Read and understand the ent ire contents o f this manual before attempting set-up

or operation! Failure t o co mpl y may cause seri ous injury.

Installation and Assembly

Tools required for assembly

Forklift or hoist with straps/slings 14mm (or 9/16”) wrench or socket Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver 3mm and 5mm hex wrenches (provi ded)

1. Remove any boards or straps that secure

the Jointer to the pallet, and remove protective wrapping.

2. Use a 14mm (or 9/16”) wrench to remove

the four l ag screws at t he base of the stand which helped secure the machine to the pallet. One of these screws is shown in Figure 1.

The Joint er should be raised

by straps placed arou nd the four lifting rods (see Figure 2). Do NOT lift the machine directly beneath the infeed and outfeed tables, as this can cause misal ig nment of the tables.

Figure 1

3. Pull the four lifting rods out as far as they

will go and run the straps around the rods as shown in Figure 2. Using a forklift or hoist, lift t he machine off the pallet and into its desired location. When the straps are removed, push the lift ing rods back in.

4. The Jointer should be locat ed in a dry ar ea,

on a sturdy fl oor, and with suff icient light ing and ventilation. Leave plenty of space around the machine for operations and routine maintenance work.

5. If desired, the Jointer can be further

stabilized by securing it to the floor, using lag screws through the four holes at the base of the stand.

The jointer should be

disconnect ed from the power sou rce during assembly procedures.

6. Exposed m etal areas of the Joi nt er, such as

the table and fence surfaces, have been factory coated with a protectant. This can be removed with a soft cloth dampened with kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not use an abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact plastic or rubber parts as it may damage them.

Use caution when cleaning

around cut terhead. The knives are ext remely sharp.

Figure 2

(straps not included)

Installing Switch Arm

1. The switch arm was shipped in horizontal

position. Loosen and remove t he four socket head cap screws and flat washers on the bracket of the switch ar m (Figure 3) with a 5mm hex wrench. Hol d on t o the switch ar m while doing this, to prevent the arm from falling.

2. Place the switch arm in vertical positi on, as

shown in Fi gure 3, and align the f our holes in the bracket with the four holes in the jointer stand.

3. Re-insert the four socket head cap screws

with the four flat washers, as shown in Figure 3.

4. Firmly tighten the four socket head cap

screws with the hex wrench.

Installing Cutterhead Guard

Jointer knives are extremely

sharp. Use caution when working with or around the cutterh ead.

The cutterhead guard has a spring tension mechanism which must be properly tensioned when installing the cutterhead guard on the machine.

To install the cutterhead guard:

1. Insert a small hex wrench, or similar obj ect,

into the pin on t he guard tension mec hanism (Figure 4).

2. Twist the hex wrench and pi n clockwise, a s

shown in Figure 5, and hold them there.

3. Lower t he shaft of the guard int o the hole on

the jointer’s rabbeting ledge. See Figure 6. The guard should be lowered into the hole far enough that the groove in the guard’s shaft will mate with the shaft of the locking handle (Figure 6) .

4. After the guard has been inserted into the

hole, let go of the guard with your left hand the guard will swing toward the fence.

Figure 3

Figure 4

5. Completely tighten the locking handle

(Figure 6), whil e continuing to hold the hex wrench and pin with your right hand.

6. When the guard is secured, rem ove the hex

wrench from the pin. Slightly loosen the locking handl e (Figure 6) unti l the pin snaps back against the r abbeting ledge.

7. Re-t ighten the locki ng handle ( Figure 6).

Figure 5

The cutterhead guard should now have sufficient spring tension. Test i t by swingi ng the guard away from the fenc e and then releasing it.

The guard mu st always have

enough spring tension to cover the unused part of the cutterhead during the cutting operation, and to swing back to contact the fence when the workpiece has cleared the area.

If more spring tension on the guard is desired, follow the abov e procedure with this exc eption: tighten the locking handle without allowing the pin to snap back to the rabbeting ledge. The farther cl ockwise the pin i s situated, t he greater will be the spring tension.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recomm ended that a dust collection system (not provided) be connected to the jointer. It will help keep your shop clean, and reduce the ri sk of heal th problems due to wood dust. The dust collector should have sufficient capacity for this size jointer.

Figure 6

Connect the dust collection hose to the 4” diameter dust por t on the jointer (Fi gure 7) and secure it with a hose clamp or duct tape.

NOTE: Dryer v ent hose is not acceptabl e for this purpose.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

This mac hine m ust be grounded. I n the event of a malfuncti on or break down, groundi ng prov i des a path of least resi stance f or electric current to reduce the ri sk of el ectri c shock.

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equi pment-grounding 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 is properly grounded.

Figure 7

(hose and clamp not prov ided)

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specif ications on the m otor plate of the Jointer.

Extens ion co rds

The use of an extension cord is not recommended f or the PJ882 Joint er. But if one is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt age resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Use the chart in Fi gure 8 as a general guide in choosing the cor rect size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavi er gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

230 Volt, Single Phase Operation

As receiv ed from the f actory, the single-phase model of the PJ-882 Jointer i s designed to run on 230 volt power only.

You may either connect a UL/CSA listed 230V plug (similiar to the one shown in Figure 9) or “hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator. The Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after being wir ed.

If the Joi nter i s to be hard- wired, m ake sure the fuses have been r emoved or the breakers hav e been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine is being wired.

