21. Attach the carriage to the back of the jointer with
the M10-1.5 x 30 cap screw on the infeed side, the
M10-1.5 x 50 cap screw on the outfeed side, and two
10mm flat washers. Leave the cap screws loose for
now.
22. Place three pieces of paper on the jointer bed, slide
the top half of the carriage over the paper, and
allow it to rest on the paper, as shown in
Figure 18.
Note: The paper acts as a temporary shim for set
-
ting the carriage height, so it won't scratch the
table when the fence is moved forward during regu
-
lar operations.
23. Tighten the carriage mounting cap screws and dis-
card the paper.
24. Mount the lock handle on the carriage, as shown in
Figure 19.

Figure 20.

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature on
this machine—you MUST install and verify that it is
working as intended before using the jointer! Failure
to do this will greatly increase the chances of a seri
-
ous injury when operating the jointer.
