Basic Operations

Hand pla cement

Dust Collection

Before initial operation, the machine must be connected to a dust collector.

Important: If a dust collection system is not used, t he qualit y o f your cut will s uffer s e ver e ly .

Initial Startup

After the assembly and adjustments are complete t he pla ner is ready to be t ested. Plug in and start the machine. Keep your finger on the Stop button in case of a problem. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Investigate and correct the source of any problems before further operatio n.

DO NOT attempt to inves-

tigate or adjust the pl aner while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged a nd all work ing parts have co me to a complete standstill.

Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment.

Never pass hands directly

over the cutt er head.

Referring to Figure 20: At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the

workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence w hile the right ha nd pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion towar d t he cutt er head. After t he cut is under way, the new surface r es t s firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is transferred to the outfeed side (Figure 18) and presses down on this part of the workpiece, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence. The right hand presses the workpiece forward and before the right hand reaches the cutterhead it should be moved to the work on the outfeed table.

Surfac ing

The purpose of surfacing on a jointer is to produce one flat surface (Figure 21). The ot her side can then be milled to precise, final dimensions on a t hickness planer res ulting i n a board that is smoot h and flat on bot h sides a nd each side parallel to t he other.

If the wood to be jointed is cupped or bowed, place the concave side down, and take light cuts until the surface is flat.

Changing Mode of Operation

When changing the operating mode (planer to jointer and back) t he machine must be turned off, unplugged, and come to a complete stand-still. To change the mode of operation, see sections Jointer Se tu p and Planer Setup on page 12.

Joi nter Operations

Correct operat i ng position

The operator must be positioned offset to the infeed table (Fig ure 20).

Figure 20

Never s urface pieces shorter t han 12 inches or thinner tha n 3/8 inch wit hout the use of a special work holding fi xture.

Never s urface pieces thinner t han 3 inches without the use of a push block.

Cuts of appr oximately 1/ 16" or less at a t ime are recom me nded, which pro vides f or bet t er control over the material being surfaced. More passes c an t hen be made to reac h t he desired depth.

Figure 21

Di re ction of Grain

Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain (Figure 22).

Figure 22

This may result in chipped and splintered edges. Feed with the gra in to obt ain a sm ooth s urface,

as shown in F ig ure 23.

Edge Jointi ng

Jointing (or edging) is t he process of cr eating a finished, flat edge surface that is suitable for

joinery or finishing (Figure 24). It is also a necessary step prior t o ripping stock t o width on a table saw.

Never edge a board that is less than 3 inches wide, l ess than 1/4 inch t hick, or 12 inches long, without usi ng a push block.

When edging wood wider than 3 inches lap the fingers over the top of the wood, extending them back over the fence such that they will act as a s top for the hands in the event of a kickback.

When workpiece is twice the

length of the jointer inf eed or out f eed t able use an infeed or outf eed suppor t .

To edge:

1. Make sure the fence is set to 90°. Double check it with a square.

2. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direction (refer to Direction of Grain on

previous page).

Figure 23

Figure 24

3. If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave edge down on the infeed table.

4. Set the infeed table for a cut of approximately 1/16 inch.

5. Hold the st ock firmly against t he fence a nd table, f eed the stock slowly a nd evenly over the cutterhead.

Beveling

Beveling an edge is the same operatio n as edge jointing, except that the fence is tilted to a specified angle.

Make cert ain material be ing beveled is over 12 inches lo ng, mor e t han 1/4 inch thick and 1 inc h wide.

To bevel:

1. Use a bevel ga uge to determine t he desired angle. Then set the fence to the same angle.

2. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direction (refer to Direction of Grain on

previous page).

3. Set the infeed table for a cut of approximately 1/ 16.

4. If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave edge down on the infeed table.

5. Feed the stock through the cutterhead, making sure the face of the stock is completely flat against the fence and the edge is making solid contact on the infeed and outfeed tables (Fig ure 25).

For wood wider than 3 inches – hold with fingers close together near the top of the stock, lapping over the board and exte nding over the fence.

For wood less than 3 inches wide – use beveled push blocks and apply pressure toward the fence. Keep fingers near top of push block.

Several passes may be req uired to achieve f ull bevel.

lowering the planer table (D, Fig.14) using the adjustable handle (C, Fig. 14).

The quality of thickness p laning depe nds on the operator's judgment about the depth of cut.

The depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, dampness, grain direction and grain structure of t he wood.

The maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 5/64" for planing operations on workpieces up to 5-1/2” wide. The workpiece must be positioned away from the center tab on the rollercase to cut 1/8”.

The maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 1/16” for planing operations o n work pieces fr om 5-1/2” up to 8" wide.

For optimum planing performance, the dept h of cut should be less than 1/16”.

The board should be planed with shallow cuts until t he work has a level si de. Once a level surface has been created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.

Plane alternate s ides unti l the desired t hickness is obtained. W he n half of the total cut has been taken from each side, the board will have a uniform, moisture content and additional drying will not c ause it to warp.

The depth of c ut should be sha llower w he n the workpiece is wider.

