Beginning Assembly

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is removed at the factory. Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before han- dling them or serious injury may occur.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire assem- bly process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Most of your Model G1182 6'' Jointer has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented here.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high quality square, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm open end wrenches, and a 3mm Allen® wrench.

For reference, assemble the stand so the dust chute end is on your left when facing the stand, and the power switch is on your right.
