Safety Instructions For Jointer/Planer (continued)

WARNING: Do not attempt to use the tool until you have read thoroughly and understand completely the oper-

ator’s manual. Pay close attention to the safety rules, including Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions. If you use this tool properly and only for what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable service.

Major Hazards

All of the safety information and cutting steps are critical to the safe operation of the jointer/planer.

1. Workpiece kickback

Kickback is the uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the workpiece during jointing or planing. If kickback occurs, the workpiece can hit you or a bystander hard enough to cause broken bones, internal organ injury or death. To reduce or prevent kickback, read and follow the safety information in the Jointing and Planing sections of the manual.

2. Kickback followed by blade contact

Your fingers or hand can contact the blade following kickback if your hands are unprotected or too near the cutter blades. Your fingers can be cut off. To reduce the risk of contacting the cutting blades, read and follow the safety information in the Jointing and Planing sections of the manual.

3. Wrong way feed

Wrong way feed is feeding the workpiece into the cutter blades in the direction of blade rotation. The workpiece can be grabbed by the blades and pull your hands into the blades before you can let go or pull back. Fingers can be cut off. To reduce the risk of wrong way feed, always feed the workpiece against the direction of blade rotation. Cutter blade rotation is shown on the sliding fence guard (behind the center of the fence).

4. Thrown workpiece, chips and cutter blade pieces

The jointer/planer can throw the workpiece, workpiece chips, or pieces of loose or broken cutter blades. You can be blinded. Wear safety goggles labelled “ANSI Z87.1”

(or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the package.

DANGER: Follow the steps listed below to reduce or eliminate the risk of being injured when using the jointer/planer. Failure to do so can result in a life threatening injury or death.

1. Lock the fence lock knob.

2. Set the depth of cut per pass to less than 1/8" for jointing and less than 1/32" for planing.

3. Check the blade guard for proper position and smooth operation.

4. Keep hands as far away from the cutters as possible when jointing or planing.

5. Use push blocks or push sticks whenever possible.

6. Complete the cut without stopping or backing up the workpiece.

7. Read and follow the safety information and safety instructions in the operator’s manual and in the safety labels on the jointer/planer.

8. Know location and function of all controls before using tool. See “Getting to know your Jointer/Planer” section of this manual.

Before Using the Jointer/Planer

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-bases paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of mistakes that could cause serious, permanent injury, do not plug the jointer/planer in until the following steps have been satisfactorily completed.

Know and Understand the Jointer/Planer

• Completely assemble and align jointer/planer.

• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch, fence slide locking handle, cutter guard, depth of cut hand wheel, locks and stops, fence bevel lock handle, outfeed table, infeed table and hold-down/push-blocks.

• Review and understand all safety instructions and operating procedures in this manual.

• Review the maintenance methods for this jointer/ planer.

Page 4

Safety Instructions For Jointer/Planer (continued)

• Find and read the following warning labels found on the jointer/planer:

Safety Labels and Indicators on the Jointer/Planer

The following labels and indicators are on your jointer/ planer. Locate, read and follow the safety instructions and information contained in these labels.

1. Safety instruction label on the top of the guard.

2. Cutter rotation indicator is on top of the fence holder.

3. Cutter position indicator is on top of the fence.

4. Safety instruction label below dust chute.

Push blocks and push sticks

Two plastic push blocks are supplied with your jointer/ planer. Use them when practical. The rubber sole of the push blocks give better traction with the wood than your hands do. If they become slippery, they can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol, paint thinner or sandpaper.

CAUTION: Use rubbing alcohol or paint thinner only as described on their containers. Use only in well ventilated areas away from open flames, sparks or heat sources to prevent serious personal injury.

Push blocks can’t always be used. With larger workpieces, you may have better control of the workpiece using your hands. Always make a test pass first to determine which method gives you better control. Before you make any cut, plan your hand positions. If a kickback should occur, plan so that your hands will not fall or be forced into the cutters.

Three Inch Rule (3")

Generally, if your hands are closer than three inches to the blade as you feed the wood, use push blocks. This gives extra protection to your hands by placing the push blocks between your hands and the cutters.

Always Use Push Blocks When Planing, Beveling Or Chamfering

When jointing, test for workpiece stability before actually jointing, and use push blocks when you can without sacrificing control.

