BEVEL AND CHAMFER

The fence on the jointer is adjustable from 0° to 45° outward.  

Adjust the fence to the desired angle and tighten the bevel han-

dle. 

Beveling

 refers to cutting the entire edge of a  board at an angle. 

Beveling may require several passes due to the depth of the cut 

needed. See Fig. 26.

Chamfering

 refers to removing only the corner of the edge of a 

board. Normally a chamfer is made in one pass; so a 1/16-inch 

deep cut is made. See Fig. 26.

ATTACH A VACUUM HOSE

A standard dust collection hose can be attached to the 2-1/2" 

diameter dust port underneath the outfeed table. The jointer will 

perform properly at all depths of cuts up to 1/8 inch when using 

a dust collection system.

NOTE:

 Make sure the jointer and dust collection system are on separate electrical circuits. This will 

prevent circuits from overloading.

1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and that the cord is unplugged before attaching the 

vacuum hose.

2. Attach the dust collection hose to the dust port (Fig. 27 - 1).

3. Turn the dust collection system ON before starting the jointer. Periodically replace and empty the 

bag in the collection system.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch (Fig. 27 - 2) is located on the front of the jointer. 

1. To turn the jointer ON, move the switch to the up position. 

2. To turn the jointer OFF, move the switch to the down position. 

3. Remove the yellow tab to engage child-safety lock and prevent unwanted start-ups.
