OPERATION

FEEDING STOCK

1.Place the surface to be jointed face down on the infeed table and against the fence. Turn the jointer on and wait for the motor to come to full speed.

2.Apply light downward pressure and slowly feed the stock through the spring-loaded cutter guard and over the cutting head.

IMPORTANT: When feeding stock horizontally, with the width of the board laying flat against the table, always use safety paddles or a push stick, as shown in Figure 13. When feeding stock vertically, with the

width of the board flush against the fence, always keep fingers on top of the board. See Figure 14.

3.Keep moving the board until it clears the cutter.

4.Turn the jointer off and wait for the cutterhead to come to a stop before removing the stock.

The fence can adjust to an inward 45° angle and an outward 45° angle, enabling you to joint beveled stock. To adjust the fence tilt, do the following:

OUTWARD 45° ANGLE:

See Figure 15.

1.Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle (A) counterclockwise.

2.Pull the spring-loaded pin (B) up and pull the 45°/90° Stop (C) back slightly.

3.Release the spring-loaded pin and continue pulling the 45°/90° Stop until it locks in position.

4.Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle. If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the 45°/90° Stops” on page 14.