When planing hardwood, take light cuts or plane the wood in thin widths.

Make a test cut wit h a test piece and verify the thickness produced.

Figure 25

Planer Operatio ns

Dept h of Cut

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness that the pla ner will pr oduce is indicate d by the scale (see Table Height Adjustment on page 13). Preset the planer to the desired thickness of the finished workpiece using the gauge. The depth-of- cut is adjusted by raising or

Check the accuracy of the test cut before working on the finished product.

Precautions

A thickness planer is a precision woodworking machine and should be used on quality lumber only.

Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear out the blade.

Remove nails a nd stapl es. Use the planer t o cut wood only.

Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes knots hard. Knots can come lose a nd jam the blade. Any article that encounters planer blades may be forcibly ejected from the planer creati ng a risk of injury.

Preparing t he W ork

A thickness planer works best when the lumber has at least one flat s urf ace. Use a jointer to cr eat e a flat surface.

Twisted or severely w arped boards ca n ja m the planer. Rip the lumber i n half t o reduce the magnitude of t he warp.

The work should be fed i nto the planer in t he same direction as the grain of the wood. Sometimes t he wood w ill change direct ions in the midd le of t he board. I n such cases, if possible, cut t he board in the midd le so the grain direct io n is correct.

4. Slide t he workpiece into the infeed side of the planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the workpiece.

5. Let go of the workpiece and allow the automatic feed t o advance the workpiece.

6. Do not push or p ull on the workpiece. Move to the rear and rece ive the planed lumber by grasping it in the same manner that it was fed.

To avoid the risk of injury due to kickbacks, do not stand directly in line with the front or r ear of the planer.

Do not p lane a board that is less than 6" long. It is recommended that when planing short boards you butt them end to end to avoid kickback and reduce snipe.

Feeding the W ork

The planer is supplied with planer blades mounted in the c utterhead. Feed direc tion is left ot right (see Figure 12). The planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly depending on the type of wood.

Preparation:

Feed rate refers to the rate at which the lumber travels thro ugh the planer.

The operator is respo nsible for aligning t he wo r k s o it will feed properly.

Raise or lower the table to get the depth of cut desired.

The s urfac e t hat t he pla ner pro duce s w ill be smoother if a shallower depth of cut is used.

Stand on the front side of the machine.

7. Do not grasp any portion of the board that has not gone past the infeed r ol ler.

8. Repeat this operation on all of the boards that need to be the same thickness.

Avoiding Sni pe

Snipe refers t o a depression at either end of the board caused by an uneven force on the cutterhead w hen t he work is e ntering or leavi ng the planer.

Snipe will occur when the boards are not supported prop erly or w hen o nly o ne feed roller is in contact with the work at the beginning or end of the cut.

Precautions for avoiding snipe:

Push the board up while feeding the work until the outfeed roller st ar t s advancing it.

Move to the rear and receive the planed board by pushi ng it up when the i nfeed roller looses contact with the board.

When planing more t han o ne board of the same thickness, butt t he boards toget her to avoid snipe.

Boards longer than 24” should have additional support from free standing material stands. These can be purchased from JET – Stock # 709207. See Optional Accessories on page 7.

Planing

1. Position the workpiece with the face to be planed on top.

Note: Feed direction is left to right (see Figure 12).

2. Turn the planer on.

3. Rest the boar d end on t he i nfeed side of t he table and direct the board into the planer.

Make shallow c uts. Snipe is more app arent when deeper cuts are taken.

Feed t he work i n the directio n of the grain. Work fed against the grain will have chipped, splintered edges.

Maintenance

the stone's surface is flush with the knife bevel.

Blad e Care

Blades are extr emely sharp!

Use caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to comply may cause ser io u s injur y !

The condition of the blades will affect the precision of the cut. Observe the quality of the cut that the machine prod uces to check the condition of the blades.

Dull blades will tear, rather than cut the wood fibers and produce a fuzzy appearance.

Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying de nsity. A raised edge will also be pr oduced where the blades have been nicked.

When gum and pitch collect on the blades, carefully remove with a strong solvent. Failure to remove gum and pitch build up may result in excessive frict ion, blade wear and overheating.

When blades become dull, they should be replaced, or touched up – see Sharpening the Knives.

Sharpenin g the Knives

Blades are extr emely sharp! Use caution when ha ndling.

Failure to comply may cause ser ious injury!

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Remove the blade guard and belt cover.

3. To protect the infeed table from scratches,

partially cover the sharpening stone with paper (Figure 26).

4. Lay the stone on the infeed t able.

5. Lower the infeed table and turn the

cutterhead by t urning t he cutter head pulley. The infeed table height is set proper ly when

6. Keep the cutterhead from rotating by grasping t he cutt erhead p ulley w hile s lid ing the stone back and forth across t he table.

7. Take t he same amount of passes f or all two blades.

When the blades have been sharpe ned and still are not cutting efficiently, trying to touch up the blades f urther will o nly ca use the formatio n of a second beveled edge. When this starts to happen, it is time to replace blades w ith another set. It is recommended t o keep a second set of blades on hand so that they may be installed while the first set is being professionally sharpened.
