Electrical

Grounding Instructions

This jointer must be grounded while in use to

protect the operat or from electric shock.

The temporary adapter should onl y be used unti l a properly grounded outlet can be instal led by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connect ed to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding prov ides a path of least resistance f or electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool 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 ordinanc es.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fi t the outlet , have the proper outlet i nstalled by a qualified el ectrician. Improper connecti on of t he equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulati on having an outer surface t hat is green with or without y ellow stripes, is the equipment grounding conductor . If r epair or r eplac ement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equi pment-groundi ng c onduc tor 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 tool i s properl y gr ounded. U se onl y three wire ex t ensi on c or ds t hat have three- pr ong grounding plugs and t hree-pole recept acles that accept the tool’s pl ug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

230 Volt Operation

Referring to Figur e 10: If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the

following instr uc tions must be followed:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. The Jointer motor has four numbered leads that are factory connected for 115V operation, as shown in (A). For 230V operation reconnect the leads as shown in (B).

3. The 115V attachm ent plug (C) supplied with the Woodworking Jointer must be replaced with a UL/CSA li sted plug suitable for 230V operation (D) . Contact your local Author ized JET Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The Woodworking Joi nter must comply with all local and nati onal c odes after the 230-volt plug is installed.

4. The Woodworking Jointer with a 230-volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as shown in (D). No adapter is available nor should be used with the 230-volt plug.

115 Volt Operation

Referring to Figur e 9: As receiv ed f rom t he f actory , your W oodworking

Jointer is ready to run at 115-volt operation. This Woodworking J ointer, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outl et and a plug that look like the ones illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not av ailable.

Figure 10

Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. W hen using an ex tension cord, be sure to use one heav y enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheati ng. T able 1 sho ws the cor rect si ze to use depending on t he cord length and namepl ate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the sm aller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

5. Tighten locki ng handle (C, Fig 12). Important: When the tilted operation is finished and

the fence is returned t o 90°, do not forget to flip the 90° stop block (D, Fig. 12) back to its original position.

Fence Stop Adjustments

Periodically check the 90° and 45° backward (135°) tilt accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adju st able square or machinist’s protractor.

90º Fence Adjustment

Referring to Figur e 13: The 90º stop is control led by the st op bolt (E) and

the stop plat e (C).

1. Set the infeed t able to approx im ately t he sam e height as the outf eed table.

2. Move the fence by releasing lock handle (D) and pushing the fence assembly until it overlaps the tables (B).

3. Tighten lock handle (D).

4. Adjust the fence to a 90º angle by releasing lock handle (J), pulli ng up on the fence handle (A), and tightening the lock handle (J).

Note: The stop bolt (E) should be resting against the stop plate (C).

5. Place an angl e measuring dev ice on the t able and against the f ence to confirm a 90º setti ng (A, Fig. 14).

6. If the fence is not square to t he table, release the lock handle (J), loosen the hex nut (F), and turn the stop bolt (E) unt il the fence is square to the table.

7. Tighten the lock nut (F) to retain the setting. Tighten the lock handle (J).

45º Fence Backward Stop Adju stment

Referring to Figur e 15: The 45º fence backward stop (fence positioned

away from the operator) is controlled by the stop bolt (E).

1. Loosen the lock handle (A). Move the stop plate (D) out of t he way and position t he fence at the 135º angle. Make sure the fence sits against the stop bolt. ( E ).

2. Tighten the lock handle (A)

3. Place an angl e measuring dev ice on the t able and against the f ence t o confirm a 135º sett ing (A. Fig. 16).
