Alignments (continued)
To set the fence to 90° simply pivot the fence slightly for-
ward of 90°, flip the 90° stop bar into place and pivot the
fence back until it contacts the 90° stop and lock into
place. The fence may need to be repositioned, using the
slide lock knob, over the cutterhead to provide adequate
cutting width.
The bevel stops are set at the factory, but may have
fallen out of alignment while in transit. To check for
squareness, place the included angle gauge on the out-
feed table and check fence while locked in the 90° posi-
tion.
To ensure accuracy and repeatability of the stops,
the bottom of the outfeed side of the fence should
rest firmly against the outfeed table and against the
head of the stop screw. Make sure that the infeed table
does not interfere with the accuracy of measurement.
The infeed table should be lowered to a depth of at least
1/16". Using the stops, check the fence for accuracy. If
the fence is not square to the outfeed table, at 90°, 45°
or 135° perform the following procedure:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from acci-
dental start, make sure switch is “OFF” and plug is not
connected to power source outlet.

Safety Instructions for Basic Jointer/Planer Operation
Before Each Use
Inspect your jointer/planer.
WARNING: The 2-1/2 inch jointer/planer pulley and
the 3-1/2 inch motor pulley furnished will run the cutter
head at about 5000 RPM when used with a 3450 RPM
motor. Use of different types of pulleys or motors will
change this speed and could cause jamming, binding,
kickback, thrown blades or other dangers. To prevent
serious personal injury do not change original motor or
pulleys.
• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
always turn switch off, remove switch key and unplug
jointer/planer before installing or removing any blade,
accessory or attachment or making any adjustments.
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any
electrical part does not work properly, turn the jointer/
planer off and unplug the jointer/planer.
• Replace damaged or missing parts before using the
jointer/planer again.
• Make sure the cutter head turns in the right direction.
The top should move toward the infeed table. Call an
Authorized Service Center for help if the cutter head
turns the wrong way.
• Keep Jointer/Planer interior, free of wood chips and
