Installation and Assembly

Tools required for assembly

Forklift or hoist with straps/slings

14mm (or 9/16”) wrench or socket

Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver

3mm and 5mm hex wrenches (provided)

1. Remove any boards or straps that secure the Jointer to the pallet, and remove protective wrapping.

2. Use a 14mm (or 9/16”) wrench to remove the four lag screws at the base of the stand which helped secure the machine to the pallet. One of these screws is shown in

Figure 1.

The Jointer should be raised by straps placed around the four lifting rods

(see Figure 2). Do NOT lift the machine directly beneath the infeed and outfeed tables, as this can cause misalignment of the tables.

3. Pull the four lifting rods out as far as they will go and run the straps around the rods as shown in Figure 2. Using a forklift or hoist, lift the machine off the pallet and into its desired location. When the straps are removed, push the lifting rods back in.

4. The Jointer should be located in a dry area, on a sturdy floor, and with sufficient lighting and ventilation. Leave plenty of space around the machine for operations and routine maintenance work.

5. If desired, the Jointer can be further stabilized by securing it to the floor, using lag screws through the four holes at the base of the stand.

The jointer should be disconnected from the power source during

assembly procedures.

6. Exposed metal areas of the Jointer, such as the table and fence surfaces, have been factory coated with a protectant. This can be removed with a soft cloth dampened with kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not use an abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact plastic or rubber parts as it may damage them. around cutterhead. The knives are extremely

sharp.

Use caution when cleaning

(straps not included)

Installing Switch Arm

1. The switch arm was shipped in horizontal position. Loosen and remove the four socket head cap screws and flat washers on the bracket of the switch arm (Figure 3) with a

5mm hex wrench. Hold on to the switch arm while doing this, to prevent the arm from falling.

2. Place the switch arm in vertical position, as shown in Figure 3, and align the four holes in the bracket with the four holes in the jointer stand.

3. Re-insert the four socket head cap screws with the four flat washers, as shown in

Figure 3.

4. Firmly tighten the four socket head cap screws with the hex wrench.

Installing Cutterhead Guard

Jointer knives are extremely sharp. Use caution when working with or

around the cutterhead.

The cutterhead guard has a spring tension mechanism which must be properly tensioned when installing the cutterhead guard on the machine.

To install the cutterhead guard:

1. Insert a small hex wrench, or similar object, into the pin on the guard tension mechanism

(Figure 4).

2. Twist the hex wrench and pin clockwise, as shown in Figure 5, and hold them there.

3. Lower the shaft of the guard into the hole on the jointer’s rabbeting ledge. See Figure 6.

The guard should be lowered into the hole far enough that the groove in the guard’s shaft will mate with the shaft of the locking handle (Figure 6).

4. After the guard has been inserted into the hole, let go of the guard with your left hand - the guard will swing toward the fence.

5. Completely tighten the locking handle

(Figure 6), while continuing to hold the hex wrench and pin with your right hand.

6. When the guard is secured, remove the hex wrench from the pin. Slightly loosen the locking handle (Figure 6) until the pin snaps back against the rabbeting ledge.

7. Re-tighten the locking handle (Figure 6).

10

Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 5

The cutterhead guard should now have sufficient spring tension. Test it by swinging the guard away from the fence and then releasing it.

The guard must always have enough spring tension to cover the unused part of the cutterhead during the cutting operation, and to swing back to contact the fence when the workpiece has cleared the

area.

If more spring tension on the guard is desired, follow the above procedure with this exception: tighten the locking handle without allowing the pin to snap back to the rabbeting ledge. The farther clockwise the pin is situated, the greater will be the spring tension.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recommended that a dust collection system (not provided) be connected to the jointer. It will help keep your shop clean, and reduce the risk of health problems due to wood dust. The dust collector should have sufficient capacity for this size jointer.

Connect the dust collection hose to the 4” diameter dust port on the jointer (Figure 7) and secure it with a hose clamp or duct tape.

NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal

injury.

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

11

Figure 6

Figure 7

(hose and clamp not provided)

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the Jointer.

