BASIC JOINTER=-PLANER OPERATION

For your safety do not exceed a 1t16" deep cut on a planing

operation for work pieces wider than 1..1/2" For work pieces less

than 1-1t2", a 118" cut can be taken at a stow feed rate

This Jo}nter-PJaner is designed with a special cutter head and

internat baffle that blows the sawdust and chips from the rear of

the machine To keep this system operating properly, the motor

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

,_CAUTtON: MAKE SURE ALL SiX BLADE LOCKING

SCREWS ARE TIGHTENED SECURELY BEFORE AT-

TEMPTING TO TURN THE MACHINE'ON" OR ATTEMPT-

ING ANY OPERATION

For your own safety, ALWAYS use hold downtpush blocks when

JOINTING wood that is NARROWER than 3in.. or when

PLANING wood that is THINNER than 3 in.

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

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SWITCH iS IN THE OFF POSI-

TION AND THE CORD UNPLUGGED BEFORE SETTING THE

GUARD STOP.

The guard stop assembly allows you to limit the cutter guard open-

ing 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.

During Operation

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

unplugged place a workpiece of the size to be used on the

infeed table

2 Loosen the guard stop knob and pass the workplece between

the fence and the cutter guard and through the cutter area

until the cutter guard is rotated as far as this workplece wi!l

require

3 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..

4 The guard stop is now set to cut workpiece of the same width

as the sample used in the set up..

5 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

FEEDING THE WORK PIECE

Hoid the board firmty DOWN on both tables and AGAINST the fence

keep fingers close together

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 stop-

ping 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

WI"Frl1HE GRA_ AGA|NST THF_ GRA}N

WORK PIECE _ FEED

ROTATION

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.

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

HAND-OVER=HAND

,_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

RIGHT

USING HOLD DOWNIPUSH BLOCKS

ALWAYS use the hold down/push blocks when JO_NTING wood

that is NARROWER than 3 in or PLANING wood that is THINNER

than 3 in

Grasp the hold downlpush btocks firmly with the fingers close to..

gether and wrapped around the handle Position them fiat on top of

workpiece, and push the workpiece down against the table to pro-

vide a quality cut and minimize the chance of a kickback.

Hold down pressure must be sufficient to prevent hold down/push

block from sliding or slipping on the surface of the workpiece when

advancing work piece over cutter head

Use a handoover,.hand motion of the hold downlpush blocks being

careful to maintain control of the workpiece at all times

HAND'OVER HAND

This means that once the work piece has passed the cutter head

onto outfeed table, one hold downlpush block must always main °

tain contact with the work piece with outfeed table

When planing wood 3t4 in. thick and NARROWER than the hold

downlpush btock, tilt the hold downlpush block so that it clears

the top of the cutter guard while feeding.

Never plane wood that is thinner than 1/2 in .because it is apt to

split or shatter and thus has a greater tendency to kickback

,_CAUTION: IF THE HOLD DOWNfPUSH BLOCKS TEND TO

SLIP WHILE FEEDING, CLEAN RUBBER SURFACE IMMEDI-

ATELY WITH SANDPAPER.

BEVELING AND CHAMFERING

The fence on your jointer-planer is adjustable_rom 45 ° inboard

to 45 ° outboard Adjust the fence to desired angle and tighten

lock knobs

BEVELING is the cutting of an angle on the entire edge of a

board Beveling may require several passes due to the depth of

cut needed to bevel entire edge of board.

OUTBOARD

BEVEL

EDGE

CHAMFER

EDGE

CHAMFERING is removing only lhe corner of the edge of a

board Normally a chamfer is made with one cut; therefore, a cut

deeper than 1116" may be made

Forbevelingandchamferingoperations, follow the same

procedure as for jointing and planing described on pages 10 and

1t Before performing these operations make sure the surface of

the work piece that contacts the fence is fiat and smooth Main-

tain firm control of the work piece at all times holding it firmly

against fence surface and tabie surfaces,

Use hold downlpush bfocks for wood under 3 in, wide Position

them so you have contro_ of the work piece at ail times and so

they do not contact the guard or the cutter head
