NOTE: As you proceed toward the top Adjust-
ing Screw, raise up gently on the outer edge
of the Rear Table (3B). This will offset any
tendency of the Table casting to droop or sag
and permit the Gib (5B) to be raised to a more
proper fit.
7. When all three Gib Adjusting Screws (35B)
have been retightened, make sure to retighten
the Lock Screw (37B).
8. Adjustments to the Front Table's Gib (5B) are
performed in the same manner as mentioned
above.
TO ASSEMBLE THE CUTTER HEAD GUARD
1. To attach the Cutter Head Guard (42B) to the
Jointer, insert the assembly down through the
hole in the Front Table (2B) (See Figure 13).
2. A Torsion Spring (28B) is provided in the
Spring Knob (29B) that returns the Cutter Head
Guard (42B) over the Cutter Head Assembly
(8B) after a cut has been made.
3. Turn the Spring Knob (29B) to put tension
on the Torsion Spring (28B) before inserting
the post down through the hole in the Front
Table (2B).
NOTE: Make sure the Spring in the Spring Knob
engages the slot located at the end of the post.
4. If the spring tension is too much, or not
enough, remove the Cutter Head Guard (42B)
and adjust the spring tension accordingly by
rotating the Spring Knob (29B).
TO ADJUST THE CUTTER HEAD ASSEMBLY
1. The three Knives (16B) on the Cutter Head
Assembly (8B) must always be kept sharp for
proper performance. Should the Knives need
to be sharpened or replaced, follow the below
listed steps.
2. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM ITS ELEC-
TRICAL POWER SOURCE.
3. Place a Knife (16B) in its groove in the Cut-
ter Head Assembly (8B) so that the rear edge
of the bevel is 1/16" from the surface of the
Cutter Head.
4. Slide the Knife Stock Bar (14B) into place and
lightly tighten the Knife Set Screws (17B).
5. Place a "Knife Setting Bar'' made of a piece
of flat scrap piece of wood, approximately 12"
long, on the Rear Table (3B) (See Figure 14).
6. Open the panel on the Left Protective Plate
(28A) (See Figure 3).

ter Head Assembly by placing your hand on it.
8. While slowly rotating the Cutter Head As-
sembly backward, adjust the Knife (16B) until
it just touches the scrap piece of wood.
9. Using the scrap piece of wood as a guide,
check to make sure the Knife (16B) at each end
is parallel to the top of the Rear Table (3B).
10. Repeat the above Steps for the remaining
two Knives (16B).
11. Close the panel on the Left Protective Plate
(28A) (See Figure 3).
TO ADJUST THE FENCE
1. The Fence Body (4B) can be moved across
the Front Table (2B) and Rear Table (3B), and
tilted 45 degrees right or left at any position
on the Tables by means of the Handle (53B)
(See Figure 15).
