Operation
Important: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use
scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get
the feel of operations before attempting regular
work.
Stabilize long workpieces by using an assistant, or
roller stands set level with the outfeed or infeed
table surface.
The fence should be adjusted to create minimum
exposure to the cutterhead during the jointing
operation.

Check the following before operating the jointer:
Outfeed table must be set level with the high
point of the knives.
Fence adjusted for minimum exposure of
cutterhead, and locked at desired angle.
The cutterhead guard must be in place and
operating properly (except when rabbeting).
Infeed table set for desired depth of cut.
Stand away from the cutterhead and turn the
machine on for a few moments. Listen for any
odd noises, rubbings, vibrations, etc. Correct
such problems before attempting operations on
the jointer.
Carefully check your workpiece for knots, holes,
staples or any foreign material that might
damage knives or pose a risk of kickback. Also
check the workpiece for grain orientation.
