MB502 6” Deluxe Jointer

WARNING: 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 underway, the new

surface rests firmly on the outfeed table as shown in Fig. 64. 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.

CAUTION: NEVER PASS HANDS DIRECTLY OVER THE CUTTERHEAD.

JOINTING AN EDGE

This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set the guide fence square with the

table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Hold the

best face of the piece firmly against the fence throughout the feed as shown in Fig. 65.

Maximum depth of cut should not be more than 1/8” in one pass.
