Figure 42. Checking the fence at 45˚ L with a
45˚ square.
To check and adjust the 45˚L fence stop:
1. Loosen the fence tilt lock handle.
2. Using the tilt handle, slowly tilt the fence
toward the front of the jointer until it stops.
3. Set your bevel gauge to 45˚, and place it on
the table so the angled portion is against the
fence as shown in Figure 42.
4. Check the current position of the fence. If it
fits the angle of the bevel gauge, the fence is
already set correctly. If it does not, then the
fence needs to be adjusted.
5. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚L fence stop
nut.
6. Adjust the 45˚L stop nut until the fence angle
matches the bevel gauge.
7. Tighten the jam nut against the 45˚ L stop nut
to secure it in place. The 45˚L fence stop
should now be correctly adjusted.
Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test
run the machine.
Test Run
To install a plug on your power cord:
1. Refer to Section 3: Circuit Requirements to
determine the correct plug and receptacle for
your particular setup.
2. Have the plug and receptacle installed by a
licensed electrician.
Plug Installation
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the
machine while it is running. Wait until the
machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a complete stop
before you do anything! Otherwise serious
personal injury may occur.
Connect the power to the power supply. Press
the START button. Make sure that your finger is
poised on the STOP button, just in case there is
a problem. The jointer should run smoothly, with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or
unnatural noises should be investigated and cor-
rected before operating the machine further.
If the jointer seems to be running correctly, let it
run for a short time to ensure that the moving
parts are working properly with no excessive
vibration. If any problem develops, correct it
before attempting to use the machine.
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises,
feel free to contact our service department for
help.
