I.Fence Bracket Assembly
J.Fence Tilting Handle
K.Fence Sliding Handle
A.Outfeed Table: Supports the workpiece after it passes over the cutterhead.
B.Cutterhead Guard: Shields the cutterhead to increase operator safety during operation. The cutterhead guard is under spring tension; it will always (unless blocked) snap forward to hit the fence. DO NOT operate the jointer if the guard is not functioning properly.
C.Fence: The fence guides the workpiece uniformly over the cutterhead at the desired angle.
D.Infeed Table: Supports the workpiece as it is pushed over the cutterhead. The height of the infeed table relative to the cutterhead determines the depth of the cut.
E.Depth of Cut Adjustment Knob: This knob lets you change the height of the infeed table and thus control the depth of cut. Best results are achieved when you limit the maximum depth to 1/8" or less when edge jointing and 1/32" when surface planing. You can set the depth of cut precisely with this adjustment knob. To determine the depth of stock the cutterhead will remove from your workpiece, place a straightedge across the outfeed table and use a ruler to measure the gap between the straightedge and the infeed table.
F.ON/OFF Switch: This paddle switch starts and stops the cutterhead rotation. The yellow part of the switch is a safety device. When you remove this yellow key (by pulling it for- ward and out), the switch locks in the OFF position. Always remove this yellow key when you leave the jointer work area. Removing the key prevents unsupervised persons in your shop (especially children) from easily or accidentally starting the jointer.
G/H. Dust Collection Chute and Bag: This assembly receives the debris removed from the workpiece as it is cut. The internal fan
- powered by the jointer motor - pulls the debris away from the cutterhead and blows it through the chute into the bag.
I.Fence Bracket Assembly: The various parts of this assembly let you change the position of the fence relative to the tables and secure it in position during operation.
J.Fence Tilting Handle: Lets you change the angle of the fence and lock it at the angle desired. The fence can be quickly set to 90° (perpendicular to the tables), 45° inward and 45° outward by setting and using the fence stops on the bracket assembly.
K.Fence Sliding Handle: This handle lets you adjust and lock the position of the fence across the tables. ALWAYS firmly tighten the sliding handle before you begin opera- tions. The position of the fence determines the maximum width of the cut as you pass your workpiece over the spinning cutterhead. NEVER operate the jointer if ANY part of cutterhead is exposed on the work area.
