Assembly
Unpacking and Cleanup
Locate the jointer in an area that is level and provides a solid foundation. Make sure that any potential kickback is not in line with aisles, doorways, wash stations or other work areas.
1.Carefully finish removing all contents from both shipping cartons. Compare contents of the shipping cartons with the list of contents on page 8. Place parts on a protected surface.
2.Set packing material and shipping cartons to the side. Do not discard until machine has been set up and is running properly.
Cutterhead knives are dangerously sharp; use extreme caution when cleaning. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
3.Moisten a soft cloth with kerosene and remove the protective coating from all machined surfaces of the jointer. Do NOT use an abrasive pad. Do not use gasoline, acetone or lacquer thinner, as these may damage painted surfaces.
4.Apply a thin layer of paste wax to the exposed surfaces of the fence and tables to prevent rust. Alternatively, white talcum powder rubbed in vigorously once a week with a blackboard eraser will fill any casting pores and form a moisture barrier. Talcum powder will not stain wood or mar finishes.

Installing Bed to Stand
1.Position the jointer on the stand so that the pulley attached to the cutterhead on the jointer is directly above and on the same side as the motor pulley.
2.Use three lock bolts and spring washers (Figure 3) to firmly fasten the jointer to the stand. The bolts are threaded up through the holes in the stand into the base of the jointer (Figure 4).
3.Use a 14mm wrench to tighten the lock bolts.
