G0675 10" Jointer/Planer Combo Machine
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is
to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see
Figures 32 –34) to prepare it for thickness planing
on the planer.
To surface plane on the jointer:
1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY,
beginning on Page 6.
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection & Requirements instruc-
tions, beginning on Page 24.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest
1
⁄32" for surface planing, using a more
shallow depth for hard wood species or for
wide stock.)
4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set the depth of cut to 0", and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as
described. This procedure will better pre-
pare you for the actual operation.

5. Adjust the blade guard for the workpiece
thickness.
— If the workpiece is less than or equal to 3"
thick, adjust the guard so it touches the
fence and is just above the workpiece—
allowing the workpiece to move freely (see
Figure 33). Tighten the blade guard lock
knob.
— If the workpiece is greater than 3" thick,
adjust the blade guard
3
⁄8" to
1
⁄2" away from
the workpiece (see Figure 34), lower the
guard to its lowest position (about
3
⁄4" over
the cutterhead) then tighten the blade
guard lock knob.
