may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-

ommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord

cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Loose knives or

Additional Safety for Jointers

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected

from machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback injuries occur from getting struck by workpiece or hands being pulled into cutterhead. To reduce the risk of kickback, only use proper workpieces, safe feeding techniques, and proper machine setup or maintenance.

GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without guards unnecessarily exposes operator to knives/ inserts and other hazardous moving parts. Except when rabbeting, never operate jointer or allow it to be connected to power if any guards are removed. Turn jointer OFF and disconnect power before clearing any shavings or sawdust from around cutterhead. After rabbeting or maintenance is complete, immediately replace all guards and ensure they are properly installed/adjusted before resuming regular operations.

DULL OR DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase risk of kickback and cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts.

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed table too high can cause workpiece to hit table or get stuck while feeding. Setting outfeed table too low may cause workpiece to rock or shift while feeding. Both of these results will increase risk of kickback. Always keep outfeed table even with knives/inserts at highest point during rotation.

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or kickback may result from using improper workpieces. Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign material. Always joint warped workpieces with cupped side facing down.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of kickback, never cut deeper than

⁄8" per pass.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or end grain can increase risk of kickback. It also requires more cutting force, which produces chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint or surface plane WITH the grain.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting workpieces that do not meet minimum dimension requirements can result in kickback or accidental contact with cutterhead. Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces smaller than specified in machine data sheet.

PUSH BLOCKS. Push blocks reduce risk of accidental cutterhead contact with hands. Always use push blocks when planing materials less than 3" high or wide. Never pass your hands directly over cutterhead without a push block.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Poor workpiece support or loss of workpiece control while feeding will increase risk of kickback or accidental contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece with fence continuously during operation. Support long stock with auxiliary tables if necessary.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY.

accidental cutterhead contact may result if workpiece is fed into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow

Never start jointer with workpiece touching cutterhead. Always feed workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side without stopping until cut is complete. Never move workpiece backwards while feeding.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. improperly set inserts can be thrown from cutterhead with dangerous force. Always verify knives/ inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation. Straight knives should never project more than

⁄8" (0.125 ") from cutterhead body.

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the provided plug!

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Many cleaning solvents

Cleanup

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avo i d using these products to clean machinery.

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

Weight Load

Refer to the of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,

Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space around machine to disconnect power supply or

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate Model G0490ZX without an adequate dust collection system. This jointer creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature of this jointer. You MUST verify its operation before using the jointer! Failure to properly install this guard will greatly increase risk of serious personal injury.

30. Verify proper operation of cutterhead guard

by setting fence to 90°, moving fence to rear of table, then pulling cutterhead guard back and letting it go. It should spring back over cutterhead and contact fence without dragging across outfeed table.

If cutterhead guard DOES NOT spring

—

back over cutterhead and contact fence, or if it drags across outfeed table, then it must be adjusted (see Checking/Adjusting Cutterhead Guard on Page 39 for com- plete instructions).

To connect a dust collection hose:

Fit 4" dust hose over dust port on left side

of cabinet and secure in place with a hose clamp (see Figure 26).

Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-

formance.

Setting Depth of Cut

The depth of cut on a jointer is the amount of material removed from the bottom of the workpiece as it passes over the cutterhead.

The depth of cut is set by adjusting the height of the infeed table relative to the carbide inserts at TDC (top dead center).

Depth-of-Cut Scale

The depth of cut can be referenced directly from the depth scale located on the front of the jointer (see Figures 31–32).

Note: The depth scale can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct. Refer to Calibrating Depth Scale on Page 49 for more information.

Checking/Adjusting

Cutterhead Guard

The cutterhead guard is designed to reduce the risk of accidental contact with hands or fingers with the spinning cutterhead. When properly installed and functioning correctly, the guard automatically rotates clear of the cutterhead during the cutting operation and then springs back over the cutterhead as soon as the operation is complete.

To check/adjust cutterhead guard:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen fence lock, move fence all the way

back, then tighten fence lock.

