The guard helps protect the operator from the spinning cutter and flying debris during opera-
tion. Never operate the dovetail machine or allow it to be connected to power when the guard is
removed or serious personal injury may occur.
The machine may eject boards in the horizontal position if they are not clamped
securely. Never allow others to stand directly behind the dovetail machine during operation or serious
injury may occur.
Even with the guard in place, occasional chips may be ejected from the machine.
Operator and bystanders MUST wear ANSI approved safety glasses to prevent eye injuries.
Starting the machine with the cutter against a workpiece or fence may
eject debris from the machine and most likely will ruin the workpiece or cutter. Move the cutter clear
of any contact before starting the machine!
This machine requires the operator to work
near the exposed cutter during setup. Always disconnect power BEFORE making adjustments to the
machine or serious personal injury may occur.
Starting the machine with a loose cutter may eject the cutter from the machine at
a high rate of speed, causing serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders. Always double-
check that the cutter is tight after adjusting.
Starting the machine with a wrench left in the spindle adjustment
screw can result in serious personal injury. Always remove any wrenches or other adjustment tools
from the machine after adjustments have been made and before starting the machine.
Using dust collection when operating this machine greatly reduces flying debris
and fine airborne dust, which reduces the risk of personal injury from these hazards. Always use a
dust collection system when operating this machine.

This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your machine.
Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
The table and other unpainted parts of your
dovetail machine are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo-
rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

The Model W1805 is designed to be lifted from two eye
bolts mounted near the top of the machine, on both
sides, using a forklift with lifting straps. The lifting straps
can be connected to the eye bolts with metal shackles.
Unbolt the base of the dovetail machine from the
shipping pallet (), so it can be removed for
placement.
Connect the lifting straps to the eye bolts, using
shackles, as shown in .

Although not required, we recommend mounting your new
machine to the floor. Since this is an optional step and
floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not
included.
Lag shield anchors used with lag bolts () and
anchor studs () are two popular choices for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for mounting your
machine and choose the best that fits your specific appli-
cation.
NOTICE

Attach the dust port to your dust collection system with a
4" hose, as shown in .
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must take into account many variables, includ-
ing the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of
hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust
collection "how-to" book.

This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor-
rectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine.
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced dovetail machine operator before
performing any unfamiliar operations.

Stock preparation is one of the most important steps for
cutting dovetails. Stock must be properly squared up or
the dovetails will not fit in the sockets tightly or evenly.
With proper planning and preparation, you can achieve
perfect results.
When selecting your stock, make sure that the stock size
is within the minimum and maximum dimensions that this
machine is capable of processing (see ).
The first consideration when preparing your stock is to
determine the width (height of drawer). The dovetail
machine includes a 4-sided template with the following
sizes: 1", 1
1
⁄2", 2", and 2
1
⁄2".
To achieve perfect dovetail spacing from edge-to-edge,
the stock width should be a multiple of the template size.
For example, when using a 1
1
⁄2" template, the stock width
should divisible by 1
1
⁄2". Refer to for more
examples.
If you do not have control over the stock width,
you can still use the machine, but the half-pins on each
edge will not be the same size.