Extension cords

The use of an extension cord is not recommended for the PJ882 Jointer. But if one is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Use the chart in Figure 8 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

230 Volt, Single Phase Operation

As received from the factory, the single-phase model of the PJ-882 Jointer is designed to run on 230 volt power only.

You may either connect a UL/CSA listed 230V plug (similiar to the one shown in Figure 9) or

“hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator. The

Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

If the Jointer is to be hard-wired, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine is being wired.

The Jointer with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration. No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.

*based on limiting the line voltage drop to 5V at 150% of the rated amperes.

NR: Not Recommended.

Figure 8

Figure 9

Three Phase Operation

The three-phase model is factory wired for 230 volt, but can be converted to 460 volt if so desired (see “Converting From 230 Volt to 460

Volt”).

You may either connect a UL/CSA listed plug, or

“hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator.

12

If you are hard-wiring the Jointer, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer will be connected, and place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on until wiring is complete.

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt

(Three Phase Only)

Refer to the diagram on page 46 for connecting the motor leads for 460 volt power. If using a plug, it must be a proper UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 460 volt operation. The Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

Three-Phase Test Run

On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been completed, you should check that the wires have been connected properly:

1. Connect machine to power source and press the start button, shown in Figure 10.

(See “Operating Controls” on page 24 for further information on the control switch.)

2. The cutterhead should rotate clockwise as viewed from the front of the machine. If the cutterhead rotation is incorrect, press the stop button (Figure 10) and disconnect

machine from power.

3. Switch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T".

4. Reconnect machine to power source.

Adjustments

Drive Belt Tension

To check or adjust the drive belt tension:

1. Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and remove the belt guard (B, Figure 11).

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by unscrewing the four flat head screws (D,

Figure 11) with a cross-point screwdriver.

3. Proper drive belt tension is achieved when there is a small amount of deflection in the drive belt midway between the pulleys, when using moderate finger pressure

(Figure 12).

4. To increase the tension on the drive belt, loosen the lower hex nut (B, Figure 13) with a 17mm wrench, and tighten the top hex nut

(A, Figure 13). When finished, tighten lower hex nut (B, Figure 13).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard.

NOTE: After operating the machine for a short time, the drive belt tension should be rechecked, as the new drive belt may stretch slightly during the “breaking-in” period.

Drive Belt Replacement

1. Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and remove the belt guard (B, Figure 11).

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by removing the four flat head screws with a cross-point screwdriver.

3. On the motor base plate, loosen the top hex nut (A, Figure 13), and lift up on the motor to create slack in the drive belt. Remove the drive belt from both pulleys.

4. Install the new drive belt around top and bottom pulleys, and tension it appropriately

(see “Drive Belt Tension”).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard (Figure

11).

Fence Movement

The fence can be moved forward or backward across the width of the table. It also tilts up to 45 degrees forward and backward, and contains positive stops at both these angles, as well as a positive stop at 90 degrees.

To slide fence forward or backward:

1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 14).

2. Push the entire fence assembly to the desired position, and tighten locking handle

(A, Figure 14). A plastic buffer piece is mounted to the front of the fence to prevent scratching the table when the fence is moved.

NOTE: If the lock handle (A, Figure 14) is in an inconvenient position, it can be adjusted.

Loosen the two hex nuts underneath the slide bracket (Figure 15). Flip the handle to the desired position, and re-tighten the hex nuts. Do not overtighten the hex nuts, as this can make the fence difficult to move on the slide bracket.

To tilt fence forward:

The fence can be tilted forward to any angle down to 45 degrees.

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 14).

2. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 14) until the desired angle is indicated on the scale (D,

Figure 14). Or you can place your beveled workpiece on the table and against the fence, and rotate the handwheel (C, Figure

14) until the angle of the fence matches the bevel of your workpiece.

14

Figure 14

Figure 15

3. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 14).

To tilt fence backward:

The fence can be tilted backward up to 45° (that is, for a total angle of 135° from table surface).

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 16).

