ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS
"Gibs" are provided to take up all play between the mating
dovetail ways of the base and the infeed and outfeed
tables. The "gib" for the infeed table is shown at (A) Fig.
46, and the "gib" for the outfeed table is shown at (B) Fig.
47. Proper "gib" adjustment is necessary for the correct
func tion ing of the jointer. The "gibs" were adjusted at
the factory and should require no further adjustment. If
it becomes necessary to adjust the "gibs", proceed as
follows:
1. To adjust the infeed or outfeed table "gibs," loosen
three locknuts (F) Fig. 46, for the infeed table or two
locknuts (G) Fig. 47, for the outfeed table.
For the infeed table, make sure the table
locking lever is loose. For the outfeed
table, make sure the table locking screw (E)
Fig. 47, is loose.
2. Tighten or loosen three gib adjustment screws (C)
Fig. 46, as necessary for the infeed table or two gib
adjustment screws (D) Fig. 47, as necessary for the
outfeed table; starting with the lower screw first and
as you proceed to the top screw, gently raise the
outboard edge of the table that is being adjusted.
This will offset any ten den cy for the table casting to
"droop or sag" and permit the gib to be adjusted to a
secure fit. After the gibs have been adjusted, tighten
locknuts (F) Fig. 46, (G) Fig. 47, table locking screw
(E) Fig. 47, and infeed table locking lever.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the adjusting screws too loose.
It should take a little bit of effort to move the tables up
or down. Jointers are finishing machines and you can’t
expect proper accuracy or finish if the tables are not set
properly.
FENCE OPERATION
The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt
45 degrees right or left at any position on the table as
follows:
1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock
handle (A) Fig. 48, slide fence to the desired position
on the table and tighten lockhandle (A). As the fence
is moved across the table, the rear cutterhead guard
(B) covers and guards the cutterhead in back of the
fence. NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and
can be repositioned by pulling up on the handle
and repositioning it on the serrated nut located
underneath the hub of the handle.
2. To tilt the fence to the right or left loosen lock
handle (C) Fig. 49, and pull out and turn plunger
(D) to release the positive stop. A tilting lever (E) is
provided on the back of the fence to assist in tilting
the fence. NOTE: Lock handle (C) is spring-loaded
and can be repositioned by pulling out the handle
and repositioning it on the serrated nut located
underneath the hub of the handle.
3. Tilt the fence to the desired angle, in or out, and
tighten lock handle (C) Fig. 49. IMPORTANT: When
cutting bevels and the angle is small there is little
difference whether the fence is tilted in or out;
however, at angles approaching 45 degrees it may
become difficult to hold the work securely against
the fence when the fence is tilted out. In these cases
we suggest that the fence be tilted toward the table,
as shown in Fig. 49. The fence will form a V-shape
with the tables and the work is easily pressed into the
pocket while passing across the knives.
