21. The tightening process should continue at
least two more times, each time tightening
the gib screws further on all three knives in
turn. On the third time, the gib screws
should all be firmly tightened.
Before operating the jointer,
make sure all gib screws are firmly
tightened. A loose knife thrown from the
cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury.
22. After all knife adjustments are completed,
the guards and fence assembly should be
placed back on the machine before
operating.
Outfeed Table Stop Screws
The stop screw (B, Figure 33) limits the amount
of fall of the outfeed table. The stop screw has
been pre-set at the factory, but if future
adjustment is ever needed, simply loosen the
hex nut (A, Figure 33) and turn the screw (B,
Figure 33) as needed with a 14mm wrench.
When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (A, Figure
33).
The screw (C, Figure 33) limits the rise of the
outfeed table. If adjustment is needed, loosen
the hex nut (D, Figure 33) and turn the screw (C,
Figure 33) as needed with a 9mm hex wrench.
When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (D, Figure
33).
Setting Infeed Table (Depth of Cut)
1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 34).
2. Move table adjustment arm (B, Figure 34) to
raise or lower infeed table to the desired
depth of cut, which is shown on the gauge
via the pointer (C, Figure 34).
NOTE: Do not exceed 1/8” maximum depth of
cut. For deeper cuts, make several passes.
3. Re-tighten locking handle (A, Figure 34).
Infeed Table Depth Stop
The knob (Figure 35) controls a depth stop.
When the infeed table is lowered, it will stop at
the 1/8” depth mark.
To further lower the infeed table, such as for
rabbeting operations, disengage the depth stop
by pulling out on the knob, rotating the knob 90°
and then releasing it. The infeed table can then
be lowered all the way.
To re-engage the depth stop, rotate the knob
90° until the knob snaps back in.
