Remove the bolts holding the jointer to the
skid, and lift the machine from the skid using
a hoist. The strap should be suitable to lift
1320 pounds of weight, and should be placed
under the base casting as shown in Figure 6.
DO NOT place strap under the tables.
The jointer should be mounted to a solid,
level foundation, preferably a concrete floor.
The machine area should be clean, dry, well
ventilated and well lighted, with sufficient
space around the machine for operation and
maintenance work.
This machine is equipped with noise-reducing
table lips. The work site should, however, be
one which minimizes reverberant sound from
walls, ceilings and other equipment.
FENCE INSTALLATION
Mount the fence (A-Fig. 7) to the holes on the
jointer table with the two socket head cap
screws (B-Fig. 7), using a 10mm hex wrench.
Tighten the screws (B-Fig. 7) securely.
DUST HOOD
Mount the dust hood (C-Fig. 8), to the left
side of the jointer using the seven 1/4-20 x
1/2 screws (D-Fig. 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 Fig. 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.
