UNPACKING
THE EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE MUST HAVE A RATED CAPACITY AT, OR ABOVE THE WEIGHT OF THE JOINTER. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY!
MACHINE PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY
CLEAN UP
All unpainted surfaces are covered with a protective coating that prevents rust from forming during shipping and storage. Remove this protective coating 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 machine’s painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove paint.
Also clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Loosen the fence lock handle, and remove the fence from the head of the jointer.
Clean the sliding surfaces and re-install the fence on the head of the jointer.

SHOP PLACEMENT / SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
The unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface that is able to support the weight of the unit (903 LBS) as well as the weight of the operator. Most concrete slab type floors will be suitable but some residential floors may require reinforcement.
Consider the space needed for the unit and its intended use when deciding where to install your jointer/mortiser in your shop.
Extra space will be required for stock handling off the ends of both the infeed and outfeed tables.
EST
ABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machin­ery. A clearly de-fined “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.

SETTING THE FENCE STOPS The fence stops allow you to position the fence at specific pre-set angles in relation to the tables without having to
measure each time you return to that angle. Due to wear and vibration, fence stops can over time become mis­aligned and should be checked periodically and re-set if necessary.
To set the 45° inward fence stop:
1. Using a 45° combination or machinists square, set the fence to 45° inward.
2. Loosen the jam nut.
3. Adjust the 45° inward fence stop nut until it makes contact
with the back of the fence bracket.
4. Retighten the jam nut.
To set the 90° fence stop:
1. Using a 90° combination or machinists square, set the fence to 90°.
2. Flip the 90° stop into the position.
3. Loosen the jam nut on the 90° fence stop bolt.
4. Adjust the 90° fence stop bolt until it makes contact with the
90° stop.
5. Retighten the jam.

To set the 45° outward fence stop:
1. Using a combination or machinists square, set the fence to
45° outward.
2. Loosen the jam nut on the 45° outward fence stop bolt.
3. Adjust the 45° outward fence stop bolt until it makes contact
with the back of the fence.
4. Retighten the jam nut.
ADJUSTING THE GIBS
The table gibs allow for you to eliminate excessive movement or play in the tables and when properly adjusted, allow for easy up and down movement.
1. On either of the tables, loosen the two gib nuts on the front face of the jointer head.
2. Tighten both gib set screws an equal amount, and then check the table by turning the handwheel to move it both up and down. 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 other table and then verify and adjust (if necessary) the outfeed table height as per the steps listed in the section entitled “Adjusting and setting the Out-Feed Table Height”.

KNIFE SETTING OR REPLACEMENT Properly setting all four 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 gauge 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 cutterhead on this unit is supplied with both adjustment springs and jack screws 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.
1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. To give yourself unimpeded access to the cutterhead and knives, raise or remove the
blade guard and lower the tables as far as they go.
3. Rotate the cutterhead to access one of the knives.
4. Loosen (but don’t remove) all the gib bolts – 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.
5. a) To use the Jack Screws to set the knife height use an allen wrench to turn the screws to raise or lower the knife as needed until the ideal position - both sets of feet of the gauge sitting flush on the cutterhead and the knife barely touching the center reference pads on the gauge – has been achieved. Repeat for the other 3 knives.
b) 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. Hold the gauge down and tighten the bolts to secure the knife in place. Repeat for the other 3 knives.
6. Re-check the height setting on all the knives and re-set as if necessary.
7. Reset the tables and replace the blade guard.
Note: After changing or resetting the knives the outfeed (left) table height must be re-adjusted to the match new height of the knives. Follow the steps listed in the section entitled “Adjusting and setting the Out-Feed Table Height”. This is also a good opportunity to verify and if needed re-set the depth of cut indicator. Follow the steps listed in the section entitled “Setting the Depth of Cut Indicator”.

CHECKING KNIVES
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Accurate work results can only be achieved when all four knives are properly installed and set to the exact same height in the cutterhead. To verify if the knives are set properly, use the supplied knife setting gauge following the steps below for each of the four knives:
1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. To give yourself unimpeded access to the cutterhead and
knives, raise or remove the blade guard.
3. Using the table height adjustment wheels lower the tables enough to allow the knife setting gauge to fit fully on the cutterhead.
4. Set the gauge onto the cutterhead with the center refe­rence pads of the gauge sitting directly above a knife.
5. Observe how the gauge sits on the cutterhead and how/if the knife touches the center reference pads. The ideal position has both sets of feet of the gauge sitting flush on the cutterhead and the knife barely touching the center reference pads on the gauge.
6. Should any (or all) of the knives not be set properly proceed to the next section: “Knife Setting or Replacement”

To prolong the service life of your jointer/mortiser and to maintain optimum performance the following basic main­tenance procedures should be practiced and become part of your shop routine.
Keep the unit clean - After each use wipe or vacuum off all dust or woodchips on or around the machine.
Periodically apply (as directed) General International “Top Saver” #GC-010 or similar after market surface protec­tants to prevent rust and to protect all unpainted cast iron surfaces.
Inspect the belts regularly – To avoid potentially costly downtime, consider keeping a spare set of replacement belts on hand for use if needed. Belts that show visible signs of wear such as cracks, fraying at the edges should be replaced immediately.
Lubrication – 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 dis­assemble and clear away any obstructions from the ways.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