2. Flip the 90° stop block (E, Figure 16) out of the way.

3. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 16) until the desired angle is indicated on the scale (D,

Figure 16). Or you can place your beveled workpiece on the table and against the fence, and rotate the handwheel (C, Figure

16) until the angle of the fence matches the bevel of your workpiece.

4. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 16).

IMPORTANT: When the tilted operation is finished and the fence is returned to 90°, do not forget to flip the 90° stop block (F, Figure 16) back to its original position.

Fence Stops

Periodically check the 90° and 45° tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist’s protractor. If adjustments are necessary, proceed as follows:

Setting the 90° Stop

1. The 90° stop is controlled by the screw (F,

Figure 16) and the stop block (E, Figure 16).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (F,

Figure 16).

3. Set your angle measuring device to 90 degrees, and place it on the table and against the fence.

4. Move the fence until it fits flush against the angle measuring device. Turn the screw (F,

Figure 16) until the screw contacts the stop block (E, Figure 16).

5. Tighten the hex nut on the screw (F, Figure

16) and the lock handle (B, Figure 16).

Setting the 45° Forward Stop

1. The 45° forward stop is controlled by the screw (H, Figure 17).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (H,

Figure 17).

3. Set your angle measuring device at 45°.

4. Rotate the screw (H, Figure 17) until it contacts the casting in front of it.

5. Tighten the hex nut on the screw (H, Figure

17) and tighten locking handle (B, Figure

16).

Setting the 45° Backward Stop

1. The 45° backward stop is controlled by the screw (G, Figure 18), which will contact the back of the fence when the fence is tilted backward.

2. Flip the stop block (E, Figure 18) out of the way.

3. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 18) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (G,

Figure 18).

4. Tilt the fence backward. Set your angle measuring device at 135° and place it on the table and against the fence.

5. If necessary, turn the screw (G, Figure 18), until the fence lies flush against the angle measuring device.

To remove the fence assembly from the machine, remove the two hex nuts and one flat washer that secure it to the slide bracket (see

Figure 15). Lift the fence straight up and off the

Jointer.

When re-installing the fence assembly, make sure the cutout in the fence assembly sits over the key in the slide bracket.

Locking Handles

All locking handles of the type shown in B,

Figure 18, can be rotated if they are in the way of other machine parts. Simply lift straight out on the locking handle and rotate it, then release, making sure it seats properly.

Table and Knife Adjustments

For accurate jointing, at least three things must be true:

1. Infeed and outfeed tables must be parallel, or “coplanar”.

16

Figure 18

2. Knives must be set in the cutterhead so that the highest point of their arc is level with the the outfeed table.

3. Knives must be parallel with the outfeed table across the entire length of the knives.

These alignments are explained below.

Setting Tables Parallel

For optimum performance of the jointer, the infeed and outfeed tables must be parallel frontto-back with each other. If they are not parallel, the finished workpiece may have a slight taper across its width or length.

The tables have been set parallel at the factory, but they should be double-checked by the operator. Also, as the machine receives use, this parallel setting should be checked occasionally and adjusted if necessary.

The following procedure uses a steel straight edge to set the tables, which should be accurate enough for most purposes.

This procedure demonstrates how to set the parallelism of the outfeed table; the procedure for the infeed table will be identical.

1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

2. Remove the cutterhead guard by loosening the locking handle (see Figure 6) and lifting the guard shaft out of the hole.

3. Slide the fence assembly back as far as it will go, or remove it from the machine entirely.

4. Loosen the locking handle on the outfeed table (see A, Figure 23). Use the lifting handle (B, Figure 23) to raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead.

5. Place a straight edge across the front of the outfeed table and extending over the infeed table. See Figure 19.

6. Raise the infeed table until it contacts the straight edge. To raise the infeed table, loosen the locking handle (see A, Figure 28) and lift the adjustment arm (B, Figure 28).

When it contacts the straight edge, tighten the locking handle (A, Figure 28).

7. The straight edge should lie level across both tables. Move the straight edge to the back of the outfeed table, and perform the same test. See Figure 20.

8. If the straight edge does not lie level, the front or back of the table must be adjusted to make the tables parallel with each other.

Proceed as follows.

