FENCE ADJUSTMENTS
The fence can be moved across the table and can be
tilted
45
degrees right or left at any position on the
table by means of the dual-control handle.
To move the fence across the table, pull the fence
adjusting handle away
fran the machine until the handle
body (A) Fig. 16, engages the acorn nut
(B).
Loosen
the nut, move the fence to the desired position, and
retighten nut.
To tilt fence move the fence adjusting handle in to-
wards the machine, as shown in Fig. 16, to engage the
nut. Loosen nut and tilt the fence to the desired angle
right or left, and retighten nut. When tilting fence to
the right, stop block (C), Fig. 16, must be moved out of
the way.
The fence on your jointer features positive stops at the
most used fence positions of 90 degrees and
45
degrees,
right and left. Check the fence with a square to make
sure the fence is 90 degrees to the table. if an adjust-
ment is necessary loosen set screw
(D)
Fig.
16,
and
turn the adjusting screw
(E)
in or out against the stop
block (C) until the fence is at 90 degrees to the table.
Then tighten set screw
(D).
Check the positive stops
at
45
degrees right and left and adjust if necessary.
CUTTERHEAD MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
After considerable use, the knives will become dull and
it will not be possible to do accurate work. Unless
badly damaged by running into metal or other hard
material, they may be sharpened as follows:
WHETTING KNIVES
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
Use a fine carborundum stone; cover it partly with
paper as indicated in Fig.
17
to avoid marking the
table. Lay the stone on the front table, lower the table
and turn the cutter head forward until the stone lies flat
on the bevel of the knife, as shown. Hold the cutter
head from turning, and whet the bevelled edge of the
knife, stroking lengthwise by sliding the stone back and
forth across the table. Do the same amount of whetting
on each of the three blades.
COVERED
WITH
PAPER
WHETTING
KNIVES
SETTING KNIVES
If the knives are removed from the head for replacement
or regrinding, care must be used in re-setting them as
follows:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Place a knife in its groove so that the rear edge of
the bevel is
1/16" from the surface of the cutterhead.
3. Slip lock-bar into place and tighten lock screws
lightly.
4.
Place a knife setting bar, made of a piece of hard-
wood, approximately
12" long jointed straight on one
edge, on the rear table, as shown in Fig. 18.
5. Rotate head backwards by hand and adjust blade
until it just touches the gauge.
6.
Uqing bar, check blade at each end so that it is
parallel to table top and tighten the screws.
Fig.
18
7.
Insert the other two knives and repeat above
instruct ions.
CUTTERHEAD REPAIRS
When the knives cannot be properly- sharpened by the
methods described above, they must be ground to a
new bevel edge. In such case, or when bearings need
replacement, remove the entire cutterhead 'with bear-
ings and housings from the base and return it to the
factory.
Remove the nuts and washers (Item #52 and #53 of the
parts drawing) from the studs (Item
#51).
Lift the
cutterhead assembly straight up and remove from the
jointer. Then remove the studs from the cutterhead.
When installing the cutterhead in the jointer tighten
studs (Item
#51 of the parts drawing) firmly into the
bearing housing. Insert the cutterhead with studs into
the jointer and firmly tighten the two nuts (Item #53 of
the parts drawing).
BLADE CARE
Gum and Pitch which collects on the blades causes
excessive friction as the work continues, resulting in
over heating the blades, less efficient cutting, and con-
sequently loss of blade life. Use "Gum and Rust
Remover
"
to wipe this off the blades.
When these blades become dull enough so that it is
noticeable when cutting, they should be resharpened.
A sharp blade works easier and results in longer blade
life. The penalty paid for a dull blade is less blade
life and greater wear and tear on all parts of the machine.
In time rust may appear on the table and fence and
other parts of the jointer, resulting in less efficiency
and accuracy of the machine.
Use paste wax which can
be applied t o prevent rust formation.
if, however, rust
has already formed on these parts use "Rust Remover"
which will restore the machine to its original accuracy
when applied.
OPERATION
The following directions will give the beginner a start
on jointer operation. Use scrap pieces of lumber to
check settings and to get the feel of the operations
before attempting regular work. ALWAYS USE GUARD
AND
KEEP
HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTERHEAD.
PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work
firmly against the front table and fence, while the
right hand pushes the work toward the knives. After
the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on
the rear table as shown in Fig.
19.
The left hand should
press down on this part, at the same time maintaining
flat contact with the fence. The right hand presses the
work forward throughout, protecting the operator against
kick-back from the knives.
Fig. 19
JOINTING AN EDGE
This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set
the guide fence square with the table. Depth of cut
should be the minimum required to obtain a straight
edge. Hold the best face of the piece firmly against
the fence throughout the feed.
JOINTING WARPED PIECES
If the wood to be jointed is dished or warped, take light
cuts until the surface is flat. Avoid forcing such
material down against the table; excessive pressure
will spring it while passing the knives, and it will
spring back and remain curved after the cut is completed.
JOINTING SHORT OR THIN WORK
When jointing short or thin pieces, use a push block to
eliminate all danger to the hands. Two types are shown
in Fig.
20.
They are easily made from scrap material.
Fig.

