SAFETY RULES FOR JOINTERS

1. KEEP cutterhead sharp and free of all rust and pitch.

2. ALWAYS use a push block when jointing stock that does not give reasonable distance

of safety for your hands.

3. NEVER pass hands directly over the cutterhead.

4. ALWAYS make sure exposed cutterhead behind the fence is guarded, especially

when jointing near the edge.

5. DO NOT perform jointing or planing operations on material shorter than 8 inches,

narrower than 3/4 inch, or thinner than 1/2 inch.

6. MAINTAIN the proper relationship between the infeed and outfeed table surfaces and

cutterhead knife path.

7. SUPPORT the workpiece adequately at all times during operation, maintain

control of the work at all times.

8. DO NOT back the workpiece towards the infeed table.

9. DO NOT attempt to perform abnormal or little-used operations without study and use

of adequate holddown/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, etc..

10. DO NOT make cuts deeper than 1/8’’ in a single pass. On cuts more than 1/2’’ wide,

adjust depth of cut to 1/16’’

POWER CONNECTIONS

Set aside an electrical circuit that is used exclusively for tools. It should be at least a #12 wire

and protected with a 15 AMP time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power source,

make sure that the voltage is the same as indicated on the machine, and that the machine is

turned off. Check all connections for good contact. WARNING: If the machine runs on

nsufficient voltage, damage to the motor may occur.

GROUNDING

Failure to adequately ground the machine may result in electric shock to the operator. Always

use a three prong extension cord and outlet. If there is any doubt that the outlet is not grounded

properly, have it checked by a certified electrician. Only use three to two adapters temporarily.

EXTENSION CORDS

Check the condition of the extension cord regularly. Use a three wire extension cord with a

three prong plug, and make sure it is plugged into an appropriate three hole receptacle. If you

must use a two prong adapter temporarily, make sure the grounding extension on the adapter

is connected to a permanent ground. Do not bend the grounding plug to fit it into a two hole

receptacle. Remember to use a cord heavy enough to carry the jointer’s current. If the cord

length is under 25 feet for 110V operation, and under 50 feet for 220V operation, use at least

a 14 AWG gauge extension cord. If the cord length is between 25 and 50 feet for 110V

operation, and between 50 and 100 feet for 220V, use at least a 12 AWG gauge extension cord.

Do not use cords longer than 50 feet and 100 feet for 110V and 220V operations respectively.

CHANGING VOLTAGE

This machine is set up at the factory for 110V

use. To change the voltage to 220V, disconnect

the machine from its power source and follow

the electrical diagram as shown below.

DEPTH OF CUT LIMIT

1. Never cut to a depth of more than 1/8 of an inch in a single feed.

2. The infeed table is fitted with a depth limit guard (A) to prevent cuts exceeding 1/8 of

an inch.

3. The lock lever (B) will engage when the depth of the cut exceeds 1/8 of an inch.

4. Before moving the infeed table, pull out the lock lever (B) to disengage it.

MOUNTING THE JOINTER ONTO THE STAND

1. The stand top has been predrilled with three holes for fastening the jointer onto the

enclosed stand.

2. The infeed end of the jointer should be fastened to the front two holes (A) of the stand.

3. The outfeed end of the jointer should be fastened to the rear single hole (B) of the

stand.

4. Tighten the jointer to the stand using the three special bolts (C) furnished with the

machine.

MOUNTING THE MOTOR ONTO THE STAND

Attach the motor to the bottom of the dust chute using the four 5/16’’ bolts (A), flat

washers, and hex nuts. Do not fully tighten the hex nut at this time, because the

motor will need to be adjusted for belt tension.

MOUNTING THE FENCE ONTO THE TABLE

1. The fence (A) shall be mounted at the rear side of the table.

2. Before installing the fence, remove the lock nut from the fixing shaft (F).

3. Place the fence on the table and align the slot (C) with the gib (D), then insert the

fixing shaft (F) through the opening (E).

4. Fit the lock nut on the fixing shaft (F).

1. Before adjusting the fence at a 90

angle, adjust the positionning of the infeed

table. Adjust the infeed table so that it is parallel with the outfeed table.

