•
Turn the cutterhead so that one of the blades is at
the highest position.
CAUTION:
The cutterhead blades are extremely
sharp. Do not let your fingers contact the cutting edge
at any time.
•
Place a straightedge over the outfeed table and the
blade.

•
The straight edge must touch evenly on the outfeed
table at both ends of the blade.
•
Turn the cutterhead slowly, and check if the blade
lightly touches the straight edge.
•
If the straightedge raises, loosen the blade clamp
screws and adjust blade height using the jack
screws. If the blade does not touch the straightedge,
loosen the blade clamp screws and raise the blade
by using the jack screws.

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
Jointer/planer is a precision woodworking machine and
should only be used on quality lumber. Using bad lumber
could result in a poor quality cut on subsequent pieces.
For proper operation, it is preferable to use the jointer with
a dust collecting system (see "Using a Vacuum Hose",
page 8) attached to the exhaust port in the rear of the
jointer. Attaching a dust collecting system is especially
required when taking deeper cuts to prevent clogging of
wood chips.
•
Do not use dirty boards. Dirt and stones are abrasive
and will wear blade.
•
Remove nails and staples. Jointer should only cut wood.
•
Avoid knots. Heavy cross-grain makes knots hard
and they can come loose and jam the jointer.
•
Assess value of badly warped boards. Operator can be
tempted to use too deep of cut to square boards quick-
ly. Use several passes to maintain a level surface.
ON-OFF
SWITCH
Refer to Figure 13.
The operating positions of the "On-Off" switch are locat-
ed on the front of your jointer/planer.
•
Push the switch up to turn jointer/planer
On and
push down to turn the unit Off.
•
The switch has a removable key that allows the unit
to be locked in the "Off" position.
To activate locking mechanism:
•
Push the switch to "Off" position.

FEEDING
WORKPIECE
Refer to Figures 14, 15, 16 and 17, pages 7 and 8.
Feed rate refers to rate at which wood is passed over
blades. An even feed will produce a uniform service. To
feed workpiece:
•
Hold the board firmly down on both tables and
against the fence.
•
Keep fingers close together.
•
Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed.
Any hesitation or stopping could cause a "step" to be
cut on the edge of the board.

•
As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead,
remove the leading hand.
