OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly
recommend that you read books or trade articles, or seek
training from an experienced jointer operator before
performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your
safety should come first!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
This section covers the basic parts and controls used
during routine operations. Refer to Figures 21– 22 for
basic parts and control locations.
A. ON/OFF Switch: Starts and stops the cutterhead
rotation.
The switch has a yellow safety key—removing
it locks the switch in the OFF position. Always
remove this yellow key when leaving the work area.
This prevents unsupervised persons in your shop
(especially children) from starting the jointer.
B. Depth of Cut Adjustment Knob: Changes the height
of the infeed table to control the depth of cut.
C. Fence Tilting Handle: Locks the fence at the desired
angle. Use fence stops to quickly set the fence to
90° (perpendicular to the tables), 45° inward, or 45°
outward.
D. Fence Sliding Handle: Allows you to adjust the
position of the fence over the tables. ALWAYS
tighten it before you begin operations. The position
of the fence determines the width of the cut as
the workpiece moves over the cutterhead. NEVER
operate the jointer if ANY part of cutterhead is
exposed on the work area.
