is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk

of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

Model W1857/W1858 (For Machines Mfd. Since 01/21)

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead

Additional Safety for Jointers

or other moving components! Flying chips from cutting operations can cause eye injuries or
blindness. Workpieces or inserts/knives thrown by cutterhead (kickback) can strike nearby operator
or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from these hazards,
operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

SAFETY

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected

from machine at high rate of speed.
Kickback injuries occur from getting struck
by workpiece or hands being pulled into
cutterhead. To reduce risk of kickback,
only use proper workpieces, safe feeding
techniques, and proper machine setup.

GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without

guards exposes operator to knives/inserts
and other hazardous moving parts. Except
when rabbeting, never operate jointer or
allow it to be connected to power if any
guards are removed. 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
installed/adjusted before resuming regular
operations.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull or

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

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed

table too high can cause workpiece to hit
table or get stuck while feeding. Setting
outfeed table too low may cause workpiece
to rock or shift while feeding. Both results
will increase risk of kickback. Always keep
outfeed table even with knives/inserts at
highest point during rotation.

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or kickback

may result from using improper workpieces.
Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece
before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of
nails, staples, loose knots or other foreign
material.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of

kickback, never cut deeper than

1

⁄8".

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or

end grain can increase the risk of kickback.
It also requires more cutting force, which
produces chatter or excessive chip out.
Always joint or surface plane with the grain.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting workpieces

that do not meet minimum dimension
requirements can result in kickback or
accidental contact with cutterhead. Never
perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts
on pieces smaller than specified in data sheet.

PUSH BLOCKS. Push blocks reduce risk of

accidental cutterhead contact with hands.
Always use push blocks when planing
materials less than 3" high or wide. Never
pass your hands directly over cutterhead
without a push block.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Poor workpiece support

or loss of workpiece control while feeding
will increase risk of kickback or accidental
contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece
with fence continuously during operation.
Support long stock with auxiliary table if
necessary.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or

accidental cutterhead contact may result if
workpiece is fed into cutterhead the wrong
way. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed
before feeding. Never start jointer with
workpiece touching cutterhead. Always feed
workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side
without stopping until cut is complete. Never
move workpiece backwards while feeding.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or

improperly set inserts can be thrown from
cutterhead with dangerous force. Always
verify knives/inserts are secure and properly
adjusted before operation. Straight knives
should never project more than
from cutterhead body.

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

This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.

The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!

The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is
to be an instructional guide.

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 a typical operation with the jointer, the
operator does the following:

1. Examines workpiece to verify it is safe and suitable

for cutting.

Adjusts fence for width of workpiece and locks it in

2.

place.

Adjusts fence tilt, if necessary.

3.

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

pass.

Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and any other

5.

required protective equipment.

Starts jointer.

6.

7. Using push blocks as needed, holds workpiece firmly

against infeed table and fence, and feeds workpiece
into cutterhead at a steady and controlled rate until
entire length of workpiece has been cut and it clears
the cutterhead on the outfeed table side.

Repeats cutting process described above until

8.

desired results are achieved.

Stops jointer.

9.

-27-

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

If you are an inexperienced operator,
we strongly recommend that you read
books or trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced operator of this
type of machinery before performing
unfamiliar operations. Above all, safety

must come first!

OPERATIONS

Model W1857/W1858 (For Machines Mfd. Since 01/21)

/4" Min.

/4" Min.

Stock Inspection

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.

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

• 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 below).

Note: If the grain changes direction along

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

Stock Inspection

Stock Inspection Requirements

• Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
jointing. Glue deposits on the workpiece,
hard or soft, will gum up the cutterhead
and produce poor results.

• 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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

designed for cutting natural wood stock.
Never use it to cut MDF, particle board,
plywood, laminates, drywall, backer board,
metals, glass, stone, tile, products with
lead-based paint, or products that contain
asbestos. Cutting these may lead to injury
or machine damage.

Make sure your workpiece exceeds the
minimum dimension requirement shown
below, before processing it through the
jointer, or the workpiece may break or kick
back during the operation.

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock means making it flat and parallel along
both length and width, and making the length and width
perpendicular to one another.

The purpose of squaring stock is to prepare it for accurate
cuts and construction later on.

A properly "squared up" workpiece is essential for tasks
such as accurate table saw cuts, glue-ups/laminations,
cutting accurate bevels on a bandsaw, and many other
applications where one surface of a workpiece is used to
reference another.

Bevel Cutting

Bevel cuts (see Figure 29) 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.

