ASSEMBLING THE LEVELING FEET
See Figure 13.
n
Turn the base upside down.
n Locate the following:
Rubber Leveling Feet (4)
Flat Washer (8), 3/8 in.
Hex Nut (8), 3/8 in.
n
Thread a 3/8 in. nut onto each of the leveling feet until
the nut is 1/2 in. from the foot. Do this for all four feet.
n Attach the leveling feet as shown. Place a 3/8 in. washer
on the bottom side of the foot mount tab and a washer
on top. Bolt the feet in place with the other 3/8 in. nut.
Tighten the nuts down with a wrench.
NOTE: Once the jointer is in its permanent location the
leveling feet may need to be adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE LEVELING FEET
Move the jointer/planer to the location where it will reside
during use.
To level the cabinet, loosen the nut and adjust leveling feet
up or down as needed. Adjust all four leveling feet if neces-
sary and then retighten the nut.
NOTE: These levelers are not intended for height adjustment,
only leveling adjustment.
MOUNTING THE MOTOR
See Figure 14.
n
Turn the cabinet upside down and place one 4 x 4 block
under the right side of the cabinet so the base is tilted
as shown. This will elevate the motor mount so it is level
with the floor making assembly easier.
n Locate the following:
Carriage Head Bolts (4), 5/16-18 x 1/2 in.
Serrated Flange Hex Nuts (4), 5/16 in.
Motor and Switch Assembly (1)
NOTE: This motor is heavy; additional help may be needed
to secure nuts and bolts in place.
n Place the motor on the motor mount as shown. Make
sure the motor shaft faces the rear of the cabinet (away
from the side with RIDGID label).
n Bolt the motor to the motor mount using the 5/16 in. car-
riage head bolts and 5/16 in. serrated flange hex nuts.
The bolts should be placed through the motor mount into
the motor bracket as shown. Do not tighten the nuts at
this time.
NOTE: Do not assemble the switch at this time or thread
cord through cabinet.
