tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly
into propedy grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and
the three wires of the extension cord should be of
the correct gauge.
• Keep visitorsat a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child-
proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch
keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-
ing procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.

that the guard or other parts will operate propedy
and perform their intended function.
• Check fordamaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting end any
other condition that may affect a tool's operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be
prepedy repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order
replacement parts.)
KNOW HOWTO USE TOOL
• Use right tool forjob. Do not force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing blades.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the
rate for which it was designed.

DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 6'/8"jointer/planeris used to surface the faces
and edges of boards, produce a flat surface on warped
boards and shape bevels, chamfers and tapers. The joint-
er/planer features cast aluminum infeed and outfeed
tables, lightweight plastic body with smooth work sur-
faces and leadscrews for precise table height adjustment.
Balanced guide fence tilts 45" (inward) and 45" (outward).
Tool comes with locking rocker switch with removable key
and push blocks. Jointer/planer easily handles rough-cut
lumber, planes hard and soft woods up to 6'/6"wide using
a two blade cutterhead, and takes cuts up to '/8"
OPERATION SAFETY RULES
Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small
amount of wood is removed from the edges and faces of
boards to get smooth, straight and even surfaces such
that the two edges that run across the planing blocks
would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless joint.
Planing refers to 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 blades will cut into the 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, 5 and 6).
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on
jointer/planer, turn switch oft 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