17

Figure 19

Figure 20

9. Each table has four cam adjustment devices; two in front and two in back.

NOTE: On the front of the Jointer, the two outside cams are concealed by the hubs.

You must remove the hub to expose the cam adjustment device. Remove the socket head cap screw and flat washer at the center with a 6mm hex wrench, and loosen the two setscrews in the hub (Figure 21 shows one of the two set screw holes). Pull the hub straight out to expose the cam adjustment device. adjustment must be made, pry out the cap

(A, Figure 22) from the hole.

11. There are two set screws in the hole. Insert a 4mm hex wrench (B, Figure 22) into the hole and loosen the upper set screw by turning the hex wrench counterclockwise.

Remove the upper set screw from the hole.

12. Loosen the lower set screw (do not remove it) by turning counterclockwise with the hex wrench.

13. Turn the hex nut (C, Figure 22) with a 1-1/4" wrench. This adjustment is sensitive and

should be made in small increments.

NOTE: The rotation is different for left and right hex nuts; the right hex nut being turned in Figure 22 will be turned clockwise to raise that area of the table, or counterclockwise to lower that area of the table. The left hex nut shown in Figure 22 would be rotated in the opposite manner.

14. Use the straight edge upon the table and across the cutterhead to check the adjustment until the table is parallel with the cutterhead.

15. When the adjustment is satisfactory, with the tables now parallel to the cutterhead, tighten the lower set screw with the hex wrench (B, Figure 22).

16. Insert and tighten the upper set screw.

17. Re-insert the cap (A, Figure 22) to keep dust and debris out of the hole.

Setting Knives at Correct Height and

Parallel To Outfeed Table

For accurate jointing, the outfeed table surface must be level with the knives at the high point of their arc. Also, the knives must be parallel with the outfeed table along the entire length of the knives.

18

Figure 21

Figure 22

(back of outfeed table shown)

When you receive the jointer, the knives have been pre-set at the factory. However, the height and parallelism of the knives with the outfeed table should be checked, and any needed adjustments made, before putting the jointer into operation.

Proceed as follows:


2. Place a straight edge upon the outfeed table and extending over the center of the cutterhead as shown in Figures 23 and 24.

3. Rotate the cutterhead, using the belt or pulley, until one knife is at its highest point.

Do not grab the cutterhead itself to rotate it.

4. Lower the outfeed table until the straight edge contacts the knife, as shown in Figure

24. Using the drive belt, rock the cutterhead slightly to make sure the apex of the knife is contacting the straight edge.

5. Lock the outfeed table at that setting by tightening the locking handle (A, Figure 23).

The importance of the knives being level with the outfeed table are shown by these examples of incorrect settings:

If the outfeed table is too high, the finished surface of the workpiece will be curved. See

Figure 25.

If the outfeed table is too low, the work will have a gouge, or snipe, at the end of the cut. See

Figure 26.

19

Figure 23

Figure 24

Figure 25

Figure 26

Figure 27 illustrates the correct setting of outfeed table level with the knives. The workpiece will rest firmly on both tables with no open space under the finished cut.

The outfeed table has now been locked at a standard height, level with the arc of the knives.

NOTE: After the outfeed table has been set at the correct height, it should not be changed except for special operations or after replacing knives.

Further fine adjustments will now be achieved by adjusting the knives in the cutterhead. Proceed as follows.

Jointer knives are extremely sharp; use caution and proceed slowly when

setting them.

6. Lower the infeed table out of the way, by loosening the locking handle (A, Figure 28) and pushing down on the adjustment arm

(B, Figure 28).

7. An aluminum knife setting gauge, shown in

Figure 29, is provided with the jointer. If you require very fine tolerances when setting the knives, a knife setting gauge with a dial readout can be purchased (see “Optional

Accessories” on page 32). The provided aluminum gauge should, however, be accurate enough for most woodworking needs.

8. Place the provided knife setting gauge at the back of the outfeed table (toward the fence support side) and extending over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 29. Place the gauge so that the right mark lines up with the edge of the outfeed table, as shown.