\
DIRECTION OF GRAIN
Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain as
shown in Fig.
21.
The result will be chipped and
splintered edges.

WRCNG
FEED
-

THE

Fig. 21
Feed'with the grain as in Fig.
22
to obtain a smooth
surface.
The arm of the front table and ledge of the rear table
provide for cutting rabbets up to
114
inch deep and
4
inches wide. The operation is illustrated in Fig.
23.
The knife guard must be removed. Set the fence to con-
trol the width of rabbet, measuring from the end of the
knives to the face of the fence. Lower the front table
to determine the depth of cut. Feed slowly when mak-
ing a deep cut, to avoid splitting the wood. For wide
cuts, make two or more passes at increasing depths.
Use a push block when rabbeting the end of narrow stock.
Fig.
23
To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required angle and
run the work across the knives while keeping it firmly
against the fence and tables. Several passes may be
necessary to arrive at the desired result.
When the angle is small, there is little difference
whether the fence is tilted to the right or left. However,
at greater angles approaching
45
degrees, it is increas-
ingly difficult to hold the work properly when the fence
is tilted to the right. The advantage of the
double-
tilting fence is appreciated under such conditions.
When tilted to the left, the fence forms a V-shape with
the tables, and the work is easily pressed into the pocket
while passing it across the knives. If the bevel is laid
out on the piece in such direction that this involves
cutting against the grain, it will be better to tilt the
fence to the right.
TAPER CUTS
One of the most useful jointer operations
is cutting an
edge to a taper. The method can be used on a wide
variety of work. Tapered legs of furniture are a common
example.
Instead of laying the piece on the front table, lower the
forward end of the work onto the rear table. Do this
very carefully, as the piece will span the knives, and
they will take a "bite" from the work with a tendency
to kick back unless the piece is firmly held. Now push
the work forward as in ordinary jointing. The effect is
to plane off all the stock in front
of
the knives, to in-
crease depth, leaving a tapered surface.
The ridge left by the knives when starting the taper may
be removed by taking a
very light cut according to the
regular method for jointing, with the front table raised to
its usual position.
Practice is required in this operation, and the beginner
is advised to make trial cuts on waste material. Taper
cuts over part of the length and a number of other
special operations can easily be done by the experienced
craftsman.

Observe.

picture important points in jointing
an
edge. These are self-explanatory with
the possible exception of Fig.
6.
When
it is necessary to joint an edge of this
nature, pick out the central portion of
the curve, and make the first light cut
on this portion of the wood.
It
can be
seen that the stock has no fixed base-
line; hence, it must be held firmly for
this first cut. With a partial base made
in this manner, succeeding cuts can be
quickly made to bring the edge to a
true surface.
Side Pressure.
Side pressure is al-
ways required in order to keep the
work in contact with the guide fence,
and is very important when jointing
wide stock, as shown in Fig.
11.
Where
a considerable amount of wide work is
to be handled, it is advisable to fasten

PM-1547
All steel machine stands are drilled to accommodate
the machines for which they are intended. A complete
set of mounting bolts for both the motor and machine
are included with each stand. All machines are easily
mounted and should be tightened securely to avoid
vibration. Use the furnished lock washers in all in-
stances.
MOTOR MOUNTING
Motors will fit on the machine stands without
the use of shim blocks. Other motors vary in height.
Whenever the distance from the motor shaft to the
bottom of the motor foot is less than
4%
inches, a
shim block will be needed. Fig.
1
illustrates the use
of an easily made wooden shim block. For example,
when dimension A is
3%
inches, the thickness of the
shim must be
1%
inches in order to make up the
required
4%
inches.

having base holes that do not fit holes as drilled into
our stands.

MACHINE
STAND
The machine stand consists of hpper shelf, lower
shelf and four legs. These stands will vary in size,
that is, the shelves will have different shapes and sizes
and the legs will vary in length, but they are all as-
sembled in
the
same manner. The cap screws and
nuts used in assembling these various stands are all
the same size and length. Refer to Fig.
4.
These stands are shipped knocked down. To ship
them assembled they would be very bulky and
unhandy.
