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
10
,_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

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.

BEVEL
EDGE
CHAMFER
EDGE
tl
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
