RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.

1. Do not operate this jointer when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.

2. The work area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.

3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the jointer is in operation; do not permit them to operate the jointer.

4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.

5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.

6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be haz ardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector. Wear face, eye, ear, respiratory and body protection devices.

7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck laces or other jewelry while the jointer is in operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.

8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.

9. Keep hands well away from knives and all moving parts. Use a push stick to feed stock, and a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.

10. Be sure that the knives are securely installed in the cut terhead.

13. Do not push or force stock into the cutter head. The jointer will perform better and more safely when work ing at the rate for which it was designed.

14. Be sure that the cutter head has gained full operating speed before starting to joint.

15. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach and keep both feet on floor.

16. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning be sure it is properly re-attached before using the tool again.

17. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.

18. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the cutting tool is uninten tionally contacted.

19. Always disconnect the tool from the power source before servicing or changing accessories such as knives, or before performing any maintenance or cleaning, or if the machine will be left unattended.

20. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord.

21. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.

22. Do not use this jointer for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.

11. Always use clean, properly sharpened knives. Dirty or dull knives are unsafe and can lead to accidents.

12. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stopping the jointer.

Additional Safety

Instructions for Jointers

Because each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can ever be complete.

The most important safety feature of any shop is the knowledge and good judgement of the user. Use common

sense and always keep safety considerations, as they apply to your individual shop conditions, first and foremost

in mind. If you have any doubts about the safety of an operation you are about to perform: STOP! Do not perform

the operation until you have validated from qualified individuals if the operation is safe to perform and what is

the safest method to perform it.

1. WORKPIECE KICKBACK

Kickback is when the workpiece is ejected at high speeds from the jointer table by the force of the cutter head. To minimize the risk of injury from kickback, always use push blocks and wear safety glasses. Do not operate this machine if you do not understand kickback, its causes and how to avoid it.

2. CUTTER HEAD ALIGNMENT

To reduce the risk of injury and to avoid kick back, keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned with the top dead center edge of the knife.

3. PUSH BLOCKS

Always use push blocks when jointing. Never pass your bare hands directly over the cutter head without a push block to hold and guide the workpiece.

4. WORKPIECE SUPPORT

To make safe cuts and reduce the risk of injury, support the workpiece adequately at all times. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.

5. KICKBACK ZONE

The kickback zone on a jointer is the area directly in the path through and off of the end of the infeed table. Never stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.

6. MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT

The maximum depth of cut for one pass is 1/8”. Never attempt to remove more material than 1/8” in any single pass.

7. JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN

Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.

8. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE

Except when rabbeting, all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.

9. PROPER CUTTING

Always move the workpiece over the cutter head from the infeed table towards the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed complete ly over the cutter head. Never back the workpiece towards the infeed table.

10. USING GOOD WORKPIECE STOCK

Jointing safety begins with the stock used with the machine. Inspect the workpiece carefully before jointing it. Never joint a board that has loose knots, staples, nails or other embedded foreign objects. If you have the slightest doubt about the structural integrity or stability of a board: Do Not Joint It.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.

THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding plug receptacle ing pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.

Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a qualified eletrician before proceeding.

. Do not remove the 3rd prong (ground-

CIRCUIT CAPACITY

Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service department.

to fit a grounded type

, it must be

CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 220V

Should you need to convert your machine’s motor from 110V to 220V power, there is an electrical schematic drawing on the inside of the motor cover plate. Unless you are a qualified electrician, we do not recommend attempting this conversion on your own. If you choose to do so, you may risk serious personal injury, damage to the motor and voiding the warranty of your machine.

We suggest you ask your local General International distributor to recommend qualified electricians in your area (or perhaps one of their own technicians) who can make this conversion properly and safely.

EXTENSION CORDS

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately.

Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

THIS JOINTER IS HEAVY – 235 LBS (107 KG) FOR MODEL 80-075L AND 249 LBS (113 KG) FOR MODELS 80-100L/LHC. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. THE HELP OF AN ASSISTANT WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEP.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP

This machine should be installed and operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight of the jointer and the operator.

Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone but the individual operating the unit.

CLEAN UP

The protective coating on the jointer tables prevents rust from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)

A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove paint.

