ADJUSTMENTS

JOINTER FENCE ADJUSTMENT

The jointer fence provides lateral support for the workpiece

when surface planing.
1. After loosening the Locking Handle (#292, FIG.7, A),

the jointer fence can be moved forward or backwards over

the jointer bed and cutterhead, to match the workpiece

width.
2. The jointer fence can be tilted to any angle between

90°- 45°. To adjust the fence angle, loosen the ratchet

Locking Handle (#291, B) and Pin Stop Knob (#288, C).
3. Tilt the fence to the angle desired, then re-tighten

the locking handle (B) to ensure the fence is securely in

position. The pin stop knob only secures the fence in the

90° position, so is not active when the fence is set at an

angle.

SETTING THE FENCE TO 90° & 45°

4. To set the fence at 90° to the table surface, set a try

square (FIG. 8, D) against the fence extrusion (E).
5. Lightly loosen the three Hex Bolts (#294, F) on the

base of the Sliding Bracket (#293, G), and adjust the Set

Screws (#152, H) until the fence is square with the jointer

table. Adjust the set screws in pairs, with the same amount

of rotations. The two forward set screws will tilt the fence

slightly backwards, and the two rear set screws will tilt the

fence forward.
6. When the fence extrusion is exactly 90°, tighten the

hex bolts to secure the fence assembly in position.
7. To set the fence at exactly 45° backwards, set a miter

square (FIG. 9, H) against the fence extrusion. This angle

is actually 135° from the jointer table.
8. There are two Hex Bolts (#302, FIG 9, I) at the bottom

of the Fence Bracket (#283, J) that touch the table when

at the 45° setting. Ajust the hex bolts until the fence

extrusion is exactly set at 45°, then secure the bolts in

position with their Hex Nuts (#301).

INFEED TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The jointer's Infeed Table (#92, FIG. 10, K) is adjusted up

and down by using the adjusting Lever (L). This regulates

the cutting depth for edge jointing and surface planing.
1. Loosen the Locking Handle (#105, M).
2. Move the Lever (L) to raise or lower the table. The

Scale (#341, N), located next to the adjusting lever,

corresponds to the depth of cut - how much material is

being removed - from 0" to 1/8".
3. After adjustment to the table height that you desire,

tighten the locking handle to secure the table in position.
NOTE: Never make cuts deeper than 1/8”. Multiple cuts,

1/16" or less, produce better finish results.
