ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: 

 The jointer’s depth of cut can be set by using the 

various lines on the scale. The top line is zero and the 

bottom line indicates a 1/8” (3mm) cut. It is not advised to 

take the deepest cut. Taking multiple cuts of 1/16” or less 

produce better finish results, and be much easier on the 

machine.
2.  To increase or decrease the depth of cut, simply rotate 

the infeed adjustment knob. FIG. 16.

OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENT

Check the Outfeed Table to ensure that it is aligned 

with the cutterhead and infeed table. Make adjustments 

to the outfeed table as follows;

                               This procedure involves close contact 

with the planer blades. Wear gloves to prevent injury to the 

hands. Make sure that the machine is disconnected from 

the power supply.
In order to accurately set the machine, it is first necessary 

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

scale (see Infeed Table Adjustment above, FIG. 15).
2.  Rotate the cutterhead so that the planer blades do not 

interfere with the measurements that will be taken.

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

along the outfeed table so that it extends onto the infeed 

table. The straight edge should lie level across BOTH

tables. FIG. 17. They should be set at the same height and 

perfectly level to each other. 

  -  If it does, the tables are true to each other.

  -  If the straight edge does not lie flat across both tables, 

then the tables must be adjusted. Tune the outfeed table, 

as the infeed table was factory set to the cutterhead.

3. Adjust the ANGLE and tilt of the outfeed table with the 

hex Guide Screws (#160) located on the rear areas on both 

of the Guide Rails (#159 ,161). FIG. 18.

FIG. 15

INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENT

The Infeed Table is preset at the factory to be aligned with 

the cutterhead. To ensure that both the infeed and outfeed 

jointer tables are aligned, check both table settings and 

adjust the outfeed table as necessary.

1.  The infeed table should be set to the upper line on the 

Depth Scale. There is a thin Line cut into the metal side of 

the infeed table for indicating the table position with the cut-

terhead for regulating the depth of cut. FIG. 15.
