ASSEMBLY
JOINTER FENCE INSTALLATION
For shipping purposes, the Sliding Fence Bracket (#293)
is installed incorrectly, backwards, extending above the
table surface. FIG. 3, A. This bracket must be reversed
before installing the fence.
WARNING: When working on, or near the machine's bed,
avoid the risk of personal injury by cuts that may result
from touching the knife inserts' sharp edges!
1. Remove the Hex Bolts (#294) that attach the bracket
to the table casting, and turn the bracket around 180
degrees. See FIG. 4 for the correct position for the
bracket.
2. Attach the bracket in place with the three hex bolts and
washers.
3. Locate the Locking Handle and Washer (#292, 246)
from the loose parts bag, and install the handle onto the
sliding fence bracket as shown in FIG. 4, B.
4. The Jointer Fence has been pre-assembled for
shipping. Slide the fence Guide Rail (#300) into the fence
bracket through the hole, and lock it in place with the
handle. FIG. 5.
The Fence Assembly includes a 6" x 43" extruded
aluminum fence, angle adjustment mechanism, angle
scale, and safety cutterhead guard. See page 10 for
information on adjusting the fence for jointing.

INSTALLING THE CUTTERHEAD GUARD
The cutterhead guard is shipped in two parts; the arm and
bracket Assembly (#360, 364) and Guard (#371). When
assembled and installed, it can be adjusted to provide
maximum protection to the user from the sharp cutterhead
insert knives. Always operate the machine with the guard
properly adjusted for the width and thickness of your stock
being jointed. Keep the guard covering the full cutterhead
when the machine is nt in use to avoid any accidents.
WARNING: When working on, or near the machine's bed,
avoid the risk of personal injury by cuts that may result
from touching the knife inserts' sharp edges!
1. Remove the two Hex Socket Screws (#132) that are
pre-installed on the front side of the outfeed table. FIG. 6.
2. Install the bracket on the end of the Cutterhead Guard
Assembly using the two of hex socket screws. Make sure
the Square Washer/plate (#384) stays between the table
and cutterhead guard bracket.
3. Insert the curved Cutterhead Guard (#371) through
the front of the guard assembly. The guard will slide back
and forth to cover the cutterhead, and can be secured in
position with the top knob.