9. Rotate the cutterhead clockwise (by using the pulley). If table and knives are set correctly, the knife will contact the aluminum gauge and move the gauge until the left mark now lines up with the edge of the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 30.

20

Figure 27

Figure 28

Figure 29

10. Place the aluminum knife gauge at the front of the outfeed table (toward the rabbet ledge) and repeat the process.

11. This test should be performed on all three knives in the cutterhead, using the provided gauge.

12. If any knife is either too high or too low at one of its ends to correctly move the gauge as described above, then the height and/or parallelism of that knife in the cutterhead needs to be adjusted. Proceed as follows.

13. Slightly loosen the five gib screws (see

Figure 31) with an 8mm wrench. (NOTE:

The springs below the knife will cause the knife to rise.)

14. Turn the jack screw(s) with a hex wrench; clockwise to lower the setting of the knife in the cutterhead, counterclockwise to raise the setting of the knife.

15. Use the edge of a board to push the knife back down so that it is flush against the jack screws. See Figure 32. Tighten the gib screws only enough to keep the knife in position in the cutterhead. Do not fully tighten.

16. Check the height of the knife again by using the gauge at front and back of the outfeed table. Make further adjustments to the jack screw(s) as needed.

17. Repeat this process for each of the other two knives in turn. Do not fully tighten gib screws, only tighten them enough to keep the knife in position.

18. For best results, knives should be set at approximately .015" above the cutterhead.

Knife height should not vary more than .002-

.003" across the length of the cutterhead. All three knives must be set at equal height in the cutterhead and parallel to the outfeed table across their length.

19. After all three knives are positioned properly in the cutterhead and made snug, continue tightening the gib screws. The gib screws should be tightened in increments, to prevent any distortion to the cutterhead or buckling of knives. Begin tightening the gib screws a little more on one knife. Start with the center screw and work your way to the ends. Do not fully tighten yet.

20. Rotate the cutterhead to the other two knives in turn. Repeat step 20 for each knife.

21

Figure 30

Figure 31

Figure 32

21. The tightening process should continue at least two more times, each time tightening the gib screws further on all three knives in turn. On the third time, the gib screws should all be firmly tightened.

Before operating the jointer, make sure all gib screws are firmly tightened. A loose knife thrown from the

cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury.

22. After all knife adjustments are completed, the guards and fence assembly should be placed back on the machine before operating.

Outfeed Table Stop Screws

The stop screw (B, Figure 33) limits the amount of fall of the outfeed table. The stop screw has been pre-set at the factory, but if future adjustment is ever needed, simply loosen the hex nut (A, Figure 33) and turn the screw (B,

Figure 33) as needed with a 14mm wrench.

When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (A, Figure

33).

The screw (C, Figure 33) limits the rise of the outfeed table. If adjustment is needed, loosen the hex nut (D, Figure 33) and turn the screw (C,

Figure 33) as needed with a 9mm hex wrench.

When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (D, Figure

33).

Setting Infeed Table (Depth of Cut)

1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 34).

2. Move table adjustment arm (B, Figure 34) to raise or lower infeed table to the desired depth of cut, which is shown on the gauge via the pointer (C, Figure 34).

NOTE: Do not exceed 1/8” maximum depth of cut. For deeper cuts, make several passes.

3. Re-tighten locking handle (A, Figure 34).

Infeed Table Depth Stop

The knob (Figure 35) controls a depth stop.

When the infeed table is lowered, it will stop at the 1/8” depth mark.

To further lower the infeed table, such as for rabbeting operations, disengage the depth stop by pulling out on the knob, rotating the knob 90° and then releasing it. The infeed table can then be lowered all the way.

To re-engage the depth stop, rotate the knob

90° until the knob snaps back in.

22

Figure 33

Figure 34

Figure 35

Infeed Table Stop Screws

The stop screws below the infeed table have the same function as those for the outfeed table.

See “Outfeed Table Stop Screws” for instructions on adjustment.

Replacing Knives in the Cutterhead

Jointer knives are extremely sharp. Use caution and proceed slowly when

working with or around the cutterhead.