The Jointer with a 230 volt plug should onl y be connected to an outlet having the same configurati on. No adapter is av ailable or should be used with the 230 volt pl ug.

Three Phase Operation

The three-phase model i s factory wired f or 230 volt, but can be converted to 460 volt if so desired (see “Co nverti ng From 230 Volt to 460 Volt”).

*based on li miting th e lin e vol tage drop to 5V at 15 0% of th e rated amp eres.

NR: Not Recommended.

Figure 8

Figure 9

You may either connect a UL/CSA listed plug, or “hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect i s available for the operator.

If you are hard- wiri ng the Joi nt er, m ake sure the fuses have been r emoved or the breakers hav e been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer will be connected, and place a warni ng placard on the fuse holder or ci rcuit br eaker t o prevent it being turned on until wir ing is complete.

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt (Three Phas e Only)

Refer to the diagr am on page 46 for connecting the motor leads for 460 volt power. If using a plug, it must be a proper UL/CSA listed plug suitable f or 460 volt operati on. T he Joi nter m ust comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

Three-Ph ase Test Run

On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been completed, you should check that the wires have been connected pr operly:

1. Connect machine to power source and press the start butt on, shown in Figure 10. (See “Operating Controls” on page 24 for further inf ormation on the control switch.)

Figure 10

2. The cutterhead should rotate clockwise as viewed from the front of the mac hine. If the cutterhead rotation is incorrect, press the stop button (Figure 10) and disconnect machine from power.

3. Swit ch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T ".

4. Reconnect machine to power source.

Adjustments

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by unscrewing the four flat head screws (D, Figure 11) with a cr oss-point screwdriver.

3. Proper drive belt tension is achiev ed when there is a small amount of deflecti on in the drive belt midway between the pulleys, when using moderate finger pressure (Figure 12).

Figure 11

Figure 12

4. To increase the tension on the drive belt, loosen the lower hex nut (B, Fi gure 13) with a 17mm wrench, and ti ghten the top hex nut (A, Figure 13) . When finished, ti ghten lower hex nut (B, Figure 13).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard.

Figure 13

NOTE: After operating the machine for a short time, the drive belt tension should be rechecked, as the new drive belt may stretch slightly duri ng the “breaking-in” period.

Drive Belt Replacement

1. Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and remove the belt guar d ( B, Figure 11) .

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by removing the four flat head screws with a cross-point screwdriver.

3. On the mot or base pl ate, loosen the top hex nut (A, Figure 13), and lift up on the motor to create slack in the drive belt. Remove the drive belt from both pulleys.

4. Install the new drive belt around top and bottom pulleys, and tension it appropriately (see “Drive Belt Tension”).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard (Fi gure

11).

Fence Movement

The fence can be moved forward or backward across the widt h of the table. It also tilts up to 45 degrees forward and backward, and contains positive stops at bot h the se angl e s, as well as a positive stop at 90 degrees.

To slide fence forward or backward:

1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 14).

2. Push the entire fence assembly to the desired posit ion, and tighten loc king handle (A, Figure 14). A plastic buffer piece is mounted to t he fr ont of t he fence to prev ent scratching the table when the fence is moved.

NOTE: If the lock handle (A, Figure 14) i s in an inconvenient position, it can be adjusted. Loosen the two hex nuts underneath the slide bracket (Figure 15). Flip the handle to the desired posit ion, and re-ti ghten t he hex nut s. Do not overti ghten the hex nuts, as thi s can make the fence difficult to move on the slide bracket.

To tilt fence forward:

The fence can be tilted forward to any angle down to 45 degrees.

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 14).

2. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 14) until the desired angle i s indicated on the scale (D, Figure 14). Or you can place your beveled workpiece on the table and against the fence, and rotate t he handwheel (C, Fi gure

14) until the angle of the f ence matches the bevel of your workpiec e.

Figure 14

Figure 15

3. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 14).

To tilt fence backw ard:

The fence can be tilt ed back ward up to 45° (t hat is, for a total angle of 135° from table surface).

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 16).

2. Flip the 90° stop bl ock (E, Figure 16) out of the way.

3. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 16) until the desired angle i s indicated on the scale (D, Figure 16). Or you can place your beveled workpiece on the table and against the fence, and rotate t he handwheel (C, Fi gure

16) until the angle of the f ence matches the bevel of your workpiec e.

4. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 16).

IMPORTANT: When the tilted operation is finished and the f ence is ret urned to 90°, do not forget to flip the 90° stop block (F, Figure 16) back to its origi nal posi tion.

Figure 16

Fence Stops

Periodic ally check the 90° and 45° til t accuracy of the fence with an angle measuring device, such as an adjustable square or machinist’s protractor. If adjustments are necessary, proceed as follows:

Setting the 90° Stop

1. The 90° stop is contr olled by the screw (F, Figure 16) and the stop block (E, Figure 16).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (F, Figure 16).

3. Set your angle measuring device to 90 degrees, and place it on the table and against the fence.

4. Move t he fence until it fit s flush against the angle measuri ng device. Turn t he screw (F, Figure 16) until t he screw contacts the stop block (E, Figure 16).

5. Ti ghten the hex nut on the screw (F, Figure

16) and the lock handl e (B, Figure 16) .

Setting the 45° Forward Sto p

1. The 45° forward stop is controlled by the screw (H, Figure 17).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (H, Figure 17).

3. Set your angle measuring device at 45°. Place it on t he table and against the fence, and tilt t he fence until it is flush against t he 45° angle.
