DESCRIPTION

Craftsman 6%" jointer/planer is used to s_Jrfacethe faces

and edges of boards, produce a fiat surface on warped

boards and shape bevels, chamfers and tapers. The joint-

er/ptaner features cast aluminum iofeed and ouffeed

tables, lightweightplastic body withsmooth work surfaces

and lead screws for precise table height adjustment.

Balanced guide fence tilts 45 °(Inw_d) and 45° (outward).

Tool comes wlt_ iockJng ro_er switch with removable key

and push blocks.Jointer/placer easily handles rough-cut

lumber,planes hard and soft woods up to 6_ "wide using

a two blade cuttorhead, and takes cuts up to %".

OPERATION SAFETY RULES

dothtlng Is a surfeclng operatLonin which a smaLL

amount of wood is removed from the edges and feces 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-

hess while creating alevel surface parallel to the oppo-

site size of the board. Depth of cut is the term used to

iedlcete how deep the blades will cut into the workplece.

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

cemplylng with United States ANSi Z87.1 (shown on

package) before commencing power tool operation.

WARNING: For your own safety,,read art of _he

insb'uctlonsand 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 off and remove plug from

power source.

•Make sure all guards ere 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 inJolnter/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.

• Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are

smoother with good quality wood.

•Do not perform jointing/planing operations on materi-

al shorter than 8%", narrower than _/4",or !ess than

I/_,,thick

•Never make jointing cut deeper than 'k".

•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 workplace adequately at all times during

operation; maintain control of the workplace.

•Use hold-down/push blocks for jolntlng 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 cotterbead's rotation.

Kickback or thrown debris will travel In this direction.

•Turn switch offand 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 g-lO).

DEPTH OF CUT

Refer to Figure 7.

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

workplece. Turning the handwhool clockwise will raise

the Infeed table causing less wood to be removed from

workpleca.

Do not make jointing or planing cuts deeper than V#.

CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the "off positJon

and the cord is unplugged from power source before

perform)rig this check.

POSITIONING FENCE

The fence can be adjusted to cut various angles from

0°-45 °inward and outward. The fence can be tilted

idward up to 45" (toward the cutterhead) to maintain

greater stability of a narrow workplece or up to 45°out-

ward (away from cutterhead) for larger angle cutting

operations.

To adjust tilt angle:

•Loosen fence tilthandle.

•The fence tilt handle is spring loaded. To continue

turning the handle, gently pull the handle away from

the fence and return It to the odglnal position.

•Release the handle and continue loosening.

• Manually tilt fence Inward/outward to the desired

angle. Use the scale on the left side offence bracket

to measure tilt angle.

NOTE: The fence has positive stops at 0 °(g0°from

table) and at 45" Inward.

•Tighten fence tilt handle.

•To continue tightening, gently pull the handle away

from fence and return the handle to the original posi-

tion.

•Re)ease the handle and continue tightening.

•Make sure the fence )s tight and secure.

The slotted plates on the fence bracket prevent the

btadas from being exposed. Do not remove the ptatas

at any time. The fence can be positioned so that the

desired width of the blade is exposed.

To adjust fence position:

•Loosen fence slide hand)e.

•S)ide fence forward to the desired position.

•Tighten tense slide beadle.

•Make sure fence Is tight and secure,

•Loosen fence rock handle.

CAUTION: Do not remove blade guard and slotted

plates. Make sure that the cutterhead Is covered all the

time.

CAUTION: Do not slide fence away from the jointer

body. All sides of the cutterhead must be covered all the

time.

BLADE GUARD

The blade guard provides protection over the cuttar-

head. It must always be in place and function properly.

Check the guard to make sure it functions properly. To

check:

•Pass a V*"thick piece of wood over the cutter'head

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.

• Open the blade guard all the way until It stops, and

release it several times. It should always return to its

original position by spring action.

CAUTION: If the blade guard fails to operate properly,

the spring must be replaced or adjusted.

•To replace spring, contact your nearest Rears store

or service center.

=To adjust or to assemble spring see "Adjus'dngBlade

Guard", page 9.

ADJUSTING BLADE HEIGHT

Refer to Figures 9 and 10,

CAUTION: Make sure the switch is in the "OFF" posi-

tion and cord is unplugged before proceeding with

checking blades.

