Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead
Model W1876 (For Machines Mfd. Since 07/24)
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.

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

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.
CORRECT
ROTATION
OUTFEED TABLE
FEED DIRECTION
INFEED TABLE
With Grain
• 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 18).
Note:If the grain changes direction along the edge
of the board, decrease the cutting depth and make
additional passes.
• Only cut natural wood. This jointer is only 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.

operation.
Edge Jointing
8" Min.
OPERATIONS
• 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.

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.
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).
Adjusting Infeed Table Height
To adjust infeed table height, loosen table height
lock knob, rotate infeed table adjustment knob
counterclockwise to raise table, or clockwise to lower
table, and then tighten table height lock knob to secure
setting (see Figure 20).

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.

Surface Planing
The purpose of surface planing (see Figure 22) 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:
Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the
1.
operation (refer to Stock Inspection on Page 21).
Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for
2.
each pass.
Model W1876 (For Machines Mfd. Since 07/24)
Failure to use push blocks when surface planing may result in cutterhead
contact, which will cause serious personal injury. Always use push blocks to
protect your hands when surface planing on the jointer.
CAUTION: To minimize risk of kickback, do not
exceed a cutting depth of
planing.
Set fence to 90°.

Edge Jointing
Edge jointing (see Figure 23) produces a flat and true
surface along the side of a workpiece by removing uneven
areas. It is an essential step for squaring up warped or
rough stock and when preparing a workpiece for joinery
or finishing.
To edge joint on jointer, do these steps:
Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the
1.
operation (refer to Stock Inspection on Page 21).

Bevel Cutting
Bevel cuts (see Figure 24) 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:
Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the
1.
operation (refer to Stock Inspection on Page 21).
Surface plane workpiece (refer to Surface Planing

MAINTENANCE
General
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine immediately
if you ever observe any of the items below, and fix the
problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged cutterhead inserts.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
• Fence positive stop accuracy.
• Belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside base and off
motor.
MAKE SURE
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
Cleaning & Protecting
Cleaning the jointer 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 aluminum 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. Wax and buff table surface to help prevent
improper feeding of workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
-27-
Page 30
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.

The spiral-style cutterhead is equipped with 2-sided
indexable inserts. Each insert can be removed, rotated,
and re-installed to use either of its two cutting edges. If
one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate
it 90° (see Figure 26) to use an adjacent sharp cutting
edge.
The inserts have a reference dot on one corner. The
position of the reference dot on installed inserts can
be used to track which edges are sharp/unused and
which edges are dull or damaged. Replace inserts once
the reference dot has been rotated back to its original

Checking/Adjusting Table
Parallelism
If the infeed and outfeed tables are not parallel with the
cutterhead and each other, then poor cutting results and
kickback can occur.
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.
The correct order for adjusting table parallelism is to first
adjust the outfeed table parallel with the cutterhead
inserts, then adjust the infeed table parallel with the
outfeed table. Each table has four leveling adjusters that
permit the table to be adjusted parallel.
The indexable inserts are very sharp
and can easily cut your hands. ALWAYS
use caution when making adjustments
near these parts to reduce risk of
personal injury.
Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs over
