Basic Jointer/Planer Cutting Operations

Depth of Cut Handwheel Operation

Turning the handwheel clockwise will lower the infeed table. This will cause more wood to be removed from the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will raise the infeed table causing less wood to be removed from the workpiece.

The maximum amount of wood that can be removed dur- ing one cut is 1/8".

Stop Pin Operation

A stop pin is supplied to prevent planing or jointing more than 1/8" depth of cut. Planing and jointing operations greater than 1/8" per pass are not recommended. Only rabbeting operations should be performed at cutting depths greater than 1/8". Never cut a full 1/2" rabbet in one cut. Cut in 1/8" depth increments until your full depth is acquired.

Feeding the Workpiece

Hold the board firmly down on both tables and against the fence. Keep fingers close together. Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed until the cut is made along the entire length of the board. Any hesitation or stopping could cause a “step” to be cut on the edge of the board which would cause the board to ride up on the out- feed table resulting in a “crooked” edge on the board.

As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead, remove the leading hand. Continue feeding while placing the leading hand behind the trailing hand. Continue feeding in this manner “hand over hand”, until the entire length of the board is cut. As soon as enough of the workpiece has been cut to do so, put pressure over the cutterhead and outfeed table.

Do not feed too fast. A slow steady rate of feed pro- duces a smooth accurate cut. Feeding too fast causes a “rippled” cut, makes it difficult to guide the workpiece accurately, and could be dangerous.

NOTE: Wood chips may accumulate inside the jointer/ planer. Periodically clean out the chips from the interior of the jointer/planer.

NOTE: Before cleaning wood chips.

Turn switch “OFF”.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Unplug the jointer/planer.

Feed with the grain whenever possible. If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be fed against the grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly.
