameter as shown.
12. Secure the outfeed table in position and remove the caliper
(H).
13. Lower the infeed table and place a ruler (J) Fig. 47 on the
outfeed table extending it over the cutting head as shown.
14. Rotate the cutting head by hand until the blade is at its highest
point on each side of the cutting head. To raise the blade, use
the wrench (E) Fig. 48 and turn the screw clockwise until the
blade touches the ruler (J) on each side and the center of the
cutting head when the blade is at its highest point. When you
are sure that the blade is properly adjusted, tighten the screws
(B) Fig. 44.
15. Adjust the remaining two blades in the same manner.
WARNING: Make sure all blades are securely fastened before
turning on the machine.
16. Replace the cutterhead guard after the adjustments are made.
Keep the surface of the cutter head parallel to the
blade and the blade parallel to the bar at its highest
point.
The face of the screw and the face of the cutting head
must be parallel.
WARNING: Make sure that the blades are installed correctly.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
After considerable use, the blades may become worn, dull and not
perform an accurate edging job. However, if they are damaged by
working with hard materials, they can be sharpened as follows:
SHARPENING BLADES
Disconnect the machine from the power source. Use a fine
carborundum (silicon carbide) stone, cover one side with paper
as shown in Fig. 49, to avoid marking the table. Place the stone on
the feed table, lower the table and rotate the cutting head forward
until the stone rests flat on the bevel of the blades as shown. Hold
the cutting head and sharpen the beveled edge of the blades, doing
the same all along it by sliding the stone across the table. Do the

same operation on each of the three blades
OPERATION
The following instructions will tell the novice operator how to
begin jointer operations. Use scrap parts to check calibrations
and make final adjustments to the operation before attempting
regular work.
WARNING: Always use the cutterhead guard and keep hands away
from the cutterhead blades. WHENEVER POSSIBLE USE SUPPORT
BLOCKS TO PUSH THE WORK MATERIAL
DEFINITION OF EDGING AND PLANNING OPERATIONS
EDGING OPERATION
Edging is the simplest and most common of the operations that
can be performed with the jointer and is done to square and edge
a workpiece. The fence is framed with the table and the depth of
cut is installed at approximately 1/8". The workpiece is installed
on the jointer with the narrow edge of the workpiece on the infeed
table and the part of the workpiece with the largest surface area
against the support fence, as shown in Figures 50 and 51. The
workpiece is passed from the infeed table through the cutting
head to the ejector or outfeed table.