2. Remove the belt guard so that you can rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor pulley or by moving the drive belt. Do not grab the cutterhead itself to rotate it.

3. Remove the old knives by loosening the square head gib screws with an 8mm wrench. See Figure 36. The springs in the cutterhead will raise the knife for easy removal. Remove knife and gib.

4. Clean the gib and the knife slot. Sandwich the new knife and gib together and drop into slot. Make sure the knife is oriented properly in the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 36.

IMPORTANT: To position the knives for rabbet cuts, take a shop scale with 1/32” graduations and place it against the end of the cutterhead.

Slide the knife out until it is at the 1/32” mark on the scale; that is, the knife will now be 1/32” beyond the edge of the cutterhead. The gib should remain in normal position, even with the edge of the cutterhead. See Figure 37. This adjustment will ensure that the knife clears the end of the gib and cutterhead, and has good contact with the workpiece. (See under

“Operation” for further information on rabbeting procedures.)

5. The height and parallelism of the knife in the slot, both for rabbeting and normal jointer work, must now be set properly, to ensure correct operation as well as minimize the hazard of kickback. Refer to “Setting Knives at Correct Height and Parallel to Outfeed

Table” on page 18 for information on adjustment and tightening procedures for the knives.

Before starting the jointer, make sure all gib screws are firmly tightened. A loose knife thrown from the cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury.

23

Figure 36

Figure 37

Eliminating “Play” in Tables

There are four set screws at the front of the jointer – two on the outfeed table and two on the infeed table – that will allow you to prevent

“play” in the tables. (Figure 38 shows a set screw for the outfeed table.)

After a period of use, the copper tip (see item

#27, page 37) which is attached to the end of the set screw (A, Figure 38) may become loose.

Resolve this as follows.

1. Loosen the hex nut (B, Figure 38) with a

14mm wrench.

2. Tighten the set screw (A, Figure 38) with a

5mm hex wrench. Do not overtighten the set screw, as it may prevent the table from being raised and lowered easily.

3. Tighten hex nut (B, Figure 38).

4. Repeat for the other set screws as needed.

NOTE: The outfeed table is pre-set at the factory tighter than the infeed table. If you find the outfeed table difficult to move with the lifting handle, loosen the two set screws on the outfeed table, as just described.

Operating Controls

Press the start switch, shown in Figure 39, to begin rotation of the cutterhead. The stop button is a mushroom style button which is convenient for "emergency" shut-downs.

After being pushed, the stop button remains engaged. To re-start the Jointer, twist the stop button clockwise until it pops back out.

Operation

NOTE: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get the feel of operations before attempting regular work.

Stabilize long workpieces by using an assistant, or roller stands set level with the outfeed or infeed table surface.

The fence should be adjusted to create minimum exposure to the cutterhead during the jointing operation.

Check the following before operating the jointer:

1. Outfeed table must be set level with the high point of the knives.

2. Fence adjusted for minimum exposure of cutterhead, and locked at desired angle.

24

Figure 38

Figure 39

3. The cutterhead guard must be in place and operating properly (except when rabbeting).

4. Infeed table set for desired depth of cut.

5. Stand away from the cutterhead and turn the machine on for a few moments. Listen for any odd noises, rubbings, vibrations, etc.

Correct such problems before attempting operations on the jointer.

6. Carefully check your workpiece for knots, holes, staples or any foreign material that might damage knives or pose a risk of kickback. Also check the workpiece for grain orientation.

Hand Placement

At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion toward the cutterhead.

After the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is transferred to the outfeed side and presses down on this part of the workpiece, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence. The right hand presses the workpiece 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.

Surfacing

Always use a hold down or

push block when surfacing stock.

Jointing the face of stock, or surfacing, is shown in Figure 40. Adjust the infeed table for depth of cut. Cuts of approximately 1/16” at a time are recommended, as this allows better control over the material being surfaced. More passes can then be made to reach the desired depth.

Edge Jointing

This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set fence square with the table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Do not make cuts deeper than

1/8" in a single pass. Hold the best face of the workpiece firmly against the fence throughout the feed. See Figure 41.