To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF JOINTING

This jointer is designed to remove material from the bottom face of a board in order to bring one face of the board (or a series of boards) perfectly flat A.

This perfectly flat face is then placed against the fence, set at 90º to the tables, to obtain a perfectly perpendicular 90º flat edge B.

This jointer is not intended (and should not be used) to joint any material other than solid wood.

SELECTING BOARDS SUITABLE FOR JOINTING

DIRECTION DU GRAIN

1. Jointing safety begins with the stock used with the

machine. Inspect the workpiece carefully before

GRAIN DIRECTION

jointing it. Never joint a board that has loose knots, staples, nails or other embedded foreign objects. If you have the slightest doubt about the structural

GRAIN DIRECTION

integrity or stability of a board: Do Not Joint It.

2. Only boards with the grain running more or less length wise are suitable for jointing C.

ALWAYS JOINT IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN. JOINTING AGAINST THE GRAIN OR JOINTING END GRAIN IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE THE WORKPIECE TO SHATTER.

DETERMINE THE CONCAVE FACE AND EDGE OF YOUR BOARD

Place your board on a flat surface to identify its concave face D and edge E. The boards must be jointed with its concave face and edge against the jointer table.

ADJUST FENCE FRONT TO BACK POSITION

To limit your exposure to the knives in the cutter head, never take more knife length than is required to complete the cut. Set the position of the fence so that the length of blade remaining exposed is roughly 1/4” longer than the width of the board to be jointed.

FACE JOINTING

EDGE JOINTING

CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING

VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

• Make sure you and any assistants are wearing safe appropriate workshop attire. Roll up long sleeves, secure long hair and remove any jewelry: watches, rings, bracelets or anything that could become caught in the mov ing parts, potentially causing serious injury.

• Make sure the board has been inspected and is suitable for jointing as explained in the previous section “Selecting boards suitable for jointing”.

• Verify that the cutter head guard is functioning properly (snaps back against the fence and covers the knives).

• Make sure that the fence is properly set and locked in place.

• Make sure to have on safety glasses as well as hearing and respiratory protection at all times when using the jointer.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH A DAMAGED POWER CORD OR PLUG. REPLACE DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY.

TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL START-UP, MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE.

SWITCH OFF

Once the assembly and adjustment steps have been completed, uncoil the power cord and plug it into an appropriate outlet. Refer back to the section entitled “ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS” and make sure all requirements and grounding instructions are followed. When jointing operations have been completed unplug the jointer from the power source.

When you have finished using the machine be sure to re-install the lock-out pin and unplug the jointer from the power source.

BASIC JOINTING OPERATIONS

SURFACE PLANING

1. Inspect the stock before starting & remove any foreign objects or debris.

2. Set the depth of cut as required (1/32” is recommend ed for face planing - Less for hard wood or wider stock.)

3. Set & lock the fence at 90°.

4. If your workpiece is cupped, place the cupped side

face down on the infeed (right) table.

5. Set the position of the fence so that the length of blade remaining exposed is roughly 1/4” longer than the width of the board to be jointed.

6. Turn on the machine & using push blocks press the stock against the table and tight to the fence, feeding the stock over the cutter head.

7. Inspect the board & repeat the steps if needed until the surface is flat.

EDGE JOINTING

1. Inspect the stock before starting & remove any foreign objects or debris.

2. Set the depth of cut as required (1/16” - 1/8” is recom mended for edge jointing - Less for hard wood or wider stock.)

3. Set & lock the fence at 90°

4. If your workpiece is cupped, place the cupped side

face down on the infeed (right) table.

5. Set the position of the fence so that the length of blade remaining exposed is roughly 1/4” longer than the width of the board to be jointed.

6. Turn on the machine, press the stock against the table and tight to the fence, feeding the stock over the cutter head.

7. Inspect the board & repeat the steps if needed until the surface is flat.

FAILURE TO USE PUSH BLOCKS WHEN SURFACE PLANING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS TO HELP KEEP YOUR HANDS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE KNIVES WHEN SURFACE PLANING.

RABBETING

1. Remove the cutter guard & move the fence forward leaving only the width of the desired rabbet on the tables uncovered by the fence & lock the fence in position.

