Rotation

Figure 28 - Direction of Feed

• If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be

fed against the grain, take very lightcuts and feed

slowly.

• When using long workpieces, to avoid injury from

slips or kickbacks and to exert even pressure on the

cutterhead, use extra supports (see Recommended

Accessories, page 17) at both infeed and outfeed

ends.

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

rabbeting wood that is narrower than 3", planing

wood thinner than 3".

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

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

push the workpiece down against the table.

• Use a hand-over-hand motion to maintain control

over the workpiece at all times.

Jointer/planer will operate best if it is kept in good oper-

ating condition. Keep unit adjusted as described in

"Operation."

• Do not allow gum and pitch to accumulate on the

tables, fence, knives and knife guard.

• Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and

the fence so that the wood slides easily while feed-

ing.

• Do not allow chips to accumulate on the underside

of the jointer/planer.

• Keep knives sharp (see =Sharpening Knives,"page

12). Sometimes replacing knives is less expensive

than resurfacingthem. Keeping a spare set of knives

on hand is recommended. Knives should always be

sharpened or replaced in sets of three.

LUBRICATION

WARNING: Make sure the switch is in the =OFF" posi-

tion and the tool is disconnected from the power

source.

• Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need

no lubrication.

• Fence guide and elevation screws should be cleaned

of debris and greased as needed.

• Occasionally apply a few drops of light machine oil

to gibs to keep tables slidingfree in relation to base.

MACHINED SURFACES

• Surfaceof tablesand fence must be keptsmoothand

dean foreasy workfeed.

• Apply a paste wax to surfaces to keep them slick

and prevent corrosion.

• When planing wo_rkpiecebetween 1/=.3/4,and nar-

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

that it clears the cutterhead guard while feeding.
