The fence can be adjusted to cut angIes from 0 ° to 45Q. The fence can
be tilted inboard (toward the cutter head) to maintain greater stability
of a narrow workpiece
or 45" outboard (away from cutter head) for
larger angle cutting operations

speed should be maintained.
A feed rate that is too fast will slow
the motor down resulting
in a poor cut and poor chfp discharge.
The type of wood, wood grain, and moisture content of the wood
all affect an acceptable
feed rate

Do not plane, joint or bevet wood shorter than 12 in Matertai this
short is more difficult
to control while being cuL Small pieces of
wood can tip over on the tables or into the cutterhead
and can be
kicked back toward you
For best resutts, take light cuts For average planing, jointtng, or
beveling, a cut between 1132 and 1t16 in. deep wil! produce the
best resutts

SETTING

THE GUARD

STOP

Rotate the guard stop and knob clockwise until it contacts the
cutter guard and lock the knob To prevent binding or pinchlng,
some clearance will be required between the guard stop and
the cutter guard..

The guard stop is now set to cut workpiece
as the sample used in the set up..

Be sure to use this procedure
whenever
using the Jointerf
Planer and lock the cutter guard in the fuily closed position
when not in use to prevent Injury to anyone unfamiliar
with this
tooi_ Failure to do so may result in serious injury

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SWITCH iS IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE CORD UNPLUGGED BEFORE SETTING THE
GUARD STOP.
The guard stop assembly allows you to limit the cutter guard opening during operation and can be adjusted to prevent the cutter guard
from opening when the JolntedPtaner
is not in use.
As a Safety Cover
When the JointerlPlaner
is not in use, rotate the guard stop and
knob clockwise
until it contacts the cutter guard and lock the knob.

With the Jointer/Planer
switch in the off position and the cord

place a workpiece

Loosen the guard stop knob and pass the workplece between

FEEDING

THE WORK

PIECE

Hoid the board firmty DOWN on both tables and AGAINST
keep fingers close together

the fence

Feed the board at a continuous
even rate of speed until the cut is
made along the entire length of the board Any hesitation
or stopping could cause a "step" to be cut on the edge of the board which
would cause the board to ride up on the outfeed table resulting in a
"crooked"
edge on the board

FEED

Always feed WITH THE GRAIN whenever possible. If the nature of
the work ptece is such that it must be fed AGAINST THE GRAIN,
take very light c[Jts and feed siowiy.

ROTATION

HAND-OVER=HAND

Start with the left hand in the forward position. As the RIGHT hand
passes over the cutterhead,
remove the LEFT hand ,.CONTINUE
feeding while placing the LEFT hand behind the RIGHT Continue
feeding in this manner "hand over hand," until the entire length of
the board is cut Pressure should be applied over the cutterhead
and outfeed table
DO NOT FEED TOO FAST A slow steady rate of feed produces a
smooth accurate cut.. Feeding too fast causes a "rippled"
cut..
makes it difficult
to guide the workpiece
accurately
and could be
hazardous

,_WARNING:
NEVER PLACE THE HEEL OF YOUR HAND AT
THE END OF THE WORK PIECE WHEN FINISHING
A CUT.
THIS COULD RESULT tN YOUR HAND COMING IN CONTACT
WITH THE CUTTER CAUSING SERIOUS tNJURY.

At the end of the cut, position your hand on TOP NEAR THE END
of the work piece and continue
feeding the work piece until the
cutter guard has returned to its closed position