The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure

proper operation and should require no adjusb'nent,

However, shipping and handling may have caused rues-

alignment. For accurate cutting, the blades must be

0.003" higher than the outfeed table when positioned at

the highest point. To check blade height:

•Block the blade guard from closing using a scrap

piece of wood about 6V_"long between the fence

and blade guard.

FEEDING WORKPIECE

Refer to Figures 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Feed rate refers to rate at which wood is passed over

blades. An even feed will produce a uniform service. To

feed workpiece:

•Hold the board firmly down on both tables and

against the fence.

• Keep fingers close together.

•Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed.

Any hesitation or stopping could cause a "step"to be

cut on the edge of the board.

Againstthe Grain

Rotation

Figure 14 - Dlrecttan of Feed

•If the nature of the workpiece is such that ]t must be

fed against the grain, take very light cuts and feed

siowiy.

• When using longworkpiscas, to avoid injuryfrom slips

or kickbacksand to exer_even pressure on the cuiter-

heed, use extra supports (see Recommended

Accessodas, page 15) at both infeed and outfeed ends.

USING HOLD DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS

Refer to Figure 15.

•Always use hold-down/push-blocks when jolndng, or

rabbeting wood that is narrower than 3", planing

wood thinner than 3".

Figure 12 - Feeding Workplace

•As the b'alllng hand passes over the cutterheed,

remove the leading hand.

•Continue feeding while placing the leading hand

behind the trslllng hand until the entire length of the

board is cut.

Figure 13 - Guiding Workplace

Figure 15,- Feeding with Push Blocks

•Grasp the hoio-down/push-blocks firmly.

•Position the push-blocks flat on top of workpiece and

push the workpieco down against the table.

•Use ahand-over-hand motion to maintain control

over the workpiece at all times.

•When planing workplace between _-_J_"and nar-

rower than the push-blocks, tilt the push-blocks so

that It clears the cutterhead guard while feedtng.

BEVELING AND CHAMFERING

Rear to Figure 16, page 9.

45" Inward to 45" outward. Adjust the fence to the

desired angle and tighten fence lock knobs. You may

require to lift the positive pin to move fence.

• Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board

at an angle. Beveling may require several passes

due to the depth of cut needed.

•Chamfering refers to removing only the comer of the

edge of a board. Normally a chamfer Is made on one

pass; so a '/,e" depth of cut Is marie.

Charnfer_ Edge

Figure 16 - Beveling and Chamfering

USING A VACUUM HOSE

A standard dust collection hose can be attached to the

exhaust port (2 _h" Die.) on the rear of the Jointer.Jolnter

will perform properly at all depths of cuts up to '/," when

used with a dust collecting system. {See "Avoid Damage

to Blades', page 7.) To attach a dust collecting system:

•Insert the dust collection hose to the exhaust port on

the rear of the jointer.

• Turn the dust coJlecting system on.

•Turn the Jotnter on.

•Periodicallyreplace/empty bag in dustcollection system.

If the blades are nicked they must be replaced or

reground. They can be reground several times until they

become '_lte"wide.

NOTE: Many shops do not have capabilities to resur-

face blades. Yellow pages should list "Sharpening

Services" or "Tool Grinding:

Figure 17 • Sharpening Blades

Never Install unbalanced blades or reground blades

less than '_/." wide.

REPLACING BLADES

Refer to Figures 18 and "_g.pages g _nd 10.

•Unplug the jolnter/planer from power source and turn

the switch to "OFF" position.

•Block the blade guard from closing down.

•Loosen and remove three blade lock screws secur-

ing blade and blade clamp.

WARNING: Turn the switch to "Off" position and

unplug jointerlptaner from power source before pro-

ceeding to do maintenance work,

CHECKING FOR WORN BLADES

Condition of blades will affect precision of cut. If blade

wear is not observed when checking the btade height,

the quality of cut will indicate the blade condition. Dull

blades will tear rather than sever wood fiber. A raised

grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood where

there is difference in density, A raised ridge will be pro-

duced where the blades have been nicked.

SHARPENING BLADES

Refer to Figure 17.

The blades can be honed individually by whetting them

with a fine sharpening stone. Make sure oilstone is fiat

and is cot worn. To sharpen blades:

•Partially cover the stone with paper to protect the

table top.

•Position in_=edtable so stone will contact blade

along its beveled surface.

•Stroke the stone across blade from one side to other

while stone is also moved slightly in the direction of

feed.

•Make sure to do the same number of atTokeson

each place.