REMOVE THE CUTTER GUARD FOR RABBETING ONLY. IMMEDIATELY REPLACE THE CUTTER GUARD WHEN FINISHED. DO NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER JOINTING OPERATION WITH THE CUTTER GUARD REMOVED. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

2. Inspect the stock before starting & remove any foreign objects or debris.

3. Set the depth of cut as required (1/16” - 1/8” is recommended for rabbeting - Less for hard wood or wider

stock.)

4. Turn on the machine & using push blocks press the stock against the tables rabbeting arm and tight to the fence, feeding the stock over the cutter head.

5. Repeat the steps until the rabbet is cut to desired depth.

MAINTENANCE

MAKE SURE THE JOINTER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

INSPECTING/REPLACING CUTTER HEAD KNIVES

Models 80-075L & 80-100L only:

There are 3 knives installed in the cutter head at the factory. With usage and normal wear over time, it will eventually become necessary to replace the knives. To maintain even knife wear always replace all 3 knives at the same time.

When needed, replacement knives (sold in sets of 3) A can be ordered through your local General International distributor under part #80-105 (High Speed Steel) or #80110 (Carbide).

Model 80-100LHC or 80-075LHC only:

There are 16 reversible carbide inserts (knives) installed in the helical cutter head at the factory. With usage and normal wear over time, it will eventually become necessary to reverse and/or replace the inserts. To maintain even insert wear always reverse or replace all 16 inserts each time knife replacement is required.

When needed, replacement inserts B can be ordered through your local General International distributor under part #30-443.

ALL Models:

Observing jointed workpieces as they come off of the machine and looking for signs of knife damage or wear is the best method to help you to determine when knives are due to be changed.

Signs to look for include:

EFFECT EXAGGERATED FOR CLARITY

1. A raised ridgeline in the workpiece that runs a straight line from beginning to end of the board C. This is ge-

nerally an indication that one or more knives has been nicked or damaged D by a foreign object such as a nail, staple or other hard object hidden or embedded in the workpiece.

2. A slight washboard or chatter effect E which can be an indication of uneven knife wear causing one knife to

cut slightly deeper than the others.

3. Rough, irregular, torn or fuzzy grain on a freshly jointed surface may be a sign of worn or dull blades

causing the wood to tear out. Sharp blades cut crisply and leave a relatively smooth finish.

Note: Fuzzy grain can also be a sign of high moisture content in the workpiece. If knives have recently been changed or if you suspect that moisture content and not dull knives is the cause, set the workpiece aside and test by jointing other boards with known or acceptable moisture content. If the jointed results using a different workpiece are smooth, then moisture content in your wood is the problem - no adjustments can be made to the machine for this. Set the “wet” stock aside and simply work with drier wood.

KNIFE SETTING OR REPLACEMENT - MODELS 80-075L & 80-100L ONLY

Properly setting all three knives is essential to achieving accurate work results. Properly set knives will last longer and also keep their edge (sharpness) longer by equally sharing the cutting workload. You may use the supplied knife setting jig to help you set the knives to the correct height whenever re-setting or changing knives.

Note: If you prefer you may also find other “aftermarket” gauges, jigs or knife setting tools that are to your liking – ask your local tool distributor for information on any such tools that may be available in your market.

The cutter head on this unit is supplied with both adjustment springs and jack screws A providing you with two options for setting the knives. We suggest you try each method at least once or twice and decide for yourself which method works best and fastest for you.

KNIVES ARE VERY SHARP. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING KNIVES.

1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. To give yourself unimpeded access to the cutter head and knives, remove the cutter guard and lower the tables as far as they go.

Remove the fence to have access to the upper pulley

and turn it by hand to rotate the cutter head

to access

one of the knives.

4. Loosen (but don’t remove) all the gib bolts B – start in the center and alternate sides (If replacing an old or damaged knife, loosen the bolts until the knife can be removed and install a new sharpened knife). Then position the gauge over the selected knife D.

