POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120/240 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

1.All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2.Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage, 120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready- to-run for 120 volt operation. However, it can be converted for 240 volt operation.

A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the machine can be taken to an Authorized Delta Service Center. When completed, the machine must conform to the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.

The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 240 volts, installing a 240 volt plug on the power supply cord and replacing the switch with one that is rated for 240 volt operation. (Delta P/N 438-01-017- 0141 needed for 240 volt operation.)

Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet having the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

STARTING AND STOPPING JOINTER

1.The on/off switch (A) Fig. 33 is located on the front of the jointer. To turn the machine "ON", move switch (A) up to the "ON" position.

2.To turn the machine "OFF", move the switch down to the "OFF" position.

Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

LOCKING SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the switch, grasp the switch toggle (A) Fig. 33 and pull it out of the switch. With the switch toggle (B) Fig. 34 removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the saw is running, the machine can be turned "OFF," but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle (B).

INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
	Fig. 35

1.To raise or lower the infeed table, loosen table lockhandle (A) Fig. 35, move the table raising and lowering handle (B) up or down until the table is at the desired position and tighten table lockhandle (A).

15 - English

2. NOTE: When raising or lowering the infeed table a plunger located on other end of the index stop (C) Fig. 36, automatically stops the table at 1/8 inch depth of cut. To move the table past this point it is necessary to pull out index stop (C) and move the table up or down. IMPORTANT: Always make sure table lockhandle (A) is tightened before operation. The table lockhandle

(A) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located under the handle.

3.The depth of cut of the infeed table (position of table in relationship with the cutting circle) can be read with the pointer (D) Fig. 36, and scale (E). Maximum table depth adjustment with this 6" jointer is 1/2 inch.

INFEED TABLE POSITIVE STOPS

Positive stops are provided to limit the height and depth of the infeed table. To adjust the stops, loosen two locknuts

(F) and (G) Fig. 37, and turn the two adjusting screws (J) and (K) as required. Then retighten the locknuts (F) and

(G). A good suggestion is to set the upper positive stop

(J) for your finish or final cut. This means that you will be able to rapidly set the infeed table for a finish or final cut without checking the scale and pointer. Also the lower positive stop (K) can be set for the maximum 1/2" depth of cut or if you desire to limit the depth of cut, adjust the stop screw (K) accordingly.

OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

For most jointing operations the outfeed table must be level with the knives at their highest point of revolution. This means that the knives must be parallel to the outfeed table and project equally from the cutterhead. To move the outfeed table up or down, loosen lockscrew

(A) Fig. 38, and turn hand knob (B). When the outfeed table is level with the knives at their highest point of revolution, tighten lockscrew (A).

KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

In order to do accurate work, the knives must be exactly level with the outfeed table. To check and adjust, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Loosen lock lever (A) Fig. 40, and lower the infeed table by pushing handle (B) down. Remove cutterhead guard (C).

3.Place a straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the cutterhead as shown in Fig. 39 and 42.

5.If the knife is high or low at either end, slightly turn the four screws (D) Fig. 41, in the knife locking bar clockwise to loosen using the wrench (E) supplied. Then adjust the height of the knife by turning the knife raising screws (F) Fig. 42, counterclockwise to lower and clockwise to raise the knife.

NOTE: If the knife is to be lowered it will be necessary to wear protective gloves and carefully push down on the knife with a piece of scrap wood after screws (F) have been turned.

6.Repeat these procedures for adjusting the remaining two knives.

7.If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 43, and the finished surface will be curved.

8.If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 44.

9.As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches. The wood should rest firmly on both tables as shown in Fig. 45, with no open spaces under the finished cut.

ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS

"Gibs" are provided to take up all play between the mating dovetail ways of the base and the infeed and outfeed tables. The "gib" for the infeed table is shown at (A) Fig. 46, and the "gib" for the outfeed table is shown at (B) Fig. 47. Proper "gib" adjustment is necessary for the correct functioning of the jointer. The "gibs" were adjusted at the factory and should require no further adjustment. If it becomes necessary to adjust the "gibs", proceed as follows:

1.To adjust the infeed or outfeed table "gibs," loosen three locknuts (F) Fig. 46, for the infeed table or two locknuts (G) Fig. 47, for the outfeed table. For the infeed table, make sure the table locking lever is loose. For the outfeed table, make sure the table locking screw (E) Fig. 47, is loose.