When Installing Or Moving the Jointer/Planer Reduce the Risk of Dangerous Environment.

• Use the jointer/planer in a dry, indoor place protected from rain.

• Keep work area well lighted.

To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected jointer/ planer movement.

• Bolt or clamp the jointer/planer to firm level surface where there is plenty of room for moving the workpiece through the entire cut.

• Support the jointer/planer so the tables are level and the jointer/planer does not rock.

• Put the jointer/planer where neither operators nor bystanders must stand in line with the wood while planing or jointing it.

Before Each Use Inspect your jointer/planer.

WARNING: The 2-1/2 inch jointer/planer pulley and

the 3-1/2 inch motor pulley furnished will run the cutter head at about 5000 RPM when used with a 3450 RPM motor. Use of different types of pulleys or motors will change this speed and could cause jamming, binding, kickback, thrown knives or other dangers.

• To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or unplugging the jointer/planer.

• Turn off and unplug the jointer/planer before moving it to a new area. To reduce the risk of back injury, get help when you need to lift or move the jointer/planer.

• Bolt the jointer/planer to the floor if it tends to slip, walk, slide or tip over. Be especially aware of movement when jointing/planing long heavy boards.

• Never Stand On Tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutter head. Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the switch off, unplug the jointer/planer, and remove the switch key before moving the cutter head guard, changing the blades, changing the setup, or adjusting anything.

• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, unit stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the jointer/planer works.

• Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which is was designed.

Page 5

• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the jointer/ planer off and unplug the jointer/planer.

• Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using the jointer/planer again.

• Make sure the cutter guard works properly. With the switch off and key removed, pull the cutter guard open and let go. If the guard doesn’t smoothly swing closed, contact an Authorized Service Center.

• Make sure the cutter head turns in the right direction.

The top should move toward the infeed table. If the cutter head turns the wrong direction, contact an Authorized Service Center.

• Keep Jointer/Planer interior free of wood chips and dust buildup around motor and switch box.

• Keep knives sharp. Dull or nicked knives tend to “pound” and chew at the wood, causing kickbacks.

• To reduce the risk of injury from unsafe accessories, use only recommended accessories.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

• Use this jointer/planer to cut only wood.

• Use push blocks or push sticks whenever possible.

• Plan your hand placement so your fingers will not be anywhere a sudden slip could cause them to slide or fall into the cutter head. When using only one holddown/push-block to feed the wood, do not put your other hand on the jointer/planer, workpiece, or holddown/push-block.

• To reduce the risk of injury from thrown pieces, make sure the knives are sharp, properly installed and the cutter knives wedge screws are tight.

• Make sure the clamps and locks are tight and there is not excessive play in any parts.

• Adjust the depth of cut to between 1/32 and 1/16 of an inch for best results in most operations. A deep cut makes feeding the wood harder and can cause the wood to kickback. To be sure you will make a depth of cut you planned, always lower the infeed table slightly farther than you wanted then, raise the table to the

desired depth.

• Use The Right Tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

• To reduce the risk of burns or other fire damage, never use the jointer/planer near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

• Before using the jointer/planer, clear the table of all objects not needed to feed the workpiece.

• To reduce the risk of injury, don’t do any layout, assembly, or setup work on the jointer/planer bed.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears

Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting.

• Make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging jointer/ planer into a power outlet.

Dress for safety.

• Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles (not glasses) complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

• Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hair.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce the risk of possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using jointer/planer for hours at a time.

Inspect Your Workpiece

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

Plan your cut.

• Small or thin workpieces can kickback when they tip

over on the tables or into the cutter head. To reduce the risk of cutter head contact or workpiece kickback:

- Never joint, plane or bevel workpieces shorter than 12 inches.

Page 6

Safety Instructions For Jointer/Planer (continued)

• When jointing or rabbeting:

- Never joint or bevel workpieces less than 3/4 inch wide or 1/4 inch thick.

- Always use the hold-down/push-blocks when jointing or beveling wood whenever possible.

- When rabbeting, always make cuts in 1/8" increments or less.

• When planing or beveling:

- Never plane wood thinner than 1/2 inch.

- Always use hold-down/push-blocks when planing wood.

- Never cut Freehand. Guide your workpiece solidly against the fence and table top.