5. a) To use the adjustment springs to set the knife

height: Push the knife down with the gauge so that the edge of the knife is touching the center reference pads on the gauge E. Hold the gauge down and tighten the bolts B to secure the knife in place. Repeat for the 2 other knives.

b) To use the Jack Screws to set the knife height: Use an Allen key to turn the screws C to raise or lower the knife as needed until the ideal posi tion - both sets of feet of the gauge sitting flush on the cutter head and the knife barely touching the center reference pads on the gauge E – has been achieved. Repeat for the 2 other knives.

6. Re-check the height setting on all the knives and re-set if necessary.

7. Reset the tables and replace the fence and blade guard.

IMPORTANT! After changing or resetting the knives, the outfeed (left) table height must be re-adjusted to match the new height of the knives. Follow the instructions in section “Adjusting and Setting the Outfeed Table Height” on page 18.

HELICAL CUTTER HEAD INSERT REVERSAL / REPLACEMENT - MODEL 80-100LHC OR 80-075LHC ONLY

INSERT EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING INSERTS.

1. Using the one of the two supplied Allen keys, loo-

sen but do not remove the nut and screw A and re move the knife-holder/chip breaker B and insert C.

Important! To prevent knife height discrepencies, the knife holders / chip breakers and inserts must be clean and free of debris.

3. Thoroughly clean the knife-holders/chip breakers E

and inserts F using a lacquer thinner and small brush.

4. Reverse or replace the insert and re-install it along

with the knife-holder/chip breaker into the slot, then partially re-tighten the nut and screw G.

2. Thoroughly clean the housing D before reinstal-

ling a knife-holder/chip breaker and insert.

5. Center the knife-holder/chip breaker with the flat

edge of the nut H and fully tighten the nut and screw.

6. Repeat with all other inserts.

Important! The nut and screw that secures the knife-holder/chip breakers and inserts in the cutter head does not have to be removed for blade reversal/replacement, only loosened. If the nuts and screws have to be replaced or if they have been removed instead of loosened, follow the instructions below to make sure that the knife-holder/chip breakers are all secured at the same height into the cutter head.

1. Place the screw in the threaded hole but don’t start tightening it yet.

3. Holding the nut with your fingers, tighten the screw. This will tighten both the screw and nut simultaneously.

2. Place the nut on top of the screw but don’t start tight- ening the screw yet.

Do not thread the nut onto the screw before tightening the screw into the threaded hole in the cutter head.

ADJUSTING THE GIBS

The table gibs allow you to eliminate excessive play when raising/lowering the tables and, when properly adjusted, will allow for a smoother and easier table height adjustment.

1. Loosen the three gib nuts at the back of the infeed table D.

2. Tighten all three gib set screws an equal amount then test raising/lowering the table. Continue to adjust the set

screws as needed until you find the right balance between easy movement and minimal play.

3. Repeat these steps for the outfeed table gib nuts E, then verify and adjust (if necessary) the outfeed table height following the instructions in section “Adjusting and Setting the Outfeed Table Height” on page 18.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

To prolong the service life of your jointer and to maintain optimum performance the following basic maintenance procedures should be practiced and become part of your shop routine.

• Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the jointer with a damaged switch; replace a damaged switch immediately.

• Keep the machine as well as the infeed outfeed tables clean and free of saw dust, woodchips, pitch or glue. Vacuum or brush off any loose debris and wipe down the machine and the tables occasionally with a damp rag.

• An occasional light coating of paste wax can help protect the tables’ surface and reduce workpiece friction. Ask your local distributor for suggestions on aftermarket surface cleaners, protectant and dry lubricants based on what is readily available in your area.

• Avoid using silicon based products that may affect or react with wood finishing products such as oil, solvent or water-based stains, varnishes and lacquers.

• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric shock or fire, never operate the planer with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the first visible signs of damage.

• All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated and no further lubrication is required. The fence assembly and table ways also should not be lubricated. If you should encounter a “sticking” problem, simply disassem ble and clear away any obstructions from the ways.

• Regularly inspect jointed workpieces for signs of knife damage or wear and replace damaged or worn knives immediately.

• Inspect the belt regularly – To avoid potentially costly downtime, consider keeping a spare replacement belt on hand for use if needed. Belts that show visible signs of wear such as cracks or fraying at the edges should be replaced immediately.
