ADJUSTMENTS

TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

The infeed and outfeed tables are preset at the 

factory to be aligned with the cutterhead. To ensure 

that both tables are aligned, check both table settings 

and adjust as necessary.

                               This procedure involves close 

contact with the jointer blades. Wear gloves to prevent 

injury to the hands. Make sure that the machine is 

disconnected from the power supply.

1. Set the infeed table to the ‘0’ setting on its depth of 

cut scale.

2

.  Rotate the cutterhead so that the knife inserts are 

at their highest point.

To rotate the cutterhead and keep it from moving 

while working on the tables, use the supplied hex 

wrench and insert it into the end of the cutterhead 

shaft that faces the front of the machine, under the 

guard’s front tab. The cutterhead can then be safely 

rotated and positioned. See FIG. 22 on page 15.

3.  With a long metal straight edge, place it length-

wise along the outfeed table so that it extends onto 

the insert cutter at its highest rotation point. Check the 

measurement on the insert cutter to the far right and 

then far left on the cutterhead. FIG. 24.

4. If the table does not touch the insert cutter(s), it will 

need to be adjusted.
A.  Use a hex wrench to loosen and remove the hex 

bolt on that is countersunk on the table surface. This 

will reveal a washer and slotted, table height adjust-

ment screw under the hex bolt. FIG. 25.
B.  Use a slotted screwdriver to adjust the outfeed 

table until it is parallel with the edge of the cutter(s). 

FIG. 26.

NOTE:

 The adjustment should be less than 1/20th 

turn each time. Turning clockwise will lift up the table, 

turning counterclockwise will lower the table.
C.  Once the table is set, return the washer and 

reinstall the hex bolt back to secure the table in its 

new setting. 

THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE 

PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN 
THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE 
COMPLETE.
