WARNING  
Wear eye protection.  
Always keep cutterhead and drive guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not  
remove guard for rabbeting operations.  
Never make a jointing, planing, or rabbeting cut deeper than 1/8”.  
Always use hold-down/push blocks for jointing material narrower than 3”, or planing material  
thinner than 3”.  
Never perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts (with jointers provided with a rabbeting guard) on  
pieces shorter than 8” (203mm) in length.  
Keep guards in place and in working order.  
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting  
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.  
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.  
Don’t use in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them  
to rain. Keep work area well lighted.  
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.  
Make the workshop kidproof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.  
Don’t force the machine. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
Use the right tool. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.  
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an  
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The  
following table shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere  
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier  
the cord.

Not Recommended  
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry  
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
Always use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday  
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.  
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It’s safer than using your hands  
and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-  
tions for lubricating and changing accessories.  
Always disconnect the machine from the power source before servicing.  
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.  
Use recommended accessories. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The  
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.  
Never stand on a machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped or if the blade is uninten-  
tionally contacted.  
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be  
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for  
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions  
that may affect its operation. Aguard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or re-  
placed.  
Direction of feed. Feed work into the blade against the direction of rotation of the blade only.  
Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to  
a complete stop.  
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains  
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these  
chemicals are:  
* Lead from lead-based paint.  
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.  
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your  
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,  
such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Leveling Outfeed Table with Cutterhead  
Knives  
WARNING  
Machine should be disconnected from  
power source at this time!  
Cutterhead blades are extremely sharp!  
Use caution when hands are near the  
cutterhead!  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
For most jointing operations, the surface of the  
outfeed table must be level with the knife tips of the  
cutterhead at their highest point of revolution. The  
knife tips must project equally from the cutterhead.  
The outfeed table and cutterhead are adjusted at  
the factory and should not require adjustment.  
Fig. 8  
1. Carefully number each blade with a magic  
marker to make them easier to differentiate.  
2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the cutterhead  
pulley and determine the 12 o’clock position of  
knife number one. The 12 o’clock position is  
the highest point a blade will reach in the cut-  
ting arc.  
3. Loosen table lock screw (A, Fig. 8) and raise  
the outfeed table to the height of blade number  
one by turning handwheel (B, Fig. 8). Counter-  
clockwise will cause the outfeed table to raise.  
Clockwise will cause the outfeed table to lower.  
Set a straight edge (C, Fig. 8) on the outfeed  
table and across the cutterhead.  
Fig. 9

5. When the outfeed table and blade number one  
are the same height, tighten table lock screw.  
6. The knives must be parallel with the outfeed  
table. Bring the straight edge forward to the  
front of the outfeed table and confirm that blade  
number one is at the same height at the front of  
the table as it is at the back of the table.  
7. If blade is higher or lower at one point, slightly  
loosen five screws (A, Fig. 10) by turning clock-  
wise as viewed from the infeed table.  
Fig. 10  
Fig. 11  
Fig. 12  
8. Place the knife setting gauge (B, Fig. 10) on  
the cutterhead over the blade. Continue loos-  
ening the five screws until the springs push the  
knife up into contact with the gauge. Alternately  
tighten the five screws to hold each blade in  
place.  
9. Repeat this process with blades two and three.  
The outfeed table and cutterhead knives  
are correctly adjusted when all three  
blades are parallel to the outfeed table and  
all three blades are set at the same height  
in the cutterhead.  
After the outfeed table has been set at the correct  
height, do not change it except for special opera-  
tions or after replacing the knives.  
If the outfeed table is set too high, a curved finished  
surface results. (Fig. 11)  
If the outfeed table is set too low, gouging results at  
the end of the cut. (Fig. 12)  
Figure 13 illustrates the outfeed table at the correct  
height.

Installing V-Belts  
1. Disconnect the machine from the power  
source, unplug.  
2. Remove the lock knob (A, Fig. 14) and belt guard  
(B, Fig. 14).  
3. Place v-belts onto cutterhead pulley grooves and  
through opening in stand.  
4. Pull v-belts down and place onto motor pulley  
(Fig. 15). If necessary, loosen the mounting  
screws (A, Fig. 15) and slightly lift motor. Re-  
tighten the screws when belt is placed.  
Fig. 14  
5. Check to make sure that motor pulley and  
cutterhead pulley are vertically aligned and the  
v-belt does not contact the sides of the opening  
in the base. If the pulleys are not aligned, loosen  
the screws (A, Fig. 15) on the motor base and  
slide the motor until the belt is aligned. Re-  
tighten screws.  
6. The v-belt is properly tensioned when finger pres-  
sure on the belt half way between the two pul-  
leys causes 1/2" deflection. If the belt is too  
loose, loosen the lower screws (B, Fig. 15) on  
the mounting plate and push down on the plate.  
When belt tension is correct, re-tighten screws.  
Fig. 15  
7. After two hours of operation, check belt tension  
again. Re-tension if necessary.  
8. Re-install belt guard and lock knob.  
Installing Cutterhead Guard  
1. Orient guard (Fig. 16) in proper position and  
insert post into hole in table. Tighten lock  
screw (A, Fig. 16).

