OPERATIONS

Always wear safety glass- es during operations. Serious injury may occur if this is warning is ig- nored!

Always keep loose clothing and long hair secured and away from moving parts.

DO NOT operate this machine without an ade- quate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while in operation. Failure to use a dust col- lection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Always wear a dust mask and safety glasses in addi- tion to using a dust col- lector. This machine pro- duces sawdust that may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

Starting Jointer

Once assembly is complete and adjustments have been made, the jointer is ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to con- firm the machine is performing as intended.

1.With your finger poised to hit the STOP but- ton if there is a problem, turn on the joint- er by pressing the START button on the power switch.

2.Once the jointer is running, listen for any unusual noises. It should run smoothly with little or no vibrations. If there are any unusual noises or vibrations, shut the joint- er off immediately. It should not be run any further until the problems are corrected.

3.Unplug the jointer and investigate the source of the noise or vibration. Do not make any adjustments to the machine while it is plugged in.

4.Repeat Steps 1-4until the jointer runs smoothly.

Basic Operations

All operations on the jointer are made by plac- ing the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and the fence, and then passing the workpiece completely over the cutterhead.

Operational tips as well as specific types of cuts are mentioned further on in this section. If you are a beginner, it is a good idea to practice each new type of cut with the fence in the desired position, the tables set even and the machine turned off. Get a feel for board control and hand position, and practice feeding the board across the table while maintaining absolute control. When you are ready for the actual cut, keep in mind that shallow cutting depths allow you to have more control.