- Make sure there’s no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

Whenever Jointer/Planer Is Running

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your jointer/planer) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

• Before actually cutting with the jointer/planer, let it run for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the jointer/planer off. Unplug the jointer/planer. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Keep Children Away.

• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the jointer/planer.

• Make sure bystanders are clear of the jointer/planer and workpiece.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top. Never use another person as additional support or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

• Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

• Never turn your jointer/planer “ON” before clearing everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.

• Before trying a new or little used operation, carefully plan your hand placement. Make sure you have proper hold-down/push-blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, etc. ready to use.

Don’t Force Tool.

• Let the cutter head reach full speed before cutting.

• Feed the workpiece into the jointer/planer only fast enough to let the tool cut without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing jammed material.

• Turn switch “OFF”.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

• Check knives for sharpness and nicks before starting again.

Before Leaving the Jointer/Planer

• Turn the jointer/planer off.

• Wait for knives to come to a complete stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

WARNING:

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which is marked to comply wtih ANSI Z87.1.

Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means attention!!! Your safety is involved.

• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unex-

pected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the power cord into a power source outlet during unpacking, until all assembly steps are complete, and you have read and understand the safety and operating instructions.

WARNING: This tool is heavy. To reduce the risk of back injury, get help whenever you have to lift the tool.

Your jointer/planer is shipped complete in one carton and includes a steel cabinet.

1. Remove the parts from the carton. Lift the bed assembly at the bottom of the base.

2. Place the tool on a secure, stationary work surface and look it over carefully.

3. Separate all parts from packing materials and check each one with the “Table of Loose Parts” and the “List of Loose Parts” to make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material.

If you are missing any parts, check packing material for those items.

WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not attempt to assemble the jointer/planer. Do not plug in the power cord or turn the switch on until the missing parts are obtained and are installed correctly.

4. Contact an Authorized Service Center to get the miss-

Should be no gap or overlap here when square is flipped over in dotted position

ing parts. Use the “Repair Parts” pages at the end of this manual to identify the part number of the missing parts after completing the “Unpacking and Checking Contents section.

WARNING: The cutting knives are extremely sharp. Do not touch the cutter knives to prevent serious injury.

5. The top of the table and the front of the fence are covered with a protective coating. These surfaces must be cleaned before using the jointer/planer. Clean these surfaces with a general purpose solvent, such as mineral spirits. Water will rust the surfaces. Do Not use water, soapy water or water based cleaners.

WARNING: Use solvents according to the instructions on their package. Use only in well ventilated areas, away from flames, sparks or heat sources. Do not use solvents in closed areas to prevent serious injury.

Protect the exposed surfaces with wax. Paste wax or automotive wax are both good for this job. The wax will protect the surface from rust and will make it easier to slide the wood along the table and fence. Automotive wax is best as it will not rub off on the wood.

6. Wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.

List of Loose Parts

NOTE: Before beginning assembly, check that all parts

are included. If you are missing any part, do not assemble the tool. Call 1-866-5391710 to get the missing part. Sometimes small parts can get lost in packaging material.

Cutter Head Guard Functional Check

WARNING: Cutter guard helps provide protection

over the cutterhead. It must always be in place and functioning properly to prevent serious personal injury.

With the power off and the switch key removed, check the guard to make sure it is functioning properly.

• Position the fence to the rear of the bed for maximum width of cut. Do not position fence beyond rear edge of cutter knives.

• Pass a 1/4 inch thick piece of wood over the cutterhead between the guard and the fence.

The guard must return automatically to a “rest position” against the fence when free of the wood.

If guard does not return automatically, adjust the guard spring, as described in the next section.

Adjusting Guard Spring

1. Remove the pan head screw from bottom of the guard post.

2. Remove tension on guard by turning tension knob clockwise. Pull up on guard to remove.

3. Add tension to the cutter head guard in 1/2 turn increments by turning the tension knob and reinserting the guard post.

4. Repeat Cutter Head Guard Functional check as previously described.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the spring. Overtightening may cause premature spring or guard breakage. If the guard or spring breaks or malfunctions, do not use the tool. Replace the defective parts before the tool is put back in service.

When the adjustment is complete, reinstall the pan head screw in the bottom of the guard post.