Rabbet Cutting

A rabbet cut removes a portion of a workpiece edge, so
it fits together with an opposing, equally sized rabbet
cut on another workpiece (see
classic method of joining two workpieces that is simple,
yet strong.

This jointer can be used to make high-quality rabbet cuts,
but there are some situations—whether it is due to an
excessively large/small workpiece size or rabbet cutting
width/depth—when it will not be safe or appropriate for
making the rabbet cut on this jointer. In these cases, you
need to use another tool or method for rabbet cutting
that will be a safer alternative.

Rabbet Joints

A rabbet cut can alternatively be made using a table saw,
router, or even a hand saw. As with any type of cutting
operation, always consider your safety first and use good
judgement!

Typically, rabbet cutting with a jointer requires
the cutterhead guard to be removed first, so the
workpiece can slide along the rabbeting ledge during
the cut. However, it is possible to make rabbet cuts
with workpieces up to 1" thick without removing the
cutterhead guard. This is done by performing the rabbet
cut with the workpiece on end (similar to when you are
edge jointing).

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 outfeed table and cutterhead
knives/inserts at top dead center (TDC).

D4501—8" Indexable Spiral Cutterhead

Spiral cutterhead upgrade for Model W1857. Spiral cutterheads with
indexable carbide inserts provide a number of advantages over
traditional straight-knife cutterheads. Carbide inserts stay sharp up to
10 times longer than regular HSS knives and each insert features four
separate sharpened edges, so there's far less overall down time from
changing/adjusting knives. When the inserts do finally get dull, simply
rotate each one 90° to expose another set of factory-sharp cutting
edges. And since the inserts are indexable, they are automatically set
to the perfect height when installed—meaning no more time spent
fussing with a knife-setting jig. Best of all, spiral cutterheads leave a
smoother surface, especially when surfacing wood with figured grain.

MAINTENANCE

General

For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.

Ongoing

To maintain a low risk of injury and proper machine
operation, if you ever observe any of the items below,
shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem
before continuing operations:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Dust or debris on and around machine.

• Dull or damaged cutterhead knives/inserts.

• Unprotected cast-iron surfaces.

• Worn or damaged wires.

• Any other unsafe condition.

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

Monthly Check

• Clean and lubricate table ways, leadscrews, and

fence pivot points (

• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside stand and off

of motor.

Page 40).

Cleaning & Protecting

Cleaning the Model W1857/W1858 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
rust-free with regular applications of quality lubricants.

MAINTENANCE

-39-

Model W1857/W1858 (For Machines Mfd. Since 01/21)

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.

General

Setting/Replacing Knives

Inspecting Knives

(W1857)

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.

The cutterhead on this jointer comes with both jack
screws and springs for setting knife height. Which one
you choose is a matter of personal preference. However,
only one of these options is needed to set the knives.
The advantage of using springs is that springs maintain a
constant upward pressure on the knives while using the
knife-setting jig. The advantage of using jack screws is
that once you set the proper height of the screws, they
should require little to no adjustment when replacing
knives.

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 be a matter of personal
preference. For best results, the tables must be parallel
with each other (refer to
Parallelism) and the outfeed table height must be
properly set (refer to

Checking/Adjusting Table

Setting Outfeed Table Height).

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

Straightedge Method

A high quality straightedge (or Jointer Pal) is held flat
against the outfeed table and the 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
Page 50 for this method to work correctly.

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 perfectly 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-setting jig
included with the jointer is designed to set all the knives
evenly and at the correct height in the cutterhead.

Checking/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.

Checking Adjusting Table Parallelism

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

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.

— 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.

To help ensure safe operation and best cutting results,
set the outfeed table height level with the knives/inserts
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 chance

Checking/Adjusting

Cutterhead Guard

The cutterhead guard is designed to reduce the risk of
accidental contact with hands or fingers with the spinning
cutterhead. When properly installed and functioning
correctly, the guard automatically rotates clear of the
cutterhead during the cutting operation and then springs
back over the cutterhead as soon as the operation is
complete.

In order to function as intended, the guard must be
installed as low as possible over the infeed table without
actually touching it, and it must have enough spring
tension at the mounting shaft to quickly reposition
itself against the fence after it is rotated away from the
cutterhead and released. Before performing rabbeting
operation, adjust guard height to just clear outfeed table.

Adjusting Cutterhead Guard

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety
feature of this jointer. You MUST install
and verify its operation before using the
jointer! Failure to properly install this
guard will greatly increase the risk of
serious personal injury.

To check/adjust cutterhead guard for proper operation,
do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Set fence to 90° and move it all the way back, then

pull cutterhead guard (see

— If cutterhead guard springs back over cutterhead,
