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.
WORK PIECE KICKBACK
Kickback is when the work piece 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.
CUTTER HEAD ALIGNMENT
To reduce the risk of injury and to avoid kickback,
keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned
with the top dead center edge of the knife.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
PROPER CUTTING
Always move the work piece over the cutter head
from the infeed table towards the outfeed table
until the work piece has passed completely over
the cutter head. Never back the work piece towards the infeed table.
USING GOOD WORK PIECE STOCK
Jointing safety begins with the stock used with the
machine. Inspect the work piece 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.
Note: voltage requirements and amperage draw for M2 & M3 3-phase motors may not
be fully described in this manual. For complete electrical requirements refer to the motor I.D. name plate on the machine. If in doubt consult a licensed qualified electrician
before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
B
A
C
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well
as an electrical plug (similar to the one shown) are recommended and SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
Use locally approved wire A that includes a separate
grounding wire and a 3 prong grounding type plug B
with a matching receptacle C.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of the “M1” model of this machine is
wired for 220V single phase operation.
As with many stationary industrial type machines, because each installation situation is unique, this bandsaw is supplied without a power cord or plug.
The installation of an appropriate power cord and plug
must be performed by a qualified electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source using
a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must
also be properly connected to the grounding prong
on the plug. The outlet must be properly installed and
grounded and all electrical connections must be made
in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 220V equipment. If you find it necessary,
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. .

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 solventsoaked 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.a
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / SAFETY ZONE
THIS MODEL 80-325 12” JOINTER IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED
TO LIFT THIS MACHINE.
TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE
SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 979 LBS (445 KG).
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.
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.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF JOINTING
This jointer is designed to remove material from one face
of a board in order to make it (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.

SELECTING BOARDS SUITABLE FOR JOINTING
This jointer is not intended (and should not be used) to joint any material other than solid wood.
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.
1. Jointing safety begins with the stock used with the
machine. Inspect the work piece 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
.
2. Only boards with the grain running more or less
length-wise are suitable for jointing A.
DETERMINE THE CONCAVE FACE AND EDGE OF YOUR BOARD
Place your board on a flat surface to identify its concave face B and edge C. The boards must be jointed
with the concave face and edge against the jointer ta
ble.

ADJUST FENCE FRONT TO BACK POSITION
To limit your exposure to the knives in the cutter head,
never take more knive 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.

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
moving 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.

BASIC JOINTING OPERATIONS
FAILURE TO USE PUSH BLOCKS WHEN FACE JOINTING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS USE PUSH BLOCKS
TO HELP KEEP YOUR HANDS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE KNIVES WHEN FACE JOINTING.
FACE JOINTING
1. Inspect the stock before starting & remove any for-
eign objects or debris.
2. Set the depth of cut as required (1/32” is recom mended 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, feed ing the stock over the cutter head.
7. Inspect the board & repeat the steps if needed until the surface is flat.
16
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 re-
commended 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.
RABBETING
REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD FOR RABBETING ONLY. IMMEDIATELY REPLACE THE BLADE GUARD WHEN FINISHED. DO NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER JOINTING OPERATION WITH THE BLADE GUARD REMOVED. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Remove the blade 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.
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 the 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
Model 80-325 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 #80-012 (High Speed Steel)
or #80-013 (Carbide).
Model 80-325HC only:
There are 32 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 32
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.

INSPECTING/REPLACING CUTTER HEAD KNIVES (CONTINUED)
Observing jointed workpieces as they come off of the
machine and looking for signs of knife damage or
C D
wear is the best method to help you to determine when
knives are due to be changed.
1. A raised ridgeline in the workpiece that runs a
straight line from beginning to end of the board C.
This is generally an indication that one or more
knives has been nicked or damaged D by a for eign object such as a nail, staple or other hard ob ject 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.
E
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 / REPLACEMENT - 80-325 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 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.
KNIFE EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. USE CARE WHEN HANDLING INSERTS.
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.
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.
1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the po wer source.
2. To give yourself unimpeded access to the cutter
head and knives, remove the blade guard and
lower the tables as far as they go.
3. Remove the fence to have access to the upper pul ley 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.
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 refe rence 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.

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 tight en both the screw and nut simultaneously.
2. Place the nut on top of the screw but don’t start tightening
the screw yet.
Do not thread the nut onto the
screw before tightening the screw
into the threaded hole in the
cutter head.
PARALLEL (CO-PLANAR) ALIGNMENT OF THE INFEED AND OUTFEED TABLES
In order to obtain precision jointing results it is essential that the infeed and outfeed tables are aligned parallel
(co-planar) to each other at all times. If the end of one or both tables is tilted higher or sags lower A, or if either
table tilts inward or outward out of parallel with the other B, this will result in jointed workpieces that are not flat or
that cannot be face and then edge jointed to achieve a perfect 90° angle.
To facilitate precision table alignment this 80-325 jointer features a parallelogram style 4-point adjustment system
on each table. In order to achieve perfect alignment, the tables should be verified at the front (closest to the operator), back (closest to the fence) and across both diagonals (corner to corner) using a precision straight edge,
preferably one that is as long as the two tables.

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; re-
place 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 fric-
tion. 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 jointer 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 as-
sembly 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.
• 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.
ADJUSTING THE INFEED TABLE ZERO POINT AND DOWN STOPS
With use and vibration over time, it may eventually become necessary to re-adjust the zero point and down stops.
Proceed as follows if needed:
Note: For more clarity, the cutter head guard has been removed.
A
1. Place a straight edge on infeed table and the cut-
ter head. Set the table at the zero point using the
handwheel and the depth of cut scale A.
22
2. Hand turn the cutter head until one of the knives is
at its highest point, then refine table position with
the handwheel so that the knife almost touches the
straight edge.
ADJUSTING THE INFEED TABLE ZERO POINT AND DOWN STOPS (CONTINUED)
3. Once the infeed is set to zero, lock the table in posi-
tion by turning its lock lever clockwise.
5. Using a 5 mm Allen key, remove the 3 cap screws
at the bottom of the control box, and then put the
control box aside.
4. Using a 17 mm wrench, remove the 4 bolts in each
corner of the machine.
