11. Lower the infeed table and place a straight edge (J)

Fig. 42, on the outfeed table extending over the

cutterhead as shown.

12. Rotate the cutterhead by hand until the knife is at its

highest point at each end of the cutterhead

. To raise the

knife, use wrench (E) Fig. 42, and turn raising screw

clockwise until the knife just touches the straight edge

(J) on each end and center of the cutterhead when the

knife is at its highest point. When you are certain the

knife is adjusted properly, tighten the four locking

screws (B) Fig. 38, by turning them counterclockwise.

13. Adjust the remaining two knives in the same manner.

MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL KNIVES ARE SECURELY

FASTENED IN CUTTERHEAD BEFORE TURNING ON

POWER.

14. Replace cutterhead guard.

OPERATION

The following directions will give the beginner a start on

jointer operations. Use scrap pieces of lumber to check

settings and to get the feel of the operations before

attempting regular work.

THE KNIVES ON THE JOINTER WILL

NOT WEAR EVENLY BY FEEDING THE WOOD

THROUGH THE SAME SPOT ON THE TABLE EVERY

TIME. FEED THE WOOD THROUGH THE JOINTER AT

DIFFERENT SPOTS ON THE TABLE WHEN

POSSIBLE, TO HELP ELIMINATE UNEVEN WEAR OF

THE KNIVES.

ALWAYS USE CUTTERHEAD GUARD

AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTERHEAD.

ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS WHENEVER

POSSIBLE. NEVER MAKE JOINTING AND PLANING

CUTS DEEPER THAN 1/8" IN ONE PASS.

PLACEMENT OF HANDS

DURING FEEDING

At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly

against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand

pushes the work toward the knives. After the cut is un-

derway, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table

as shown in Fig. 43. The left hand should then be moved

to the work on the outfeed table, at the same time

maintaining flat contact with the fence. The right hand

presses the work forward, and before the right hand

reaches the cutterhead, it should be moved to the work

on the outfeed table.

NEVER PASS HANDS DIRECTLY OVER

THE CUTTERHEAD.

Fig. 43

CUTTERHEAD ROTATION

The rotation of the cutterhead must be in a clockwise direction when viewed from the left side of the

machine; that is, the knives must be rotating toward the infeed table from the top. If the cutterhead rotation is incorrect,

disconnect the machine from the power source and proceed as follows:

Single Phase Machines – Interchange leads T5 and T8 in the motor junction box.

Three Phase Machines – Interchange any two of the three incoming power lines.
