The function of the jointer is to surface plane at, one side

or edge of a board/workpiece.

To use the jointer:

1. The chip ejection hood should be positioned under the

jointer’s outfeed table, inside of the planer’s cativy.

2. Connect your Dust Collector Hose to the Dust Port,

then raise the planer bed to secure the chip ejection hood

in position for jointing. FIG. 34.

It is extremely important that a dust

collection system is used with this planer to eliminate

harmful airborne dust, prevent the build-up of chips that

may jam the roller system in the cutterhead, and to keep

the working area clean of debris.

NOTE: Workpiece dimensions for jointing:

- Length: use a push stick to feed boards shorter

than 12” ; for lumber over 60” use support rollers.

- Width: maximum 10”.

- Thickness: minimum 1/4”. The use of push blocks is

necessary when face planing thin material.

- Depth of Cut: maximum 1/8”. Multiple cuts of 1/16”

or less, produce better finish results

Place the workpiece on top of the right, infeed table.

- The workpiece will be cut on its underside by the

rotating cutterhead knives.

- When jointing, the feeding direction of the workpiece is

right-to-left over the cutterhead. FIG. 33.

1. Assume the proper operating position: stand to the

side of the infeed table with feet apart for stability

through the whole cutting process. FIG. 33.

2. Set the jointer fence position and angle as required.

3. Set the depth of cut / thickness.

4. Place the workpiece against the jointer fence for

support through the cutting action. FIG. 35.

5. Adjust the cutterhead guard for user protection.
