CAUTION!
9. Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood.
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
10. Never perform jointing, planning, or rabbeting cuts on
pieces shorter than 8 inches in length.
The AC motor used in this jointer is a universal,
nonreversible type. See “MOTOR” in the “PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 2.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection. Your jointer is wired at
the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp
circuit and use a 15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
11. Never make jointing, planning, or rabbeting cut deeper
than 3/8 inch.
12. Always keep cutter head and drive guards and blade
guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do
not remove guard for rabbeting operations.
13. Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
the nameplate voltage rating. For heavy loads, the
voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage
specified on the nameplate.
c)DULL jointer knives are used.
4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage or inadequate power
supply wiring. Always check the connections, the load and
supply circuit if the motor doesn’t run well. Check
minimum gauge for the length of extension cord you are
using on the chart below.
DOUBLE INSULATED
The power tool is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and tool’s electrical
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal
metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Replacement parts – When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
Polarized plugs – This tool has a plug that looks like the one
shown below:
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this tool has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp
or wet areas.
CAUTION!
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a
tool with double insulation. Servicing should be performed
by a qualified technician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or
expose them to rain or snow.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than # 12 wire and should be protected with
a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the tool to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and
the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor nameplate, running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT:
To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown out or
vacuumed frequently to keep woodchips from interfering
with the motor ventilation.
1. CONNECT this tool to a 120V, 15 amp. circuit with a 15
amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong
size fuse can damage the motor.
2. If the motor won’t start, UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check
the cutter head to make sure it turns freely. If it is free, try
to start the machine again. If the motor still does not start,
refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”
3. FUSES may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if:
a)MOTOR is overloaded – overloading can occur if you
feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short
time.
b)LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below
more than not more than
0

Basic Jointer / Planer Operations
Jointer / planer is used to surface the faces and edges of boards,
produce a flat surface on warped boards and shape bevels, chamfers
and tapers. The jointer / planner features cast aluminum infeed and
outfeed tables, lightweight plastic body with smooth work surfaces
and guide fence tilts 45°(inward) and 45°(outward).
Jointer-Jointing is a surfacing operation in which a small amount of
wood is removed from the edges and faces of boards to get smooth,
straight and even surfaces such that the two edges that run across
the planning blocks would fit together perfectly, forming a seamless
joint.
Planer-planning refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness
while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite size of the
2
12
OPERATION
Blade guard
The blade guard provides protection over the cutter head. It must
always be in place and function properly. Check the guard to make
sure it functions properly. To check:
1. Pass a ¼” thick piece of wood over the cutter head between the
guard and the fence. The guard will open and leave way for the
wood to pass. The guard must return to the original position
automatically when the wood passes through.
2. Open the blade guard all the way until it stops, and release it
several times. It should always return to its original position.
CAUTION: If the blade guard fails to operate properly, the
spring must be replaced or adjusted.

Fig. 17
To replace spring, contact technical support. To adjust or to
assemble spring, see “ Adjusting Blade Guard”.
FEED
With the grain
Avoid Damage to Blades
Jointer / Planer is a precision woodworking machine and should
only be used on quality timber. Using bad timber could result in a
poor quality cut on subsequent pieces. For proper operation, it is
preferable to use the jointer with a dust collecting system attached
to the exhaust port in the rear of the jointer. Attaching a dust
collecting system is especially beneficial when taking deeper cuts to
prevent clogging of wood chips.
1. Do not use dirty boards. Dirt and stones are abrasive and will
wear blades.
2. Remove nails and staples.
3. Avoid knots. Caution: When passing over knots, workpiece
can separate causing a dangerous condition.
4. Assess value of badly warped boards. Operator can be tempted
to use too deep of cut to square boards quickly. Use several
passes to maintain a level surface.
FEED
Against the grain
Using Push Blocks (Fig. 18)
1. Always use push-blocks when jointing.
2. Grasp the push-blocks flat on top of workpiece and push the
workpiece down against the table.
3. Use a hand-over-hand motion to maintain control over the
workpiece at all times.
4. When planning workpiece between 1/2” – 3/4” and narrower
than the push-blocks, tilt the push-blocks so that it clears the
cutter head guard while feeding.
Fig. 18
Feeding Workpiece (Fig. 16, 17)
Feed rate refers to rate at which wood is passed over blades. An
even feed will produce a uniform service. To feed workpiece:
1. Hold the board firmly down on both tables and against the
fence.
2. Use push blocks.
3. Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed. Any
hesitation or stopping could cause a “step” to be cut on the
edge of the board.
4. As the trailing hand passes over the cutter head, remove the
leading push-block.
5. Continue feeding while placing the leading block behind the
trailing block until the entire length of the board is cut.
6. Feed with the grain whenever possible.
7. If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be fed
against the grain, take very light cuts and feed slowly.
8. When using long workpieces, to avoid injury from slips or
kickbacks and to exert even pressure on the cutter head, use
extra supports at both infeed and outfeed ends.

