INSTALLING THE JOINTER—PLANER
If the Jointer-Planer is to be used in a permanent location, it
should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such
as a workbench. Holes should be drilled through supporting
surface of the workbench as illustrated. Each foot of the Jointer-
Planer should be bolted securely using 5/16" diameter machine
bolts, 5/16" hex nuts, and lock washers. Bolts should be of
sufficient length to accommodate foot of Jointer-Planer, washer,
hex nuts, and thickness of supporting surface. Tighten all four
bolts securely. If the Jointer-Planer is to be used in a portable
application, it is recommended that it be fastened to a rnounting
board. The board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of
Jointer-Planer while in use. Any good grade of plywood or chip­
board with a 3/4" minimum thickness is recommended. Mount
Jointer-Planer to board using hole pattern as shown. Clamp
board securely to workbench or supporting surface.
Supporting surface where Jointer-Planer is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement
during use can result. If any "tipping" or "walking" is noted,
secure workbench or supporting surface before operating.

CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS OFF AND THE CORD IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE PER­
FORMING ANY CHECKS OR ADJUSTMENTS.
1. DEPTH OF CUT HAND KNOB
Turning the hand knob clockwise raises the infeed table and
decreases the depth of cut. Turning it counter-clockwise
lowers the Infeed table and increases the depth of cut to the
maximum 1/8" depth per pass.
NOTE: When the table is lowered for the maximum 1/8"
depth cut, the hand knob will be relieved of tension and
will be loose. If this is disturbing, simply turn the hand knob
clockwise until it is again under tension. Turn the knob no
more than 1/2 turn after it is again under tension. This will
not change the depth of cut setting unless 1/2 turn is
exceeded.
