. Do not perform jointing/planing operations on materi-
al shorter than 6W', narrower than 3/4",or less than
1/4"thick
° Never make jointing cut deeper than W'.
. Always keep cutterhead and blade guards in proper
working condition.
. Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and out-
feed table surfaces and cutterhead blade path.
. Do not back the work toward the infeed table.
. Support the workpiece adequately at all times during
operation; maintain control of the workpiece.
° Use hold-down/push blocks for jointing material nar-
rower than 3" or planing material thinner than 3".
. Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-
one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.
Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.
. Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever
jointer/planer is not in use.
. Replace or sharpen blades as they become damaged
or dull.
. Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or little used
operation without study and the use of adequate hold-
down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops and the like.
° Keep jointer/planer maintained. Follow maintenance
instructions (see pages 9-10).
DEPTH OF CUT
Refer to Figure 8.
The depth of cut is adjusted by the relative positioning
of the infeed table with respect to the cutterhead. Infeed
table can be raised or lowered using the handwheel.
Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will lower the
infeed table causing more wood to be removed from
workpiece. Turning the handwheel clockwise will raise
the infeed table causing less wood to be removed from
workpiece.

CHECK DEPTH OF CUT
Refer to Figures 9 and 24.
. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table extending
over the infeed table.
. Measure from the surface of the infeed table to the bot-
tom of the straight edge. This will be the depth of cut.
° Adjust pointer.
° Calibrate depth indicator to scale (Figure 24, Key Nos.
72 and 39).
° Use locking knob on rear of jointer to secure infeed
table in position.

NOTE: This jointer/planer will make a maximum 1/8"
deep cut. To reduce the danger of kickback and possi-
ble injury, we recommend taking cuts of 1/16"or less.
CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the OFF posi-
tion and the cord is unplugged from power source
before performing this check.
POSITIONING FENCE
Refer to Figure 10.
The fence can be adjusted to cut various angles from
0° to 45° outward.
To adjust fence position:
. Loosen fence locking handles from both sides of the
fence.
. Each fence bracket has a positive set screw and
locking nut to stop fence at 0° (90 ° to table) and at
45° outward.
. Fence can be tilted to any desired angle within the
range.
. To lock fence, tighten the fence locking handles.

BLADE GUARD
The blade guard provides protection over the cutter-
head. It must always be in place and function properly.
Check the guard to make sure it functions properly. To
check:
. Pass a 1/4"thick piece of wood over the cutterhead
between the guard and the fence. The guard will
spread and leave way for the wood piece to pass.
The guard must return to the original position auto-
matically when the wood piece is removed.
