Additional Safety for Jointers

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

SAFETY

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected

from machine at a high rate of speed. To
reduce the risk of kickback-related inju­ries, use quality workpieces, safe feeding
techniques, and proper machine setup or
maintenance.

GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without

guard exposes operator to knives/inserts.
Except when rabbeting, never remove
guards for regular operations or while con­nected to power. 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 adjusted before resuming
regular operations.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull knives/

inserts can increase risk of kickback and
cause poor workpiece finish. Only use sharp,
undamaged knives/inserts.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the

end grain
also requires more cutting force, which p
duces chatter or excessive chip out
joint or surface plane WITH the grain.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT.

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed

table too high can cause workpiece to hit
table and get stuck, increasing risk of kick­back. Setting outfeed table too low may
cause workpiece to become tapered from
front to back. Always keep outfeed table
even with knives/inserts at highest point
during rotation.

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or fire

may result from using poor workpieces.
Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece
before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of
nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign
material. Workpieces with minor warping
should be surface planed first with cupped
side facing infeed table.

Adjustments

For your convenience, the adjustments listed
below have been performed at the factory.
However, because of the many variables
involved with shipping, it is possible some of
these adjustments may have changed during
transportation and handling.

Before making any further service adjustments,
we recommend operating the machine on a trial
basis to ensure the best possible results.

Factory adjustments that should be verified:

• Model W1741W Knife Settings (refer to

Page 38).

• Table Parallelism (refer to Page 43).

• Depth-of-Cut Scale Calibration (refer to

SETUP

Page 48).

Tighten Belt

The final step in the setup process must be
done after approximately 16 hours of operation.
During this first 16 hours, the belt will stretch
and seat into the pulley grooves. After this time,
you must re-tension the belt to avoid slippage
and burn out. Refer to Page 51 when you are
ready to perform this important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belt can get hot. This is a
normal condition. Allow them to cool before
making adjustments.

A small amount of black belt dust at the bottom
of the belt housing is normal during the life of
the machine and does not indicate a problem
with the machine or belt.

OPERATIONS

General

To reduce your risk of serious injury
or damage to the machine, read this
entire manual BEFORE using machine.

NOT intended

To complete typical operation, operator does following:

1. Examines workpiece to verify it is safe and suitable

for cutting.

2. Adjusts fence for width of workpiece and locks it in
place.

3. Adjusts fence tilt, if necessary.

4. Adjusts infeed table height to set depth of cut per

pass.

5. Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and ear protection.

6. Locates push blocks.

7. Starts jointer.

8. Holds workpiece firmly against infeed table and

fence, and slides it into cutterhead at a steady and
controlled rate until entire length of workpiece has
advanced beyond cutterhead to outfeed table.

9. Repeats cutting process until desired results are
achieved.

To reduce the risk of eye injury and
long-term respiratory damage, always
wear safety glasses and a respirator
while operating this machine.

strongly recommend that you read books

Requirements

Follow these rules when choosing and jointing stock:

• DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains
large or loose knots. Injury to the operator or

damage to the workpiece can occur if a knot
becomes dislodged during the cutting operation.

CORRECT

ROTATION

OUTFEED TABLE

FEED DIRECTION

INFEED TABLE

With Grain

OPERATIONS

• Jointing and surface planing with the grain is safer
for the operator and produces a better finish.

Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood
of kickback and workpiece tear-out. DO NOT cut
against the grain! Cutting with the grain is feeding
the stock across the cutterhead so the grain points
down and back, as viewed from the front edge of
the stock.

Note: If the grain changes direction along the edge

of the workpiece, decrease the depth of cut and
make additional passes.

• Only process natural wood fiber through your
jointer. Your jointer is designed to cut only natural

wood stock. This machine is NOT designed to cut
metal, glass, stone, tile, products with lead-based
paint, or products that contain asbestos—cutting
these materials with a jointer may lead to injury.

• Make sure your workpiece exceeds the minimum

dimension requirements before processing it
through the jointer, or the workpiece may break
or kickback during the operation.

• Remove foreign objects from the workpiece. Make
sure that any stock you process with the jointer
is clean and free of dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks
or any other foreign objects that could damage
the cutterhead. These particles could also cause a
spark as they strike the cutterhead and create a fire
hazard.

Note: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt surface

can have small pieces of concrete or stone pressed
into the surface.

• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before

jointing. Wood with a moisture content over 20%
will cause unnecessary wear on the cutters and poor
cutting results. Excess moisture can also hasten rust
and corrosion.

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order
below:

1. Surface Plane on the Jointer: The concave face of
the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer.

2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer: The opposite
face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with a
thickness planer.

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make
one flat face on a piece of stock to prepare it for thickness
planing on a planer.

To surface plane on jointer, do these steps:

1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the

operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements
section).

2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for

each pass.

Model W1741W/W1741SW (Mfd. Since 10/15)

If you are not experienced with a
jointer, set depth of cut to "0" and
practice feeding workpiece across the
tables as described for each of the
jointing procedures. This process will
better prepare you for actual operation.

7. Repeat Step 6 until entire surface is flat.

Tip: When squaring up stock, cut opposite side of

workpiece with a planer instead of the jointer to
ensure both sides are parallel.

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished,
flat-edged surface that is suitable for joinery or finishing,
as shown below. It is also a necessary step when squaring
rough or warped stock.

To edge joint on jointer, do these steps:

1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suit-

able for the operation (see Stock Inspection &
Requirements section).