Pull cutterhead guard back and let it go. It

should spring back over cutterhead and rest against fence (see Figure 46).

— If cutterhead guard does spring back

over cutterhead and rest against fence, cutterhead guard is properly tensioned. Proceed to Step 7.

— If cutterhead guard does not spring back

over cutterhead and rest against fence, proceed to Step 4.

In order to function as intended, the guard must be installed as low as possible over the infeed table without actually touching it (approximately

⁄16 " above infeed table), and it must have enough

spring tension at the mounting shaft to quickly reposition itself against the fence after it is rotated away from the cutterhead and released. Before performing rabbeting operations, adjust guard height to just clear outfeed table.

6. Pull cutterhead guard back and let it go. It

should spring back over cutterhead and rest against fence.

— If cutterhead guard does spring back

over cutterhead and rest against fence, cutterhead guard is properly tensioned. Proceed to Step 7.

— If cutterhead guard does not spring back

over cutterhead and rest against fence, repeat Steps 4–5 until properly adjusted, then proceed to Step 7.

Verify cutterhead guard height is as low as

possible (approximately 1⁄8" above infeed table) without dragging on infeed table/rabbeting extension.

— If cutterhead guard is as low as possible

without dragging on infeed table/rabbeting extension, cutterhead guard height is correct. No further adjustment is required.

— If cutterhead guard is not as low as possible

or drags on infeed table/rabbeting extension, loosen set screw securing cutterhead guard shaft, position cutterhead guard until

it is approximately

⁄8" above infeed table,

then tighten set screw (see Figure 49).

Tensioning/

Replacing V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the cutterhead, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly aligned and tensioned.

After approximately 16 hours of operation, belt will stretch and seat into pulley grooves. The belt needs to be re-tensioned after this initial break-in period to ensure optimum power transfer and maximum overall life of the belt.

Adjusting Table Parallelism

For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be parallel with the cutterhead. Adjusting them to be parallel is a task of precision and patience, and may take up to one hour to complete. Luckily, this is considered a permanent adjustment and should not need to be repeated for the life of the machine.

Due to the complex nature of this task, we recommend that you double check the current table positions to make sure that they really need to be adjusted before starting.

IMPORTANT: The steps below are intended to be performed directly after the steps involved in checking the outfeed table parallelism. Do not continue until you have performed those steps.

To adjust table parallelism:

Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs

over cutterhead, and lower outfeed table until straightedge just touches cutterhead body (see Figure 61).

The tables have four eccentric bushings under each corner that allow the tables to be adjusted parallel. These eccentric bushings are locked in place by set screws and adjust when rotated.

The correct order for adjusting the table parallelism is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the cutterhead to within 0.010"-0.012", then adjust the infeed table parallel with the outfeed table.

When setting the outfeed table, all measurements must be made from the cutterhead body—NOT the inserts.

Repeat this step with each remaining straightedge position as many times as necessary until outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead to within 0.010"–

0.012".

Note: Setting outfeed table parallel to

cutterhead within 0.010"-0.012" will produce high quality results. Going lower than this number will produce minimal gain.

Setting Outfeed

Table Height

To help ensure safe operation and the best cutting results, set the outfeed table height level with the inserts when they are at top-dead-center (TDC). If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be tapered from front to back or there will be snipe (a gouge in the end of the board that is uneven with the rest of the cut). If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

Adjusting Infeed

Calibrating Depth

Table Stop Bolts

The infeed table on the Model G0490ZX has positive stop bolts that, when properly set up, allow the operator to quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/final cuts and shaping/heavy cuts.

\We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut

⁄32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1⁄8" for

to most operations.

DO NOT exceed 1⁄8" cut per pass on this machine or the risk of kickback and serious injury will be greatly increased!

Each positive stop bolt controls top or bottom range of table movement (see Figure 69). Jam nuts lock positive stop bolts in position so they will not move during operation.

Scale

The depth scale can be calibrated or "zeroed" to make sure the cutting depth shown on the scale matches the actual cutting depth (per pass).

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