Adjusting Table Gibs

“Gibs” are provided to take up all play between the mating dovetail ways of the base and infeed and outfeed tables of your jointer. Proper gib adjustment is necessary for the correct functioning of the jointer. The gibs on your machine were adjusted at the factory and should require no further adjustment. However, to adjust the gibs proceed as follows:

1. Loosen each of the lock nuts. Make sure the table locks are also loose.

2. Finger tighten each set screw in turn, until the screw “bottoms out”. Do not overtighten the screws.

3. Recheck table play. If table is still loose, repeat step 2. If table is snug, tighten the set screw lock nuts without allowing set screws to turn.

4. Check that the table raises and lowers freely with the elevation handwheel. If there is too much resistance, loosen the set screws and repeat adjustment.

Angle Gauge Use

An angle gauge is included with the RIDGID jointer to set the fence at the proper angle. To assemble the gauge slide the one side over the other at right angles to each other. The angle gauge has several faces for some of the more common angle settings. These angles include 90°, 45°, 30° and 22.5°. There is also a 0°-45° protractor on one side to set your fence to an angle not provided. Simply set the gauge at the end of the fence on the outfeed table as shown and set the angle you need.

Safety Instructions for Basic Jointer/Planer Operation

Before Each Use

Inspect your jointer/planer.

WARNING: The 2-1/2 inch jointer/planer pulley and

• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, always turn switch off, remove switch key and unplug

jointer/planer before installing or removing any blade, accessory or attachment or making any adjustments.

• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the jointer/ planer off and unplug the jointer/planer.

• Replace damaged or missing parts before using the jointer/planer again.

• Make sure the cutter head turns in the right direction. The top should move toward the infeed table. Call an Authorized Service Center for help if the cutter head turns the wrong way.

• Keep Jointer/Planer interior, free of wood chips and

Page 27

dust buildup around motor and switch box.

• Keep blades sharp. Dull or nicked blades tend to “pound” and chew at the wood, causing kickbacks.

• Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which is was designed.

Push blocks and push sticks

WARNING: Use rubbing alcohol or paint thinner only as described on their containers. Use only in well ventilated areas away from open flames, sparks or heat sources to prevent serious personal injury.

Feeding the Workpiece (All Operations)

Before you make any cut, plan your hand positions. If a kickback should occur, plan so that your hands will not fall or be forced into the cutters.

Three Inch Rule (3")

Always Use Push Blocks When Planing, Beveling Or Chamfering

When jointing, test for workpiece stability before actually jointing, and use push blocks when you can without sacrificing control.

WARNING: Plan your work carefully. Use pushblocks for all jointing and planing operations for which such blocks are appropriate to prevent serious personal injury.

• Support long workpieces at both infeed and outfeed, as shown on page 30.

• Feed with grain whenever possible. When necessary to feed against grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly to minimize workpiece splintering, breakage or dangerous kickback.

• Keep steady pressure down on table and back against fence.

• As leading edge of board passes by cutterhead, slightly shift pressure to above cutterhead and outfeed

table, away from infeed table. Keep pressure at outfeed table and near cutterhead for remainder of cut.

• Use hand-over-hand motion, releasing forward hand and moving it to rear, to continue feeding workpiece.

• Feed the board at a continuous rate until the cut is made along the entire length of the board. Any hesitation or stopping could cause a “step” on the edge of the board, resulting in an uneven edge as the cut is completed.

• If it is difficult to maintain steady rate, table or fence may need waxing (see Maintenance Section of manual.)

To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

• Use this jointer/planer to cut only wood.

• Make sure the clamps and locks are tight and there is not excessive play in any parts.

• To reduce the risk of injury from thrown pieces, make sure the blades are properly installed and the cutter blade wedge screws are tight.

• Use The Right Tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

• To reduce the risk of burns or other fire damage, never use the jointer/planer near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

• Before using the jointer/planer, clear the table of all objects not needed to feed the workpiece.

• To reduce the risk of injury, don’t do layout, assembly, or setup work on the jointer/planer.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Plan your work

• Before trying a new or little used operation, carefully plan your hand placement. Make sure you have proper hold-down/push-blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, etc. ready to use.

• To reduce the risk of injury from unsafe accessories, use only recommended accessories.

Safety Instructions for Basic Jointer/Planer Operation (continued)

Plan Ahead to Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears

Dress for safety

• Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

• Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hair.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce the risk of possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using jointer/planer for hours at a time.

• Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles, not glasses, complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece.

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

Plan your cut.

• Small or thin workpieces can kickback when they tip over on the tables or into the cutter head. To reduce the risk of head contact or workpiece kickback:

- Never joint, plane or bevel workpieces shorter than 12 inches.

• When jointing:

- Never joint workpieces less than 3/4 inch wide or 1/4 inch thick.

- Always use the hold-down/push-blocks when jointing or beveling wood narrower than 3 inches.

- When rabbeting, always make cuts in 1/8" increments or less.

• When planing or beveling:

- Never plane wood thinner than 1/2 inch.

- Always use hold-down/push-blocks when planing.

- Never cut Freehand. Guide your workpiece solidly against the fence and table top.

- Make sure there’s no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) if your workpiece is hard to hold down to the table. Never use another person as additional support or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

• Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

• Never turn your jointer/planer “ON” before clearing everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.

• Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting.

• Make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging jointer/ planer into a power outlet.

Whenever Jointer/Planer Is Running

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your jointer/planer) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Keep Children Away.

• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the jointer/planer.

• Make sure bystanders are clear of the jointer/planer and workpiece.

• Before actually cutting with the jointer/planer, let it run for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the jointer/planer off. Unplug the jointer/planer. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Don’t Force Tool.

• Feed the workpiece into the jointer/planer only fast enough to let the tool cut without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing jammed material.

• Turn switch “OFF”.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

• Check blades, cutter and fence for proper alignment before starting again.

Before Leaving the jointer/planer.

• Turn the jointer/planer off.

• Wait for jointer/planer to come to a complete stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

Page 29

Basic Jointer/Planer Cutting Operations

Depth of Cut Handwheel Operation

Turning the handwheel clockwise will lower the infeed table. This will cause more wood to be removed from the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Turning the handwheel counterclockwise will raise the infeed table causing less wood to be removed from the workpiece.

The maximum amount of wood that can be removed during one cut is 1/8".

Feeding the Workpiece

Hold the board firmly down on both tables and against the fence. Keep fingers close together. Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed until the cut is made along the entire length of the board. Any hesitation or stopping could cause a “step” to be cut on the edge of the board which would cause the board to ride up on the outfeed table resulting in a “crooked” edge on the board.

As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead, remove the leading hand. Continue feeding while placing the leading hand behind the trailing hand. Continue feeding in this manner “hand over hand”, until the entire length of the board is cut. As soon as enough of the workpiece has been cut to do so, put pressure over the cutterhead

and outfeed table. Do not feed too fast. A slow steady rate of feed pro-

duces a smooth accurate cut. Feeding too fast causes a “rippled” cut, makes it difficult to guide the workpiece accurately, and could be dangerous.

NOTE: Wood chips may accumulate inside the jointer/ planer. Periodically clean out the chips from the interior of the jointer/planer.

NOTE: Before cleaning wood chips.

• Turn switch “OFF”.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the jointer/planer.

Stop Pin Operation

A stop pin is supplied to prevent planing or jointing more than 1/8" depth of cut. Planing and jointing operations greater than 1/8" per pass are not recommended. Only rabbeting operations should be performed at cutting depths greater than 1/8". Never cut a full 1/2" rabbet in one cut. Cut in 1/8" depth increments until your full depth is acquired.

Depth of Cut

Indicator

Feed with the grain whenever possible. If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be fed against the

grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly.

Basic Jointer/Planer Cutting Operations (continued)

Planing

WARNING: To avoid risk or injury from cutterhead

contact, always use push blocks when planing.

• Follow all instructions above for “Feeding the Workpiece”.

• Keep fingers close together so they do not hang down toward the knives.

Planing is removing wood from the widest surface or face of a board so as to make it flat and smooth.

Planing on a jointer will not necessarily make the face that is planed square or parallel to any other surface. Planing on a jointer only smooths and flattens. If you are planing and jointing a board, the planing operation should be performed first. This allows the jointed edge to be cut square to the face which was previously planed flat and smooth.

Jointing

Jointing is the removal of wood along the edge of a piece of wood so as to make that edge straight, smooth and square to the wood face which is against the fence.

