VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Your jointer is supplied with a variable speed control
knob (A) Fig. 23, that enables you to operate the machine
at cutterhead speeds between 6000 and 11,000 RPM.
Speed indicators of 1-2-3-4 and 5 are provided on the
speed dial as shown. When the pointer (B) is pointing to
1, the cutterhead speed will be 6000 RPM; 2 – 7250
RPM; 3 – 8800 RPM; 4 – 9750 RPM; and 5 – 11,000
RPM.
SPEED CONTROL CHART
A speed control chart (C) Fig. 23, indicates the recom-
mended cutterhead speed setting when jointing plastics,
soft woods and hard woods from 1-1/2" to 6" wide.
DEPTH OF
CUT ADJUSTMENT
The jointer can be set to cut any depth from a very thin
shaving to 1/8" deep. A dual English/Metric scale (A)
Fig. 24, and pointer (B) are provided to indicate the depth
of cut. To adjust for depth of cut, loosen lock knob (C)
and turn adjusting knob (D) clockwise to lower and coun-
terclockwise to raise the infeed table. After the infeed
table is at the desired setting, tighten lock knob (C).
NOTE: For best results, final positioning of the infeed
table should always be made from the bottom to the up
position.