2. Loosen the lock lever (A). Move the fence towards the front of the machine so

that it leans on the table.

3. Place a straight edge ruler on the table and against the fence.

4. Verify to see if the fence is at a 90

angle to the table.

5. If the fence is not at a 90

angle to the table, please use the following instructions;

6. Loosen the stop nut (B), flip the 90

set plate (C) and screw in stop bolt (D) and

adjust the fence to a 90

angle with your straight edge ruler.

7. Replace set plate, unscrew stop bolt until it touches the set plate and tighten the stop

nut (B) after having adjusted the fence at a 90

angle.

2. Unlock lock handle (A). Flip set plate (B) upwards and pull on fence lever (C) to tilt the

fence backward.

To obtain a 45

angle, place a precision combination square on the table and against

the fence. Screw in 45

WARNING!

Tighten the knife fixing screws

securely, otherwise a serious

accident may occur.

ARNING!

The knives are very sharp, care

should be taken when replacing

the knives.

REPLACING THE KNIVES

1. Before replacing the knives, be sure to disconnect the machine from the

power source.

2. Remove the cutterhead guard.

3. Loosen the four fixing screws (A) that tighten the knives.

4. Remove the knife (C).

5. Remove the fixing gib (B).

6. Clean all parts and the cutterhead slot before mounting the knives.

7. Fit the fixing gib and fixing screws.

8. Mount the knives. Ensure that the edge of the knife is facing in the correct

direction.

9. Adjust the knife height so that it is 1/16’’ over the cutterhead drum.

10. Tighten the fixing screws securely.

11. Make the height adjustment for the three knives so that they are at the same

height.

12. Make knife adjustments to the outfeed table.

KNIFE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. The knife height should be adjusted so that it is 1/16’’ over the cutterhead drum.

2. Use knife gauge (E) to adjust the knife height. The knife gauge must come in

contact with the knife. T

o do so, use a hex. key to turn the screw (D) to make

contact with the knife gauge. Tighten the fixing screws (A).

WARNING!

Tighten the fixing screws

securely, otherwise a serious

accident may occur.

ADJUSTING THE KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE

1. Turn off and unplug the machine.

2. Adjust the height of the rear table until it is 1/16’’ above the cutterhead drum. To

make this adjustment, place a steel gauge (B) on the table, and use a thickness

gauge (A) of 1/16’’

to obtain the correct height.

The knives must not only be adjusted to the same height as the outfeed table, but

they need to be precisely with it. If the knives are not exactly even with the outfeed

table, perform the following.

3. Place the steel gauge across the knife edge and outfeed table.

4. The outfeed table and steel gauge should be at the same height.

5. If the outfeed table and the steel gauge are not at the same height, then adjust

the height of the knives.

6. IMPORTANT: When checking the same height between the knife edges and the

outfeed table, it is important to check both ends of each knife. This will keep the

knives and the outfeed table parallel.

ADJUSTING THE KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE

7. If the knives are too low, then the worked surface will be slightly curved. (See Figure C).

8. If the knives are too high, then the work will be gouged at the end of the cut. (See Figure D).

9. To check for proper knife adjustment, cut the workpiece about 1/3 of its full length. The

workpiece should be flush with the infeed table and outfeed tables, with no open spaces

under the cut surface. (See Figure E).

MOUNTING PULLEY ONTO THE MOTOR

1. Fit the pulley (A) onto the shaft with the hub of

the pulley facing outwards.

2. The key must be inserted into the keyway between

the motor pulley and shaft.

3. Tighten the two set screws on the hub securely.

4. Align the pulleys by using a straight edge.

MOUNTING THE V-BELT

1. This jointer uses a size A-36 V-belt.

2. Before mounting the V-belt, you must align both pulleys. Ensure that the straight

edge press against the sides of both pulleys to make the alignment adjustments.

3. Once the pulleys are properly aligned, place the V-belt onto the cutterhead pulley

and motor pulley.

4. Make tension adjustments to the V

-belt after the new belt has been installed.

5. Check to see if the V-belt can run freely when turning the V-belt slowly.

WARNING!

Avoid getting fingers caught when

turning the V-belt by hand.