To ensure a square cut, the workpiece face must be held flat against the fence throughout the entire cut.

Beveling/Chamfering

Adjust the fence to the desired angle. Lock fence in position using fence tilt knob and fence sliding knob.

WARNING: To avoid risk or injury from cutterhead contact, always use push blocks when beveling or chamfering.

• Adjust fence to desired angle. Lock fence lock knob and sliding guard knob.

• Make a test pass to assure you have control of the workpiece.

NOTE: Removing only the corner on the edge of a board is known as chamfering while beveling is removing the corner or the edge of the board down to the board’s surface.

Normally a chamfer is made with one cut and only the corner of the wood is cut off. Therefore, a cut deeper that 1/16 of an inch may be made.

WARNING: Do not contact the cutting knives or the guard with the push-blocks. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Rabbeting

Rabbeting is very similar to jointing except that only part of the edge is jointed. Do not remove the guard for rabbeting. To rabbet hold the workpiece firmly against the fence. Do not make cuts greater than 1/8". To make a deeper rabbet, make cuts in 1/8" deep increments. Because the workpiece is supported by the outfeed table during a rabbet cut, the infeed table must be lowered after each pass.

Stop Pin Operation

A stop pin (item #13 page 19) is supplied to prevent against planing or jointing more than 1/8" depth of cut. Planing and jointing operations greater than 1/8" per pass are not recommended. Rabbeting operations greater than 1/8" can be performed by pulling the stop pin out and lowering the infeed table in 1/8" increments. The pin automatically resets when you return to the 0" to 1/8" depth of cut range. Never cut a full 1/2" rabbet in one cut. Cut in 1/8" depth increments until your full depth is acquired.

Support Long Workpieces

To reduce the risk of injury from slips or kickbacks, use extra supports (tables, saw horses, etc.) at both infeed and outfeed ends if your workpiece is hard to hold down to the table.

Face

Rabbet

Edge

Using the Hold-Down/Push-Blocks

Always use the hold-down/push-blocks whenever possible when jointing or rabbeting wood.

Grasp the hold-down/push-blocks firmly with the fingers close together and wrapped around the handle. Position the hold-down/push-blocks flat, on top of workpiece and push the workpiece down against the table. This helps to provide a quality cut and minimize the chance of a kickback.

Hold-down pressure must also be sufficient to prevent hold-down/push-block from sliding or slipping on the top face of workpiece when advancing workpiece over cutterhead.

Use a hand-over-hand motion of the hold-down/pushblocks, being careful to maintain control over the workpiece at all times.

This means that once the workpiece has been fed past the cutterhead onto the outfeed table, one hold-down/ push-block must always maintain contact with the workpiece on the outfeed table.

Page 32

Basic Jointer/Planer Cutting Operations (continued)

WARNING: If the hold-down/push-blocks tend to slip while feeding, clean rubber surface immediately with sandpaper to prevent serious personal injury.

When planing wood between 1/2 inch and 3/4 of an inch thick and narrower than the hold-down/push-block, tilt the hold-down/push-block so that it clears the tip of the cutter guard while feeding.

Never plane wood that is thinner than 1/2 inch. It is apt to split or shatter and thus has a greater tendency to kickback.

Sliding Fence Operation

WARNING: Moving parts can injure. Turn jointer/

planer off and wait for all parts to stop, before adjusting fence.

When you are not cutting at full width of cut the fence can be moved across the jointer/planer to take full advantage of the “sharpness” of the blades.

When blades are new or freshly sharpened the fence should be positioned to the extreme rear of outfeed and infeed tables but not beyond the end of the blades.

Most of the cutting (usually jointing) will be done with the fence in this position. As the blades become dull, the fence can be moved toward the guard where the blades are sharper.

To move the fence, turn jointer/planer off, loosen Sliding Fence Knob and slide the fence to the desired position.

Sliding Lock Knob

Page 33

Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the tables, the fence, the cutter guard, the cutterhead or the knives. Clean them with an appropriate solvent.

Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and the fence so that the wood slides easily while feeding. This also deters rusting.

Do not allow chips to accumulate on the underside of the jointer/planer.

If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

Lubrication

WARNING: Unplug the jointer/planer. Unit could

start suddenly. You could be badly hurt.

The ball bearings in this machine are packed with grease at the factory. They required no further lubrication.
