DUST PORT ASSEMBLY

A Dust Port (A) is supplied with the jointer to help 

connect it to a standard 2-1/2 inch vacuum hose.

1. Tighten the two upper Screws (B) with a 4 mm hex 

wrench, and tighten the two lower Screws (C) with a 

Phillips screwdriver when the dust port is in proper 

location. FIG. 9.

NOTE:

It is extremely important that a dust collection 

system is used with this jointer to eliminate harmful 

airborne dust, prevent the build-up of chips that may 

jam the cutterhead, and to keep the working area 

clean of debris. Make sure all connections are secure 

and your dust collector is turned on before any milling 

of lumber is done.

However, if you do not plan to use a dust collector, 

then there is no need to attach this dust port to the 

jointer. Chips ejected from the operating machine 

should be collected and disposed of immediately to 

keep the area clean and to avoid accidents.

TABLE ADJUSTMENT KNOB ASSEMBLY

Attach the infeed table’s Adjustment Knob (A) to the 

jointer by tightening the hex nut (B) with a 10 mm and 

13mm open end wrenches. FIG. 10.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY

The jointer is turned on by flipping the switch into the 

up position, and it is turned off by flipping the switch in 

the down position. 

This jointer is also equipped with a special lockout

toggle switch that prevents unauthorized use. To 

prevent unauthorized use of the jointer, simply pull out 

the yellow key (A) located on the face of the switch.

CAUTION:

 DO NOT continuously use the jointer at 

the maximum depth of cut, 1/8 in. (3mm), as it will put 

excessive stress on the motor which will damage it.

                             Before turning on the machine, review the safety precautions 

listed on pages 3 to 6. Make sure that you fully understand the features, adjustments 

and capabilities of the machine that are outlined throughout this manual.

THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE 

PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN
