Safety Instructions for Basic Jointer/Planer Operation (con’t.)

Before freeing jammed material.

• Turn switch “OFF”.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

• Check blades, cutter and fence for proper alignment

before starting again.

Before Leaving the jointer/planer.

• Turn the jointer/planer off.

• Wait for jointer/planer to come to a complete stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect

master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store

it away from children and others not qualified to use

the tool.

Basic Jointer/Planer Cutting Operations

Depth of Cut Handwheel Operation

Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will lower the

infeed table. This will cause more wood to be removed

from the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will raise the

infeed table causing less wood to be removed from the

workpiece.

The maximum amount of wood that can be removed dur-

ing one cut is 1/8".

Stop Pin Operation

A stop pin is supplied to prevent planing or jointing more

than 1/8" depth of cut. Planing and jointing operations

greater than 1/8" per pass are not recommended. Only

rabbeting operations should be performed at cutting

depths greater than 1/8". Never cut a full 1/2" rabbet in

one cut. Cut in 1/8" depth increments until your full depth

is acquired.

Feeding the Workpiece

Hold the board firmly 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

stopping could cause a “step” to be cut on the edge of the

board which would cause the board to ride up on the out-

feed table resulting in a “crooked” edge on the board.

As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead, remove

the leading hand. Continue feeding while placing the

leading hand behind the trailing hand. Continue feeding

in this manner “hand over hand”, until the entire length of

the board is cut. As soon as enough of the workpiece has

been cut to do so, put pressure over the cutterhead

and outfeed table.

Do not feed too fast. A slow steady rate of feed pro-

duces a smooth accurate cut. Feeding too fast causes a

“rippled” cut, makes it difficult to guide the workpiece

accurately, and could be dangerous.

NOTE: Wood chips may accumulate inside the jointer/

planer. Periodically clean out the chips from the interior of

the jointer/planer.

NOTE: Before cleaning wood chips.

• Turn switch “OFF”.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

Feed with the grain whenever possible. If the nature of

the workpiece is such that it must be fed against the

grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly.
