ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS

"Gibs" are provided to take up all play between the mating

dovetail ways of the base and the infeed and outfeed

tables. The "gib" for the infeed table is shown at (A) Fig.

46, and the "gib" for the outfeed table is shown at (B) Fig.

47. Proper "gib" adjustment is necessary for the correct

func tion ing of the jointer. The "gibs" were adjusted at

the factory and should require no further adjustment. If

it becomes necessary to adjust the "gibs", proceed as

follows:

1. To adjust the infeed or outfeed table "gibs," loosen

three locknuts (F) Fig. 46, for the infeed table or two

locknuts (G) Fig. 47, for the outfeed table.

For the infeed table, make sure the table

locking lever is loose. For the outfeed

table, make sure the table locking screw (E)

Fig. 47, is loose.

2. Tighten or loosen three gib adjustment screws (C)

Fig. 46, as necessary for the infeed table or two gib

adjustment screws (D) Fig. 47, as necessary for the

outfeed table; starting with the lower screw first and

as you proceed to the top screw, gently raise the

outboard edge of the table that is being adjusted.

This will offset any ten den cy for the table casting to

"droop or sag" and permit the gib to be adjusted to a

secure fit. After the gibs have been adjusted, tighten

locknuts (F) Fig. 46, (G) Fig. 47, table locking screw

(E) Fig. 47, and infeed table locking lever.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave the adjusting screws too loose.

It should take a little bit of effort to move the tables up

or down. Jointers are finishing machines and you can’t

expect proper accuracy or finish if the tables are not set

properly.

FENCE OPERATION

The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt

45 degrees right or left at any position on the table as

follows:

1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock

handle (A) Fig. 48, slide fence to the desired position

on the table and tighten lockhandle (A). As the fence

is moved across the table, the rear cutterhead guard

(B) covers and guards the cutterhead in back of the

fence. NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and

can be repositioned by pulling up on the handle

and repositioning it on the serrated nut located

underneath the hub of the handle.

2. To tilt the fence to the right or left loosen lock

handle (C) Fig. 49, and pull out and turn plunger

(D) to release the positive stop. A tilting lever (E) is

provided on the back of the fence to assist in tilting

the fence. NOTE: Lock handle (C) is spring-loaded

and can be repositioned by pulling out the handle

and repositioning it on the serrated nut located

underneath the hub of the handle.

3. Tilt the fence to the desired angle, in or out, and

tighten lock handle (C) Fig. 49. IMPORTANT: When

cutting bevels and the angle is small there is little

difference whether the fence is tilted in or out;

however, at angles approaching 45 degrees it may

become difficult to hold the work securely against

the fence when the fence is tilted out. In these cases

we suggest that the fence be tilted toward the table,

as shown in Fig. 49. The fence will form a V-shape

with the tables and the work is easily pressed into the

pocket while passing across the knives.
