Figure 7
Dust Hood
Mount the dust hood (C, Figure 8), to the left side
of the jointer using the seven 1/4-20 x 1/2 screws
(D, Figure 8) provided on the machine. Before
mounting the dust hood, make sure the hole in the
base is covered by the dust chute cover (shown in
Figure 5).
It is recommended a dust collection system of
appropriate size (at least 800 CFM) be connected
to the dust outlet via a 6" diameter hose.

Start/Stop Switch
The arm (E, Figure 9) on which the pushbutton
switch is located is shipped in the down position.
The screws (F, Figure 9) should be loosened with a
10mm hex wrench and the arm pivoted to upright
position. Re-tighten screws.

Electrical Connection
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician. The machine
must be properly grounded to help avoid
electric shock and possible death.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the electrical
characteristics are the same between the motor
nameplate and the power source, and make sure
the circuit on which the jointer will be used is
properly fused and that the wire size is correct.
It is recommended that the jointer when operated
at 230 volts, be connected to a dedicated,
minimum 40 amp circuit with a 40 amp circuit
breaker or time delay fuse. When operated at 460
volts, connect the jointer to a dedicated, minimum
20 amp circuit with 20 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
1. Connect wires from the power source to the
motor junction box. Refer to diagram inside the
motor junction box cover (a similar diagram
appears at the back of this manual). The green
wire (ground) must be properly grounded.
2. After wiring is complete, turn motor on
momentarily to check for proper direction of
rotation (cutterhead should rotate toward
infeed table). If rotation is in the wrong
direction, disconnect machine and switch any
two of the hot leads. Reconnect power and
confirm proper rotation.
3. Run the machine without cutting for a short
time to check that all powered functions are
operating properly.
460VConversion
The Jointer is pre-wired for 230 volt operation. If
460 volt operation is required, proceed as follows:
1. Re-connect the motor leads according to the
wiring diagram.