OPERATION
Beveling And Chamfering (Fig. 19)
1. The fence on the jointer / planer is adjustable from 45 °inward
to 45° outward. Adjust the fence to the desired angle and
tighten fence lock knobs.
2. Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board at an angle.
Beveling may require several passes due to the depth of cut
needed.
3. Chamfering refers to removing only the corner of the edge of a
board. Normally a chamfer is made on one pass; so a 1/8 inch
depth of cut is maximal.
Fig. 19
Bevel Edge
Sharpening Blades (Fig. 20)
The blades can be honed individually by whetting them with a fine
sharpening stone. Make sure oilstone is flat and is not worn. To
sharpen blades:
1. Partially cover the stone with paper to protect the table top.
2. Position infeed table so stone will contact blade along its
beveled surface.
3. Stroke the stone across blade from one side to other while
stone is also moved slightly in the direction of feed.
4. Make sure to do the same number of strokes on each place.
5. If the blades are nicked they must be replaced or reground.
They can be reground several times until they become 13/16”
wide. Never install unbalanced blades or reground blades less
than 13/16” wide.
NOTE: Many shops do not have capabilities to resurface blades.
Yellow pages should list “ Sharpening Services” or “ Tool
Grinding”.

Checking for Worn Blades
Condition of blades will affect precision of cut. If blade wear is not
observed when checking the blade height, the quality of cut will
indicate the blade condition. Dull blades will tear rather than sever
wood fiber. A raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on
wood where there is difference in density. A raised ridge will be
produced where the blades have been nicked.

MAINTENANCE
DANGER !
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.
CAUTION!
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha, acetone,
lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the
thickness planer.
CAUTION!
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, unplug
the power cord before working on the tool.
CAUTION!
For your safety, this tool is double-insulated. To avoid electrical
shock, fire or injury, use only parts identical to those identified in
the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid
electrical shock.
4. Remove old timing belt by “walking it off the pulleys”. You
rotate the belt while pulling away from the pulleys to remove.
6. Replace with new timing belt in reverse manner as described in
step 4.
7. Re-tighten the timing belt adjustment bolt (3) so there is
approximately 3/8” to ½” full belt deflection when pressed on
the center of the belt.
8. Secure belt adjustment bolt (3) into position by locking the jam
nut on the bolt into position against the table.
6. Replace the belt cover (2) and with the two bolts (1) and tighten.
NOTE: Make sure that the full width of belt is on both
pulleys.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (Fig. 21)
2
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50 hours
of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon
brushes when either has less than 1/4” length of carbon
remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To
inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the tool. Then remove
the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the
cap cautiously, because it is spring-loaded. Then pull out the
brush and replace. Replace for the other side. To reassemble
reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the
assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into. Tighten
the cap snugly, but do not over tighten.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes
go back in the way they came out. This will avoid a break-in period
that reduces motor performance and increase wear.

LUBRICATION
Motor and cutter head bearings are sealed and need no
lubrication.
Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of debris and
greased.
The tables can be coated with a lubricant such as furniture
wax, to make the workpiece feed smoother. Be sure the
lubricant used does not affect the ability to finish the
workpiece with varnish, sealer, etc. Do not use any silicone
base lubricants.
CLEAN JOINTER
Keep jointer clean of any wood chips, dust, dirt or debris.
Replacing Timing Belt (Fig. 22)
1.
Turn the switch to “OFF” position and unplug the tool
from power source.
2. Loosen and remove the two bolts (1) and belt cover (2).
3. Loosen the timing belt adjustment bolt (3) but not remove it.
