Assembly
Exposed metal surfaces, such as the table and fence, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This coating should be removed with a soft cloth and solvent (such as mineral spirits) once the machine has been assembled. Do not use an abrasive pad as it may scratch the exposed surfaces.
NOTE: If any procedure described herein needs further clarification, consult the assembly drawings at the back of this manual.
Tools required for assembly:
3mm and 6mm hex (Allen) wrenches
17mm, 14mm, (two)12mm
Assembling Jointer to Stand
Refer to Figure 6.
1.Locate the stand on a level floor. If desired, the stand can be secured to the floor using two anchor bolts (not provided) through the holes inside the bottom of the stand. If using an optional mobile base, be sure to lock the wheels before assembling, operating or adjusting the jointer.
The jointer is very heavy.
Exercise proper caution when lifting it.
2.Use a hoist or forklift with straps, to lift the jointer onto the stand. (The front of the jointer should face the same direction as curved front of the stand.)
3.Shift the jointer atop the stand until the 3- hole pattern aligns in jointer base and stand.
4.Secure jointer base to stand with three 3/8”- 16 x
left hand hole, it may be easier to insert the
carriage bolt from beneath as shown.) OnlyFigure 6 finger tighten bolts until all three are
properly inserted; then fully tighten the hex nuts with a 14mm wrench and a 17mm wrench on the heads of the screws.
Cutterhead Guard
Place the post of the cutterhead guard (J, Figure
6)into the hole on the rabbeting ledge as shown. (Always use caution when working near the cutterhead knives!) Rotate the locking handle until it tightens into the groove on the cutterhead guard post.
