Operation

Important: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get the feel of operations before attempting regular work.

Stabilize long workpieces by using an assistant, or roller stands set level with the outfeed or infeed table surface.

The fence should be adjusted to create minimum exposure to the cutterhead during the jointing operation.

Check the following before operating the jointer:

‰Outfeed table must be set level with the high point of the knives.

‰Fence adjusted for minimum exposure of cutterhead, and locked at desired angle.

‰The cutterhead guard must be in place and operating properly (except when rabbeting).

‰Infeed table set for desired depth of cut.

‰Stand away from the cutterhead and turn the machine on for a few moments. Listen for any odd noises, rubbings, vibrations, etc. Correct such problems before attempting operations on the jointer.

‰Carefully check your workpiece for knots, holes, staples or any foreign material that might damage knives or pose a risk of kickback. Also check the workpiece for grain orientation.
