ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)
INFEED / OUTFEED TABLE COPLANAR AND CUTTERHEAD PARALLELISM CHECK
The infeed and outfeed tables have been adjusted at the factory before shipment. There is a
possibility that they may have shifted during transport and are no longer coplanar or parallel to the
cutterhead. Before operating your jointer, a check should be performed using a metal straight
edge of at least 24” in length.
NOTE: The red depth of cut indicator should not be used for getting the tables parallel and
coplanar. It can be re-adjusted to zero AFTER all adjustments have been made by simply
loosening the screw and resetting the indicator.
REMINDER: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL when working around the cutterhead!!!
1. Locate the 2 screws holding the cutterhead guard bracket and loosen the screws “A” in FIG 10.
Grasp the guard and guard bracket as shown and slide up and pull out to remove. See FIG 11
NOTE: The cutterhead guard has a tension return spring. The tension on this spring is set at the
factory. When the guard is installed properly it should return to the fence automatically after the
work piece has passed over the cutterhead. Be sure the guard is functioning properly every time
before using the jointer. If tension adjustment is necessary, see previous page.
