Basic Controls
This section covers the basic parts and controls used during routine operations. Refer to Figures
A.ON/OFF Switch: Starts and stops the cutterhead rotation.
The switch has a yellow safety
B.Depth of Cut Adjustment Knob: Changes the height of the infeed table to control the depth of cut.
C.Fence Tilting Handle: Locks the fence at the desired angle. Use fence stops to quickly set the fence to 90° (perpendicular to the tables), 45° inward, or 45° outward.
D.Fence Sliding Handle: Allows you to adjust the position of the fence over the tables. ALWAYS tighten it before you begin operations. The position of the fence determines the width of the cut as the workpiece moves over the cutterhead. NEVER operate the jointer if ANY part of cutterhead is exposed on the work area.