2.Tighten or loosen three gib adjustment screws (C) Fig. 46, as necessary for the infeed table or two gib adjustment screws (D) Fig. 47, as necessary for the outfeed table; starting with the lower screw first and as you proceed to the top screw, gently raise the outboard edge of the table that is being adjusted. This will offset any tendency for the table casting to "droop or sag" and permit the gib to be adjusted to a secure fit. After the gibs have been adjusted, tighten locknuts (F) Fig. 46, (G) Fig. 47, table locking screw

(E) Fig. 47, and infeed table locking lever.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave the adjusting screws too loose. It should take a little bit of effort to move the tables up or down. Jointers are finishing machines and you can’t expect proper accuracy or finish if the tables are not set properly.

FENCE OPERATION

The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt 45 degrees right or left at any position on the table as follows:

1.To move the fence across the table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 48, slide fence to the desired position on the table and tighten lockhandle (A). As the fence is moved across the table, the rear cutterhead guard

(B)covers and guards the cutterhead in back of the fence. NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling up on the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath the hub of the handle.

2.To tilt the fence to the right or left loosen lock handle (C) Fig. 49, and pull out and turn plunger

(D)to release the positive stop. A tilting lever (E) is provided on the back of the fence to assist in tilting the fence. NOTE: Lock handle (C) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath the hub of the handle.

3.Tilt the fence to the desired angle, in or out, and tighten lock handle (C) Fig. 49. IMPORTANT: When cutting bevels and the angle is small there is little difference whether the fence is tilted in or out; however, at angles approaching 45 degrees it may become difficult to hold the work securely against the fence when the fence is tilted out. In these cases we suggest that the fence be tilted toward the table, as shown in Fig. 49. The fence will form a V-shape with the tables and the work is easily pressed into the pocket while passing across the knives.

ADJUSTING FENCE POSITIVE STOPS

The fence on this jointer is equipped with positive stops that allow you to rapidly tilt the fence to the 90 and 45 degree angle to the table in the inward or outward position. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

1.Position the fence at 90 degrees to the table. Make certain the end of plunger (A) Fig. 50, is engaged in notch (B) in index collar as shown, and tighten lockhandle (C).

2.Place a square (D) Fig. 51, on the table and against the fence and check if fence is 90 degrees to table.

3.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen set screw (E) Fig. 50, in the index collar and loosen fence locking handle (C).

4.Using the 90 degree edge of the square, tilt the fence until you are certain the fence is 90 degrees to the table and tighten lockhandle (C) Fig. 50, and set screw (E).

5.Loosen lockhandle (C) Fig. 52, pull out and turn plunger (A) and tilt fence out as far as it will go. Then tighten lock handle (C).

6.Using square (D) Fig. 52, check to see if the fence is at a 45 degree outward angle from the table, as shown.

7.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lockhandle (C) Fig. 52. Loosen locknut (F) and turn adjusting screw

(G)until fence is tilted 45 degrees outward. Then tighten locknut (F).

8.Loosen lockhandle (C) Fig. 53, and tilt fence inward as far as possible, as shown, and tighten lockhandle

9.Using a square (D) Fig. 53, check to see if the fence is at a 45 degree inward angle to the table, as shown.

10.If an adjustment is necessary loosen locknut (J) Fig. 54, and turn adjusting screw (H) until fence is tilted 45 degrees in. Then tighten lock nut (J).

REPLACING AND RESETTING KNIVES

If the knives are removed from the cutterhead for replacement or sharpening, care must be used in removing, replacing and resetting them. Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Move the fence to the rear and remove the cutterhead guard (C) Fig. 40.

Be extremely careful that your hands do not come in contact with the knives.

3.Using 8x10 mm open end wrench (A) Fig. 57, slightly loosen the four locking screws (B) in each knife slot by turning the screws (B) clockwise. This relieves stress in the cutterhead.

4.Loosen screws (B) Fig. 57, further and remove knife and knife locking bar.

5.Fig. 58, illustrates the knife (C) and knife locking bar (D) removed from the cutterhead. Remove the remaining two knives and locking bars, in the same manner.

6.Using the 2.5mm allen wrench (E) Fig. 58, lower the two knife adjustment blocks by turning screws (F) counterclockwise in all three slots of the cutterhead.

7.Before replacing knives make certain the knife locking bars are thoroughly clean and free of gum and pitch.

8.Place the knife locking bars (D) Fig. 58, and knives (C) into each slot in the cutterhead.

CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN INSERTING THE KNIVES AS THE CUTTING EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. Push the knife down us-

ing a scrap piece of wood as far as possible and turn each screw (B) Fig. 57, counterclockwise just enough to hold the knife in position. Replace the remaining two knives in the same manner. NOTE: Knives must be installed correctly as shown in Fig. 59.

