DeWalt 37-380 instruction manual Infeed Table Positive Stops, Outfeed Table Adjustments

2.Raise or lower the infeed table adjustment lever (C) Fig. 35.

3.IMPORTANT: When lowering the infeed table, a depth stop (D) Fig. 35, will automatically stop the table at a 1/8" depth-of-cut. To move the table past this point, the depth stop (D) Fig. 36, must be raised, while simultaneously lowering the infeed table. Always make certain table locking handles (A) Fig. 34, and (B) Fig. 35, are tight before operating the jointer. The locking handles are spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling outward on the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath the handle.

4.The depth-of-cut of the infeed table (position of the infeed table in relation to the cutting circle) is indicated on scale (E) Fig. 36. NOTE: Maximum depth-of-cut with this jointer is 1/2", which can be accomplished in cuts of 1/8" increments.

Positive stops are provided to limit the height and depth of the infeed table. To adjust the stops, loosen two locknuts (F) and (G) Fig. 37, and turn the two adjusting screws (J) and (K) as required. Then retighten the locknuts (F) and (G). A good suggestion is to set the upper positive stop (J) for your finish or final cut. This means that you will be able to rapidly set the infeed table for a finish or final cut without checking the scale and pointer. Also the lower positive stop (K) can be set for the maximum depth-of-cut or if you desire to limit the depth-of-cut, adjust the stop screw (K) accordingly.

1.	In order to perform accurate jointing operations, the
outfeed table must be exactly level with the knives at
their highest point of revolution. This means that the
knives must be parallel to the outfeed table and project
equally from the cutterhead.
2.	To move the outfeed table up or down, loosen lock-
screw (A) Fig. 38, and turn hand knob (B). When the
outfeed table is exactly level with the knives at their
highest point of revolution, tighten lockscrew (A).
