knots hard. Knots can come loose and jam blades. Assess the value of badly warped boards. Operator may be
tempted to use too deep of a cut to square the boards quickly when a better approach is to use several passes with
a shallower cut.
WARNING: Any article that encounters jointer blades may be forcibly ejected from the jointer creating
risk of injury. Make sure the wood is free from outside materials before attempting to joint.
TESTING THE BLADE HEIGHT
The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure
proper operation and theoretically should require no
adjustment. However, shipping and handling may have
cause slight misalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades
must be as high as the outfeed table when positioned at the
highest point.
CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and that the cord is unplugged before checking the blades.
To check the blade height:
1. Block the blade guard (Fig. I - 1) from closing using
a scrap piece of 6-1/4-inch wood (Fig. I - 2) between the
fence and the guard.
2. Turn the cutter head so that one of the blades is at the
highest position.
3. Place a straightedge over the outfeed table and the blade
(Fig. J). The straight edge must touch evenly on the out-
feed table at both ends of the blade.
4. Rotate the cutterhead (Fig. K) by hand. The blades (Fig.
K - 1) should just touch the straightedge. If a blade is too
low or too high at either end, adjust the blade height using
the jack screws (Fig. K - 2) on the cutterhead.

OPERATION
AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES
Jointers are a precision woodworking machine and should
be used on quality lumber only. Do not plane dirty boards;
dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear out blade.
REMOVE NAILS AND STAPLES. Only use the jointer to
cut wood. Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes
