CLEANING THE JOINTER
Remove the protective coating from the machined
surfaces of the jointer. This coating may be removed
with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use
acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose).
After cleaning, cover a l l unpainted surfaces with a good
qua1ity paste wax.

OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
REAR TABLE AND KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
For accurate work in most jointing operations, the rear
table must be exactly level with the knives at their
highest point of revolution. This means, of course,
that the knives must be parallel to the table and pro-
ject equally from the cutterhead.
To check this alignment proceed as follows:
After the rear table has been set at the correct height,
i t should not be changed except for special operations
and after sharpening knives.
Fig. 12.
I
When the rear table i s too low, the condition w i l l be as
illustrated in Fig. 13. The work w i l l be gouged at the
end of the cut.

DEPTH OF CUT
The amount of material removal by a single cut can be
any thickness from a very thin shaving to 114". To
adjust for depth of cut, raise or lower the front table by
turning the hand knob (A) Fig. 15. The pointer and
scale (B) Fig. 15, indicates the amount the table has
been raised or lowered.
The pointer should point to the "0" mark on the scale
M e n the front table i s exactly level with the knives
at their highest point of revolution. I f the pointer re-
quires adjustment, loosen the slotted screw to adjust
the pointer accordingly.
Fig. 1 5 .
FENCE ADJUSTMENTS
The fence can be moved across the table and can be
tilted 45 degrees right or left at any position on the
table by means of the dual-control handle.
To move the fence across the table, pull the fence
adjusting handle away f r a n the machine until the handle
body (A) Fig. 16, engages the acorn nut (B). Loosen
the nut, move the fence to the desired position, and
retighten nut.
To t i l t fence move the fence adjusting handle in to-
wards the machine, as shown i n Fig. 16, to engage the
nut. Loosen nut and t i l t the fence to the desired angle
right or left, and retighten nut. When t i l t i n g fence to
the right, stop block (C), Fig. 16, must be moved out of
the way.
The fence on your jointer features positive stops at the
most used fence positions of 90 degrees and 45 degrees,
right and left. Check the fence with a square to make
sure the fence i s 90 degrees to the table. if an adjust-
ment i s necessary loosen set screw (D) Fig. 16, and
turn the adjusting screw (E) in or out against the stop
block (C) until the fence i s at 90 degrees to the table.
Then tighten set screw (D). Check the positive stops
at 45 degrees right and left and adjust if necessary.

WHETTING KNIVES
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. COVERED W I T H PAPER
Use a fine carborundum stone; cover i t partly with
paper as indicated in Fig. 17 to avoid marking the
table. Lay the stone on the front table, lower the table
and turn the cutter head forward until the stone lies flat
on the bevel of the knife, as shown. Hold the cutter
head from turning, and whet the bevelled edge of the
knife, stroking lengthwise by sliding the stone back and
forth across the table. Do the same amount of whetting
on each of the three blades.
WHETTING K N I V E S
SETTING KNIVES
If the knives are removed from the head for replacement
or regrinding, care must be used i n re-setting them as
follows:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Place a knife i n i t s groove so that the rear edge of
the bevel i s 1/16" from the surface of the cutterhead.
3. Slip lock-bar into place and tighten lock screws
lightly.
CUTTERHEAD REPAIRS
When the knives cannot be properly- sharpened by the
methods described above, they must be ground to a
new bevel edge. In such case, or when bearings need
replacement, remove the entire cutterhead 'with bear-
ings and housings from the base and return i t to the
factory.
Remove the nuts and washers (Item #52 and #53 of the
parts drawing) from the studs (Item #51). L i f t the
cutterhead assembly straight up and remove from the
jointer. Then remove the studs from the cutterhead.
BLADE CARE
Gum and Pitch which collects on the blades causes
excessive friction as the work continues, resulting in
over heating the blades, less efficient cutting, and con-
sequently loss of blade life. Use "Gum and Rust
Remover " to wipe this off the blades.
Fig. 19
JOINTING AN EDGE
This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set
the guide fence square with the table. Depth of cut
should be the minimum required to obtain a straight
edge. Hold the best face of the piece firmly against
the fence throughout the feed.
Fig. 20 I
\
DIRECTION OF GRAIN
Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain as
shown i n Fig. 21. The result w i l l be chipped and
splintered edges.

WRCNG FEED AGAINST THE GRAIN
Fig. 21
Fig. 2 2
The arm of the front table and ledge of the rear table
provide for cutting rabbets up to 114 inch deep and 4
inches wide. The operation i s illustrated i n Fig. 23.
The knife guard must be removed. Set the fence to con-
trol the width of rabbet, measuring from the end of the
knives t o the face of the fence. Lower the front table
to determine the depth of cut. Feed slowly when mak-
ing a deep cut, to avoid splitting the wood. For wide
cuts, make two or more passes at increasing depths.
Use a push block when rabbeting the end of narrow stock.
Fig. 23
TAPER CUTS
One of the most useful jointer operations i s cutting an
edge to a taper. The method can be used on a wide
variety of work. Tapered legs of furniture are a common
example.
Instead of laying the piece on the front table, lower the
forward end of the work onto the rear table. Do this
very carefully, as the piece w i l l span the knives, and
they w i l l take a "bite" from the work with a tendency
to kick back unless the piece i s firmly held. Now push
the work forward as in ordinary jointing. The effect is
to plane off a l l the stock i n front of the knives, to in-
crease depth, leaving a tapered surface.
The ridge left by the knives when starting the taper may
be removed by taking a very light cut according to the
regular method for jointing, with the front table raised to
i t s usual position.
Practice i s required i n this operation, and the beginner
i s advised to make trial cuts on waste material. Taper
cuts over part of the length and a number of other
special operations can easily be done by the experienced
craftsman.

IMPORTANT: Base. front and rear tables cannot be supplied separately, as the re-assembled machine would
not be accurate. For true alignment, we finish-grind our jointer tables after assembly on the base. When a
new table or base is required, ship the machine, less fence and knife guard, to the factory for rebuilding.
The cost will be the list price for the new part plus a fixed charge for assembling and grinding the tables.

NOTE: Cutterhead Repairs: Special tools are required to remove and replace ball bearings on the cutterhead.
When the bearings or cutterhead need replacement, order a complete new cutterhead assembly #37-806, a
return the old one to us for repairing for which there is nominal charge c o m i n g repair work plus a small labor
charge per bearing for installing.
Knife Sharpening Seavice: Our charge for re-grinding and setting h i v e s will be a nominal net charge per

MOTOR MOUNTING
Motors will fit on the machine stands without
the use of shim blocks. Other motors vary in height.
Whenever the distance from the motor shaft to the
bottom of the motor foot is less than 4% inches, a
shim block will be needed. Fig. 1 illustrates the use
of an easily made wooden shim block. For example,
when dimension A is 3% inches, the thickness of the
shim must be 1% inches in order to make up the
required 4% inches.