2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for

each pass.

If you are not experienced with a

OPERATIONS

Tip: When squaring up stock, cut opposite edge of

workpiece with a table saw instead of the jointer—
otherwise, both edges of workpiece will not be

parallel with each other.

Bevel Cutting

Bevel cuts can be made by setting the fence at the desired
angle and feeding the workpiece firmly along the fence
face, with the bottom inside corner firmly against the
table. The cutting process typically requires multiple
passes or cuts to bevel the entire edge of a workpiece.

To bevel cut on jointer, do these steps:

1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the

operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements
section).

2. Set infeed table height to cutting depth desired for

each pass.

Model W1741W/W1741SW (Mfd. Since 10/15)

If you are not experienced with a
jointer, set depth of cut to "0" and
practice feeding workpiece across the
tables as described for each of the
jointing procedures. This process will
better prepare you for actual operation.

Note: Cutting depth for bevel cuts is typically

between
width of stock.

3. Set fence tilt to desired angle of cut.

4. Place workpiece against fence and infeed table with

concave side face down.

5. Start jointer.

6. With a push block in your leading hand, press

workpiece against table and fence with firm pres­sure, and feed workpiece over cutterhead with a push
block in your trailing hand.

OPERATIONS

IMPORTANT: When your leading hand gets within 4"

of the cutterhead, lift it up and over cutterhead, and
place push block on portion of the workpiece once
it is 4" past cutterhead. Now, focus your pressure
on outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and
repeat same action with your trailing hand when it
gets within 4" of cutterhead. To help keep your hands
safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from moving
cutterhead at any time during operation!

Rabbet Cutting

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a section of
the workpiece edge, as shown below. When combined
with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a
simple, yet strong method of joining stock.

To rabbet cut on jointer, do these steps:

1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the

operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements
section).

When cutterhead guard is removed,
attempting any other cut besides a
rabbet directly exposes operator to
moving cutterhead. ALWAYS replace
cutterhead guard after rabbet cutting!

and over cutterhead, and safely reposition it on the
outfeed side to continue supporting workpiece. Use
push blocks whenever practical to further reduce risk
of accidental hand contact with cutterhead.

).

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.

Cleaning & Protecting

Cleaning the Model W1741W/W1741SW is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up,
use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping it clean
after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does
not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep your table r u s t­free with regular applications of quality lubricants.

MAINTENANCE

-35-

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated,
simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced.
DO NOT lubricate them.

It is essential to clean components before lubricating
them because dust and chips build up on lubricated
components and make them hard to move. Simply adding
more grease to them will not yield smooth moving
components.

Clean the components below with mineral spirits or other
oil/grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.

Inspecting Knives

The height of the knives can be inspected with a
straightedge to ensure that they are set even with the
outfeed table at their highest point in the cutterhead
rotation, or top dead center (TDC).

To inspect the knives, do these steps:

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all service proce­dures! If this warning is ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

Setting/Replacing Knives

(W1741W)

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper
operation of the jointer and it plays an important role
in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than
the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus,
become dull much faster.

There are two options for setting the knives—the
straightedge method and the knife-setting jig method.
Each option has advantages and disadvantages; the
correct one for you will become a matter of personal
preference. For best results, the tables must be parallel
with each other (refer to Checking/Adjusting Table
Parallelism on Page 43) and the outfeed table height
must be properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table

Height on Page 47).

Straightedge Method: A high quality straightedge (or

Jointer Pal
knife heights are set to the bottom of the straightedge,
as shown. Because the knife projection height from the
cutterhead is dependent on the outfeed table height,
the outfeed table must be set as described in Setting
Outfeed Table Height on Page 47 for this method to
work correctly.

Outfeed Infeed

Figure 53. Example of straightedge

When using the straightedge method to set the knives,
you will not need to move the outfeed table once it is set
and you will always be assured that the knives are even
with the outfeed table in their highest point of rotation
(TDC)—even if the cutterhead is not parallel with the
outfeed table.

Knife-Setting Jig Method: The infeed table is lowered
to fit the jig on the cutterhead as shown, and the knife
heights are set to just touch the middle pad of the jig.

The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set
all the knives evenly and at the correct height in the
cutterhead.

The cutterhead in this jointer is equipped with jack
screws that allow for careful positioning of the knives.

Adjusting Table Parallelism

For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be
parallel to 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.

Each table has four eccentric bushings on the base
underneath that allow the table to be adjusted parallel.
Each bushing is locked in place by a set screw.

Straightedge

The correct order for adjusting the table parallelism
is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the
cutterhead, 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 knives/inserts
or the results may be skewed.

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, do these steps:

1. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs

over cutterhead, and lower outfeed table until
straightedge just touches cutterhead body, as shown
in Figure 67.

2. Remove set screw from each of the four eccentric
bushings under outfeed table (see Figure 68).

Replacing/Tensioning Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to
the cutterhead, the belt must be in good condition (free
from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly tensioned.
As the machine is used, the belts will slightly wear and
stretch, eventually losing their efficiency of transmitted
power until they can be retensioned.

Also, a new belt typically has a break-in period, and
should be checked/retensioned after the first 16 hours of
belt life, as it will stretch and seat during this time.

Aligning Pulleys

Pulley alignment is another important factor in power
transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel
to each other and in the same plane (coplaner) for
optimum performance.

The lower pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor
alignment fasteners, sliding the motor in or out, and
retightening the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in
place.
