Page 16 Power Equipment Usage Manual (Rev. 5/10)
The jointer setup involves four components as follows:
1) In order to use the jointer, the outfeed or rear table must be perfectly aligned with the knives in
the cutterhead.
• This is performed by an experienced member of the maintenance team ONLY and the left
wheel which controls this setup CANNOT BE ADJUSTED by the general user.
2) Be sure to check how deep the cut will be:
• The vertical distance between the infeed and outfeed table determines how much you will
cut (or joint) off your wood.
• With the power OFF, lay a straightedge across both tables. The distance below the
outfeed/rear table to the infeed/front table defines the depth of cut.
• Ideally, the jointer should be setup for a nominal cut of about 1/64” to 1/32” (.015”).
NOTE: The maximum depth of cut one can make is 1/16”. The infeed table stop has been set
by the maintenance team to prevent damage to the cutter head.
• To adjust the depth of cut, the infeed table is raised or lowered by the rightmost wheel:
o Loosen the infeed table position fix lever before turning the adjustment wheel and
tighten once the table is adjusted to the proper height.
o There is a depth of cut scale on the right side of the machine which is marked in
fractional inches. Note the starting position of the scale’s pointer, turn the handle
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to LOWER the table by the desired amount and thereby increase
the amount of material the cutters remove. Or, CLOCKWISE to RAISE the table.
o If you change this setting, please put it back to 1/16” when you are finished.
3) To check for fence squareness, use an accurate square between the table and the fence.
• If it is square, you are ready to make a cut.
• If it is found to be out of square:
o Look behind the fence and pick up the threaded ball handle and screw it into the top of
the fence.
o Loosen the fence lock lever and with one hand holding the square and the other on the
ball handle, ajust the tilt of the fence until it is square.
o Carefully tighten the fence lock while holding the square in place to verify the tilt does
not move upon re-tightening.
4) Making the Cut:
• Holding the Board Securely: THE MOST DANGEROUS procedure for any operator is pushing
boards through the jointer without the use of the pusher blocks . . . no hands should be in
