CHECK DEPTH OF CUT
a. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table extending over the infeed
table.
b. Measure from the surface of the infeed table to the bottom of the
straight edge. This will be the depth of cut.
NOTE: This Jointer-Planer will nnake a maximum 1/8" deep cut. To reduce
THE DANGER of kickback and possible injury, the depth of cut should not
exceed 1/16" when cutting wood wider than 1-1/2".

UNPLUGGED BEFORE PERFORMING THIS CHECK.

FENCE ADJUSTMENT
The fence can be adjusted to cut angles from 0° to 45°. Stop pins
allow automatic setting to 0°, 22Vz °, 30° or 45° in either the Inboard
or outboard direction.
TO ADJUST: Loosen fence lock knobs and lift the stop pins out and
turn to lock out. Move the fence to the desired angle. If It Is one of the
commonly used angles listed above, release the stop pins and they
will pop into place when the correct angle Is reached. Tighten the
fence lock knobs to lock the fence in place. For a less common angle
or to fine tune to an angle less than the 5° divisions on the fence seg­
ment. Pull and lock out the stop pins and use the 0° to 5° scale on the
tilt indicator to set the exact angle desired.
1. FOR OUTBOARD TILT add the reading on the tilt indicator to the
reading on the fence segment,
2. FOR INBOARD TILT subtract the tilt Indicator reading from the
reading on the fence segment. Always tighten the lock knobs to
maintain the desired setting.
CUTTER GUARD
The cutter guard provides protection over the cutler head. It must
always be in place and functioning properly.
Check the guard to make sure it is functioning properly.
Pass a 1/4" thick piece of wood over the cutter head between the
guard and fence. The guard must return automatically.
Open the cutter guard all the way until it stops and release
it several times. It should always return to its original
position.
