SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

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 adjust- ment process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Table Gibs

Always lock the table with the table lock before using the jointer. If this step is not observed, the table could slide down while the jointer is operating. Serious personal injury may occur.

The function of the gibs are to allow precise adjustment of the table movement along the dovetail ways. Adjustment of the gib will dictate how easy it will be to move the tables up and down with the levers or handwheels. To adjust gibs:

1.Unscrew the upper and lower check nuts on the infeed table several turns, leaving the lock handle tight. See Figure 14.

2.With one hand securely on the lever bar, loosen the table lock handle and adjust the

3.Once the gib has been properly adjusted, tighten check nuts and repeat Steps 1-2for the outfeed table.

4.Make sure there is no side-to-side movement of the tables once the check nuts have been tightened. If there is, repeat Steps 1-4.

Knives

These knives are extremely sharp. Never grab the cutterhead directly to rotate it. Always use the drive pulley. Always be sure the jointer is disconnected from its power source before you make any adjustments. Serious personal injury may occur.

KNIFE INSPECTION

The knives of your jointer must be periodically replaced or adjusted. Adjustments should be as precise as possible with tolerances within .002"-

.003" to prolong the sharpness of the knife edges. Improperly adjusted knives can unbalance the cutterhead and shorten bearing life, as well as produce substandard jointing or planing results. The knives are set at the factory using jack screws
