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,

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full­load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the

Dust Collection

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.

Setting Outfeed Table

Height

If outfeed table is set too high, workpiece will contact
outfeed table edge during operation, increasing risk
of kickback.

During jointer operation, the outfeed table must be level
with the knives when they are at top-dead-center (TDC).
If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be
tapered from front to back or there will be snipe (a gouge
in end of board that is uneven with rest of cut). If the
outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the
edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
risk of kickback and related injuries.

Top Dead

Center

Figure 29. Cutterhead knife at top-dead-

center.

The outfeed table adjustment will also have to be made
any time you perform maintenance on the cutterhead or
knives.

To set outfeed table height, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove rear access panel and move/remove

cutterhead guard away to access full length of table.

3. Rotate cutterhead pulley until a knife is at TDC, as
illustrated in Figure 29.

4. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it extends
over cutterhead. If knife lifts off of table, or knife is
below straightedge, adjust outfeed table height until
knife at TDC just touches straightedge.

5. If outfeed table is correctly set, knife at TDC should
just touch straightedge, as shown in Figure 30.

6. Lock outfeed table in position (see Figure 31), and
re-install/release cutterhead guard.

Adjustments

For your convenience, the adjustments listed below have
been performed at the factory and no further setup is
required to operate your machine.

However, because of the many variables involved with
shipping, we recommend that you at least verify the
following adjustments to ensure the best possible results
from your new machine.

Step-by-step instructions for these adjustments can be
found in SECTION 7: SERVICE.

Factory adjustments that should be verified:

1. Knife Settings (Page 40).

2. Depth Scale Calibration (Page 45).

3. Fence Stop Accuracy (Page 42).

4. Table Parallelism (Page 47).

Tightening V-Belt

The final step in the setup process must be done after
approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16
hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley
grooves. After this time, you must re-tension the V-belts
to avoid slippage and burn out. Refer to Page 46 when
you are ready to perform this important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belts 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 V-belts.

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

5. Puts on safety glasses and respirator.

6. Locates push blocks.

7. Starts jointer.

8. Using push blocks, holds workpiece firmly against

both the 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 Steps 5–8 until satisfied with the results.

10. Stops jointer.

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

Stock Inspection

& Requirements

Here are some rules to follow when choosing and
jointing stock:

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

age to the workpiece can occur if the knots become
dislodged during the cutting operation.

• DO NOT joint or surface plane against the grain
direction. Cutting against the grain increases the
likelihood of stock kickback, as well as tear-out on
the workpiece.

Against Grain

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

Cutting with the grain is described as feeding the
stock on the jointer so the grain points down and
toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (see
Figure 34).

Note: If the grain changes direction along the edge

of the board, decrease the cutting depth and make
additional passes.

• Remove foreign objects from the stock. Make sure
that any stock you process with the jointer is clean
and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any
other foreign objects that may damage the jointer
blades, or create a fire hazard if drawn into dust
collector. Wood stacked on a concrete floor may
contain small pieces of stone or concrete and should
be removed before jointing.

• Only process natural wood fiber through your
jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood,
laminates or other synthetically made materials.

• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before
jointing. Wood with a moisture content over 20%
will cause unnecessary wear on the knives and poor
cutting results.

Setting Depth of Cut

The depth of cut on a jointer affects the amount of mate­rial removed from the bottom of the workpiece as it pass­es over the cutterhead.

The depth of cut is set by adjusting the height of the infeed
table relative to the cutterhead knives/inserts at TDC (top
dead center).

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in order
below:

1. Surface Plane using Jointer: The concave face of

the workpiece face is surface planed flat with the
jointer (see Figure 40).

2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer: A thickness
planer flattens opposite workpiece face (see Figure

41).

3. Edge-Jointing using Jointer: A concave workpiece
edge is jointed flat with jointer (see Figure 42).

4. Rip-Cut on a Table Saw: A jointed workpiece edge is

placed against a table saw fence and opposite edge
is cut off (see Figure 43).

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make
one flat face on a workpiece (see Figures 44–45). This is
a necessary step when preparing a workpiece to be run

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge-jointing is to produce a finished,
flat-edged surface (see Figures 47–46) that is suitable
for joinery or finishing. 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 suitable for the

operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements sec-
tion).

2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for

each pass.

Bevel Cutting

Bevel cuts (see Figures 48–49) 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.

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

Note: Cutting depth for bevel cuts is typically

between

Note: 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 (see Figures 50–51). 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 sec-
tion).

If you are not experienced with a

Cleaning & Protecting

Cleaning the W1745W 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 resin­desolving 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 the table
rust-free with regular applications of quality lubricants.

Lubrication

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

Provided is a list of components that require periodic
lubrication. Be careful not to over-lubricate these

Adjusting Gibs

Adjustment of the table gibs allows you to control the
amount of play in the table movement, which determines
how easy the tables move up and down.

Both tables have their own gibs that function and adjust
in the same manner.

Note: Poorly lubricated sliding ways, or those that
become gummed-up with dust/oil, will often feel similar
to an over-tightened gibs. Table movement can often be
improved by simply cleaning/lubricating the sliding ways
regularly. We recommend that you do this prior to making
any adjustments.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 4mm ...............................................1

Open-End Wrench 10mm.......................................1

To adjust table gibs, do these steps:

1. Loosen both jam nuts on the gib screws shown in

3. Evenly tighten gib set screws a small amount, then

check table by moving it up and down. Adjust set
screws as needed until table movement is free of
friction and is balanced with minimal play and ease
of movement.

Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder to

adjust tables.

Tensioning/Replacing

V-Belts

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

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

Check/Adjusting Table

Parallelism

The infeed and outfeed tables must be parallel with each
other in order to produce a straight, jointed edge. When
the tables are not parallel with each other, the jointer will
produce workpieces that are cupped (concave) or bowed
(convex) along their length.

Table parallelism is factory-set, and should not normally
need to be adjusted when the machine is new. However,
after prolonged use, or if machine has been jarred dur­ing lifting or transportation, it may become necessary to
adjust the table parallelism.

Outfeed Table

Straightedge

Infeed Table

Table parallelism is adjusted by inserting shims between
the dovetailed ways of the outfeed table to make it paral­lel with the infeed table. Once this adjustment is made,
the outfeed table height should not need to be adjusted
again.

see if there are any noticeable gaps between straight­edge and outfeed table. Do this at both front and rear
of table.

— If there are no gaps, and the straightedge makes

full contact with both tables at front and rear, the
tables are parallel with each other and no adjust­ments are necessary.

— If there are gaps anywhere between one of the

tables and the straightedge, the tables are not par­allel to each other and must be adjusted. Proceed
to Step 6.

6. Insert feeler gauge between table and straightedge
where gap is greatest (see Figure 76). Maximum
allowable tolerance is 0.003".