25

Figure 40

Figure 41

Rabbeting

A rabbet cut requires removal of the guard. Use extreme caution and keep hands clear of cutterhead. Always re-install guard immediately after rabbeting operation is completed.

A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a board. See Figure 42. The width and thickness of the wood to be rabbeted depends upon the width and length of the rabbet. However, never rabbet a piece of wood less than 12” long.

Use push blocks to rabbet cut whenever possible. The rabbeting capacity is 1/2”.


2. Set fence for desired width of rabbet.

3. Check width of the rabbet by measuring the distance from the end of a knife in the cutterhead to the fence. NOTE: The knives must be extended beyond the cutterhead by

1/32”. (see “Replacing Knives in the

Cutterhead” for this procedure).

4. Re-connect power. It is easier and safer to take a series of shallow cuts. Lower the infeed table 1/32” at a time and make successive cuts until the desired depth of rabbet has been obtained. See Figure 42.

Jointing Short or Thin Work

When jointing short or thin work pieces, use a push block to eliminate all danger to the hands.

Two push blocks are shipped with your jointer.

You can also make your own easily from scrap material. Examples are shown in Figure 43.

Jointing Warped Surfaces

If the wood to be jointed is cupped or bowed, place the concave side down, and take light cuts until the surface is flat.

Avoid forcing such material down against the table – excessive pressure will spring it while passing the knives, and it will spring back and remain curved after the cut is completed.

Beveling

To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required angle and run the work piece across the knives while keeping it firmly against the fence and tables. Several passes may be necessary to achieve the desired result.

26

Figure 42

Figure 43

Although the fence may be tilted in or out for a bevel cut, it is recommended for safety reasons that the fence be tilted in toward the operator,

making a cradled cut.

Direction of Grain

Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain. This may result in chipped and splintered edges. See Figure 44. Feed with the grain to obtain a smooth surface, as shown in Figure 45.

Skewing (Shear Cutting)

When edging or facing material such as burl or birds-eye maple, it is not unusual to deface or mar the surface being finished. This is caused by the cutterhead knives at times cutting against the grain. In order to prevent the defacing or marring of this type wood, it is necessary to skew the material being worked so that it crosses the knives at an angle.

The fence will allow for this type of cut:

1. Release the fence locking handle (A, Figure

46) and remove the two hex nuts and washer (B, Figure 46) holding the fence to the slide bracket. Remove the fence assembly.

2. Remove the key (C, Figure 46) from the fence support. If necessary, use a flat head screwdriver to pry up one end of the key.

3. Replace the fence assembly at the desired angle across the cutterhead. See Figure 47.

Secure the fence to the slide bracket with the hex nuts and washer (B, Figure 46), then tighten the fence locking handle (A,

Figure 46).

NOTE: When placing the fence assembly back into normal position, be sure to first install the key into its slot.

27

Figure 44

Figure 45

Figure 46

Maintenance

Disconnect machine from power source before doing any maintenance. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

The table and fence surfaces must be kept clean and free of rust for best results. Some users apply a thin coat of paste wax. Avoid waxes or protective sprays that contain silicone, as this can transfer to the workpiece and make it difficult for later finishes to adhere to the wood.

Another option is talcum powder applied with a blackboard eraser rubbed in vigorously once a week; this will fill casting pores and form a moisture barrier. This method provides a table top that is slick and allows rust rings to be easily wiped from the surface. Important also is the fact that talcum powder will not stain wood or mar finishes as some other products.

Gum and pitch which collect on the knives cause excessive friction as the work continues, resulting in overheating of the knives, less efficient cutting, and consequent reduction in the life of the knives. Use oven cleaner or “gum and pitch remover” to wipe this off the knives. Use

caution when working around knives!

The bearings in the cutterhead are sealed for life and do not require lubrication.

The fence assembly should slide easily over the slide bracket. Keep the slide bracket, shown in

Figure 48, lubricated with a good quality multipurpose grease. Do not get grease on the drive belt.

Do not place heavy objects on the tables, or use the jointer as a storage table.

Sharpening Knives

Knives should be kept sharp. This will contribute to better stock finish, longer machine life, and safer operation.

