ADJUSTMENTS
JOINTER FENCE ADJUSTMENT
The jointer fence provides lateral support for the workpiece
when surface planing.
1. After loosening the Locking Handles (#259, FIG.7, A),
the jointer fence can be moved forward or backwards over
the jointer bed and cutterhead, to match the workpiece
width.
2. The jointer fence can be tilted to any angle between
90° (0°) to 45° (135°). To adjust the fence angle, loosen
the large Locking Handle (#256, B) by pulling it up. The
Angle Scale (#258, C) will give the approximate angle of
fence tilt. For setting precise angles, a calibrated gauge
should also be used to set the fence.
3. Tilt the fence to the angle desired, then re-tighten the
locking handle (B), by pushing it down, to ensure the fence
is securely in position.

SETTING THE FENCE TO 90° & 45°
4. To set the fence at 90° to the table surface, set a try
square (FIG. 8, D) against the fence extrusion (E).
5. Lightly loosen the two Hex Bolts (#263, F) on the rear
of the curved Arm Supports (#252 & 264, G). Adjust the
hex bolts until the fence is square with the jointer table.
6. When the fence extrusion is exactly 90°, tighten the
bolt's hex Nuts (#253) to secure the fence in position.
In the future when the angle is changed, the fence will
always set itself at 90° when it tilts up and engages the
two set Hex Bolts.
7. To set the fence at exactly 45°, set a miter square
(FIG. 9, H) against the fence extrusion. NOTE: This angle
is actually 135° from the jointer table.
8. There are two Hex Screws (#257, FIG 9, I) mounted
through the vertical sides of the Support Plate (#265,J).
These screws touch the rear of the Support Arms (#252 &
264) when the fence is at the 45° setting. Adjust the hex
screws until the fence extrusion is exactly set at 45°, then
secure the bolts in position with their Cap Nuts.
INFEED TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The jointer's Infeed Table (#114, FIG. 10, K) is adjusted up
and down by using the adjusting Lever (L). This regulates
the cutting depth for edge jointing and surface planing.
1. Move the Lever (#103, L) to raise or lower the table.
2. The Scale (M), located next to the adjusting lever,
corresponds to the depth of cut - how much material is
being removed - from 0" to 1/8".
NOTE:
Never make cuts deeper than 1/8”. Multiple cuts,
1/16" or less, produce better finish results.
