NOTICE

Make sure the straps do not touch the con- trol panel pedestal in the next step. Also, make sure they stay under the base and do not slip to the infeed or outfeed tables to avoid damaging the machine.

4.Position the lifting straps under the ends of the cast iron base, as shown in Figure 16, then secure them to the power lifting equip- ment.

Figure 16. Lifting straps properly positioned.

5.Tension the lifting straps with the forklift to make sure they stay in place, then unbolt the jointer from the shipping pallet.

6.With assistance to steady the load, raise the jointer just enough to clear the shipping pallet and any floor obstacles, then move it to the prepared location.

Note: In the next step, use shims between the base mounting points and the floor to avoid warping or cracking the cast iron.

7.As you mount the jointer to the floor, use the precision level to make sure the table is level from side-to-side and from front-to-back.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Note: Before the jointer was shipped from the factory, the infeed table was fully raised and the stop bolt was threaded up against the bot- tom of it to safely secure it during transit.

To prevent damaging the table elevation gearing, you MUST adjust the position of the infeed stop bolt to the operating position before attempting to lower the infeed table.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the table elevation gearing, NEVER force the table handwheels if you feel resistance. Check the positions of the stop bolts or for obstructions.

8.Loosen the jam nut (see Figure 17) on the infeed stop bolt, then unthread the stop bolt until the distance from the top of the bolt and the bottom of the infeed table is the same as the maximum depth of cut specified for your jointer (refer to the Model Specification Comparison chart for your model on Page 5).
