Squaring Stock
Before turning the jointer ON, make sure the
outfeed table height is properly set (refer to
Page 19 for detailed instructions) to avoid
workpiece kickback and to ensure good
results. Kickback of the workpiece could
cause serious personal injury!
Squaring stock involves four steps performed
in the following order:
1. Surface Plane on the Jointer:

2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer:

3. Edge Joint on the Jointer:

4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw:

Making adjustments to the jointer while the
machine is ON greatly increases the risk to
the operator from the rotating cutterhead.
ALWAYS make sure the jointer is OFF and
disconnected from power before performing
adjustments, maintenance, or service on the
machine!
