Wen JT3062, Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE INSPECTION

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. If any of the following conditions exist, do not use until 

parts are replaced or the jointer is properly repaired.

Check for:

• Loose hardware or improper mounting,

• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,

• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,

• Worn or damaged blades,

• Cracked or broken parts, and

• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

The condition of blades will affect the precision of the cuts. Observe the quality of the cut that the jointer produces 

to check the condition of the blades. Dull blades will tear wood fibers and produce fuzzy surfaces. Raised grain will 

occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying density. Raised edges will also be produced where the 

blades have been nicked. Blades on this jointer should always replaced as a matched set. Keeping a spare set of 

blades on hand is recommended. Replacement blades 

(part no. JT3062B)

 can be ordered from 

wenproducts.com.

NOTE:

 The blades on this jointer are NOT reversible.

WARNING!

 To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning, ad-

justing, or performing any maintenance or lubrication work.

WARNING!

 Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the 

tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts. 

Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.

WARNING!

 To avoid cuts, wear cut-proof or cut-resistant gloves when performing maintenance work. Re-

move the gloves before operating the jointer.
