Planing refersto the sizing of lumber to a desired thick-

ness while creating a level surface parallel to the oppo-

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

indicate how deep the knives will cut into the workpiece.

A rabbet is a notch cut into the edge of workpiece.

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

complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on

package) before commencing power tool operation.

WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the

instructions and safety precautions before operating

tool.

• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-

cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3 and 9).

• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on

jointer/planer, turn switch off and remove plug from

power source.

• Make sure all guards are 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 in jointer/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.Allow automatic feed to function properly.

• 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 s//, or less than

'/," thick

• Never make jointing or rabbeting cut deeper than '//'.

• Always keep cutterhead and knife 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 workpiece adequately at all times during

operation; maintain control of the workpiece.

• Use hold-dowrdpush blocks for jointing material nar-

rower th_{n3" or planing material thinner than 3-.

• Take precautions against kickback.Do not permit any-

one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.

Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.

• Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever

jointer/planer is not in use.

• Replace or sharpen knives 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-

" _"own/push blocks,jigs, fixtures, stops and the like.

• Keep jointer/planer maintained. Follow maintenance

in,'itructions(see page 13).

DEPTH OF CUT

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

workpiece. Turning the handwheel clockwise will raise

the infeed table cansing less wood to be removed from

workpiece.

Do not make jointing, planing or rabbeting cuts deeper

than '/B".A stop pin is supplied to prevent planing or

jointing more than '/," depth of cut.

POSITIONING FENCE

Refer to Figure 17.

WARNING: Turn jointer/planer off.and wait for all parts

to stop before adjusting fence.

The fence can be tilted to any desired angle, and slide

it back and forth.To tilt fence:

• Loosen tilt knob.

• Move fence to desired angle.

• Tighten knob.

SlidingKnob

_'l'ilt Knob

Figure 17 - Positioning Fence

The fence can be slide it across the jointer/planer bed

when the workpiece will not be cut across the full width

or when there is a need to make use of only a portion

of the knives. To slide fence:

• Loosen sliding knob.

• Slide fence to desired position.

• Tighten sliding knob.

When work is completed, restore fence to extreme rear

of the outfeed and infeed tables, but not beyond the

end of blades.
