G0612 6" Jointer
Checking Outfeed
Table Alignment
The outfeed table MUST be level with the knives
when they are at top dead center (their highest
point during rotation) or the workpiece cannot be
fed across the jointer safely.
To check the outfeed table alignment:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE
!
2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it
extends over the cutterhead
. For best results,
use a straightedge that will stand on edge
without having to be held in place.
3. Rotate the cutterhead under the straightedge,
as illustrated in
Figure 16.
Figure 16. Illustration of a typical cutterhead
alighnment setup.
—If your cutterhead knives brush the straigh
edge and move it slightly (
1
/8") forward and
back when you turn the cutterhead, then no
adjustments are necessary.
—If the knives fall below the straightedge
and do not move it, or if the knives lift the
straightedge and move it more than
1
/8", the
knives must be adjusted.
To adjust the height of the cutterhead knives:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Block the cutterhead guard back so the
cutterhead is fully exposed.
3. Locate the knife clamp screws and knife
adjustment jack screws (see
Figures 17 &
18).
Note: You will perform the procedure in
Steps 1-8 for each of the two knives.
