• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-preng
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
EXTENSION CORD LENGTH
Wire Size A.W.G.
Up to 50 ft................................ 16
50-100 ft.................................. 14
NOTE: Using extension cords over 100 ft. long is not
recommended.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is turned oft and discon-
nected from power source before inspecting any wiring.
The unit is wired as illustrated in the wiring schematic
(see Figure 6).

Figure 6 - Wiring Schematic
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
- pole locking rocker switch.
• Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 6'/8"jointer/planer is used to surface the faces
and edges of boards, produce a flat surface on warped
boards and shape bevels, chamfers and tapers. The joint-
er/planer features cast aluminum infeed and outfeed
tables, lightweight plastic body with smooth work sur-
faces and leadscrews for precise table height adjustment.
Balanced guide fence tilts 45" (inward) and 45" (outward).
Tool comes with locking rocker switch with removable key
and push blocks. Jointer/planer easily handles rough-cut
lumber, planes hard and soft woods up to 6'/6"wide using
a two blade cutterhead, and takes cuts up to '/8"
OPERATION SAFETY RULES
Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small
amount of wood is removed from the edges and faces of
boards to get smooth, straight and even surfaces such
that the two edges that run across the planing blocks
would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless joint.
Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thick-
ness while creating a level surface parallel to the oppo-
site size of the board. Depth of cut is the term used to
indicate how deep the blades will cut into the workpiece.
WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the
instructions and safety precautions before operating
tool.
• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-
cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on
jointer/planer, turn switch oft and remove plug from
power source.
• Make sure all guards are properly attached and
securely fastened.
• Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached
to cutterhead.
• Do not plug in jointer/planer unless switch is in "off"
position. After turning switch on, allow jointer/planer
to come to full speed before operating.
• Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
• Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat
motor,