MACHINE USE

The following directions will give the beginner a start on jointer operations. Use scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and to get the feel of the operations before attempting regular work.

NOTE: The knives on the jointer will not wear evenly by feeding the through the same spot on the table every time. Feed the wood through the jointer at different spots on the table when possible, to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives.

Always use cutterhead guard and keep hands away from cutterhead. Always use push blocks whenever possible. Never make jointing and planning cuts deeper than 1/8" in one pass.

PLACEMENT OF HANDS DURING FEEDING

At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the work firmly against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand pushes the work toward the knives. After the cut is underway, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table as shown in Fig. 64. The left hand should then be moved to the work on the outfeed table, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence. The right hand presses the work forward, and before the right hand reaches the cutterhead, it should be moved to the work on the outfeed table.

Never pass hands directly over the cutterhead.

21 - English

DEFINITIONS OF JOINTING AND PLANING OPERATIONS

	Fig. 62				Fig. 63

1.JOINTING OPERATIONS – Jointing cuts or edge jointing are made to square an edge of a workpiece. The workpiece is positioned on the jointer with the narrow edge of the workpiece on the infeed table and the major flat surface of the workpiece against the fence, as shown in Fig. 62. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the cutterhead to the outfeed table.

JOINTING AN EDGE

This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set the guide fence square with the table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Hold the best face of the piece firmly against the fence throughout the feed as shown in Fig. 65. Maximum depth of cut should not be more than 1/8" (3.175 mm) in one pass.

Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than 10" (254 mm), narrower than

3/4" (19 mm), or less that 1/2" (12.7 mm) thick. See Fig. 66.

2.PLANING OPERATIONS – Planing or surfacing are identical to the jointing operation except for the position of the workpiece. For planing, the major flat surface of the workpiece is placed on the infeed table of the jointer with the narrow edge of the workpiece against the fence, as shown in Fig. 63. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the cutterhead to the outfeed table. Use push blocks when performing planing operations whenever possible.

PLANING OR SURFACING

Fig. 67

Planing or surfacing is identical to the jointing operation except for the position of the workpiece. For planing, the major flat surface of the workpiece is placed on the infeed table of the jointer with the narrow edge of the workpiece against the fence, a shown in Fig. 67. The workpiece is moved from the infeed table, across the cutterhead to the outfeed table establishing a flat surface on the workpiece Always use push blocks when performing planing operations and never pass your hands directly over the cutterhead. Maximum depth of cut should not be more than 1/8" in one pass.

BEVELING	Fig. 68

To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required angle and run the work across the knives while keeping the work firmly against the fence and tables. Several passes may be necessary to arrive at the desired result. When the angle is small, there is little difference whether the fence is tilted to the right or left. However, at greater angles approaching 45 degrees, it is increasingly difficult to hold the work properly when the fence is tilted to the right. The advantage of the double-tilting fence is appreciated under such conditions.

When tilted to the left, the fence forms a V-shape with the tables, and the work is easily pressed into the pocket while passing it across the knives as shown in Fig. 68. If the bevel is laid out on the piece in such direction that this involves cutting against the grain, it will be better to tilt the fence to the right.

TAPER CUTS

One of the most useful jointer operations is cutting an edge to a taper. This method can be used on a wide variety of work. Tapered legs of furniture are a common example.

Instead of laying the piece on the infeed table, lower the forward end of the work onto the outfeed table. Do this very carefully, as the piece will span the knives, and they will take a "bite" from the work with a tendency to kick back unless the piece is firmly held. Now push the work forward as in ordinary jointing. The effect is to plane off all the stock in front of the knives, to increasing depth, leaving a tapered surface.

The ridge left by the knives when starting the taper may be removed by taking a very light cut according to the regular method for jointing, with the infeed table raised to its usual position.

Practice is required in this operation, and the beginner is advised to make trial cuts on waste material. Taper cuts over part of the length and a number of other special operations can easily be done by the experienced craftsman.

CUTTING A RABBET
		Fig. 69
When making a rabbet cut, as shown in Fig. 69,
the cutterhead guard must be removed. AFTER THE
RABBET CUT IS COMPLETED, BE CERTAIN GUARD
IS REPLACED.

1.Adjust the fence so that the distance between the end of the knives and the fence is equal to the width of the rabbet.

2.Lower the infeed table an amount equal to the depth of the rabbet. If the rabbet is quite deep, it may be necessary to cut it in two or more passes. In that event, the table is lowered an amount equal to about half the depth of the rabbet for the first pass, then lowered again to proper depth to complete the cut. Maximum depth of cut when rabbeting with this jointer is 1/2 inch.