A jointer knife hone provides a simple way to sharpen knives. Hones are available from many woodworking supply stores. Carefully read any instructions that accompany the hone.

Use caution and proceed slowly when sharpening knives. Disconnect jointer from power source, and wear approved eye protection.

When finished sharpening knives, they should be re-set level with and parallel to the outfeed table. See “Setting Knives at Correct Height and

Parallel to Outfeed Table” on page 18.

28

Figure 47

(skewing the fence)

Figure 48

Knives can usually be whetted several times in the cutterhead before having to be removed and re-ground.

TIP: If the jointer is used frequently, keeping a spare set of knives on hand is recommended.

Extra knives (stock no. 6296046, set of 3) may be obtained from your distributor, or by calling customer service at 1-800-274-6848.

Cutterhead Repairs

The entire cutterhead assembly may be removed from the Jointer for bearing replacement or other maintenance procedures.

Use caution when working

around sharp knives.

To remove the cutterhead, proceed as follows:


2. Remove fence assembly from jointer.

3. Lower both infeed and outfeed table.

4. Remove belt guard, and remove drive belt from around cutterhead pulley.

5. Remove knives from cutterhead.

6. Remove rabbeting ledge by loosening and removing the two hex cap screws and washers which secure it to the infeed table.

7. Loosen the two bolts that secure the cutterhead to the base; these are accessed through the gap below the jointer base. See

Figures 49 and 50. Place a wrench on each of the bolt heads and turn each bolt until the cutterhead is loosened.

8. Lift cutterhead straight up from base.

9. Remove pulley and both bearing housings.

IMPORTANT: If the bearings need replacement, this should be done by qualified service personnel. Bearings are press fitted and must be removed or installed with an “arbor press”.

10. To re-install cutterhead, reverse the above procedure. Before re-installing, make sure the machine's curved seats of the base casting are free of dirt, dust or grease, to help ensure a tight fit.

11. After the cutterhead has been installed, check the infeed and outfeed table settings in relationship to the cutterhead.

TIP: You may wish to keep an extra cutterhead on hand to maintain shop productivity.

Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses.

Troubleshooting – Mechanical and Electrical Problems

No incoming power.

Overload automatic reset has not reset.

Jointer frequently trips.

Building circuit breaker trips or fuse blows.

Switch or motor failure (how to distinguish).

Motor overheated.

Motor failure.

Remedy

Verify unit is connected to power, onbutton is pushed in completely, and stop-button is disengaged. See page

24.

When jointer overloads on the circuit breaker built into the motor starter, it takes time for the machine to cool down before restart. Allow unit to adequately cool before attempting restart. If problem persists, check amp setting on the motor starter inside the electrical enclosure.

One cause of overloading trips which are not electrical in nature is too heavy a cut. The solution is to take a lighter cut. If too deep a cut is not the problem, then check the amp setting on the overload relay. Match the full load amps on the motor as noted on the motor plate. If amp setting is correct then there is probably a loose electrical lead. Check amp setting on motor starter.

Verify that jointer is on a circuit of correct size. If circuit size is correct, there is probably a loose electrical lead. Check amp setting on motor starter.

If you have access to a voltmeter, you can separate a starter failure from a motor failure by first, verifying incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and second, checking the voltage between starter and motor at 220+/-

20. If incoming voltage is incorrect, you have a power supply problem. If voltage between starter and motor is incorrect, you have a starter problem.

If voltage between starter and motor is correct, you have a motor problem.

Clean motor of dust or debris to allow proper air circulation. Allow motor to cool down before restarting.

If electric motor is suspect, you have two options: Have a qualified electrician test the motor for function or remove the motor and take it to a qualified electric motor repair shop and have it tested.

31

Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses.

Miswiring of the unit.

On/off switch failure.

Remedy

Double check to confirm all electrical connections are correct. Refer to appropriate wiring diagrams on pages

44 through 46 to make any needed corrections.

If the on/off switch is suspect, you have two options: Have a qualified electrician test the switch for function, or purchase a new on/off switch and establish if that was the problem on changeout.