4. Re-install the access door.  
Installing Dust Chute  
1. Attach the dust chute (Fig. 18) to the stand  
with four screws and four flat washers, through  
the pre-tapped holes in the stand.  
Electrical Connections  
Fig. 18  
WARNING  
All electrical connections must be done by  
a qualified electrician! Failure to comply  
may result in serious injury!  
Remove the cover of the electrical box (A, Fig. 19)  
and mount the box to the right side of the stand  
using the two screws provided. Insert the motor  
leads through the hole in the stand as shown, and  
insert a grommet (B, Fig. 19).  
Consult the wiring diagram on page 28 when wiring.  
The JJ-8CS jointer is rated at 230V, single phase  
only. Confirm that the power at the source is com-  
patible with the jointer before inserting plug into the  
outlet. The jointer is designed to be used with a  
plug and outlet as in Fig. 20.  
Fig. 19  
Important: Make certain the receptacle in ques-  
tion is properly grounded. If you are not sure,  
have a registered electrician check the recep-  
tacle.

Operation  
WARNING  
Keep all guards in place and in adjustment  
at all times during the cutting procedure!  
Keep hands away from the cutterhead! Do  
not pass hands directly over the cutterhead!  
The use of push sticks and/or handle pads  
are highly recommended when using the  
jointer!  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
Jointing cuts or edge jointing are made to square  
an edge of a workpiece. The workpiece is posi-  
tioned on the jointer with the narrow edge of the  
workpiece on the infeed table and the major flat  
surface of the workpiece against the fence (Fig. 21).  
Fig. 21  
Planing cuts are similar. The major surface of the  
workpiece is placed on the table with the narrow  
edge of the workpiece against the fence (Fig. 22).  
For jointing and planing cuts pressure is directed  
three ways; into the fence to ensure a square cut,  
forward to advance the stock, and downward to avoid  
chatter and vibration.  
For jointing when the material is higher than the  
fence, the left hand applies pressure into the fence  
and down toward the table while the right hand  
pushes forward from behind. Be sure to keep the  
right hand high up on the material. (Fig. 21)  
For jointing material that is lower than the fence,  
use push sticks to protect the hands. For planing,  
use handle pads. (Fig. 22) Never place the right  
hand on the trailing edge of the material. Hand  
placement on the trailing edge of the material  
may cause the hand to come into contact with  
the blade.  
Fig. 22  
Feed work from right to left at a steady, moderate  
speed. If you feed the material too slowly, the wood  
will burn in places. If you feed the material too  
quickly, ridges will appear in the finished surface.

Jointing Warped Material  
the knives, and they will take a “bite” from the work  
with a tendency to kick back unless the piece is  
held firmly. Push the work forward as in ordinary  
jointing. The effect is to plane off all the stock in  
front of the knives to an increasing depth, leaving a  
tapered surface.  
If the work to be jointed is cupped or warped, take  
light, repetitive cuts until the surface is flat. Forc-  
ing the material flat against the table will still leave  
a warped piece after the cuts have been made.  
The ridge left by the knives when starting the taper  
may be removed by taking a very light cut in the  
regular jointing procedure, with the infeed table  
raised to its normal position.  
WARNING  
Never joint any material shorter than eight  
inches!  
The material may tip into the jointer’s throat  
and be kicked back!  
Avoid jointing thin material which could  
become jammed under the fence or blade  
guard!  
Practice is required in this operation. Beginners  
are advised to make trial cuts with scrap material.  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
Direction of Grain  
Feed the material with of the grain to avoid tearout  
(Fig. 23). If the direction of the grain changes some-  
where in the board, try reducing depth of cut and  
slow the feed speed down to avoid tearout. If re-  
sults still aren’t satisfactory, turn the material around  
and try feeding through the other way.  
Bevel Cut  
To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the desired angle  
and run the material through, pressing the work  
firmly against the fence and tables (Fig. 24). Sev-  
eral passes may be necessary for the desired re-  
sult.  
Fig. 23  
Taper Cut  
WARNING  
Taper cuts require the removal of the  
cutterhead guard. Use extreme caution  
when making taper cuts and replace the  
guard immediately after completion!  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
One of the most useful jointer operations is cutting  
an edge to a taper. This method can be used on a  
wide variety of work; tapered legs of furniture is a  
common example.  
Instead of laying the piece down on the infeed table,  
lower the forward end of the work onto the outfeed  
table. Use caution, however, as the piece will span

Rabbet Cut  
WARNING  
Rabbeting requires the removal of the  
cutterhead guard. Use extreme caution  
when making rabbeting cuts and replace  
the guard immediately after completion!  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
1. Adjust the fence so that the distance between  
the end of the knives and fence is equal to the  
width of the rabbet (Fig. 25).  
2. Lower the infeed table an amount equal to the  
depth of the rabbet. If the rabbet is quite deep,  
it may be necessary to cut in two or more  
passes.  
Fig. 25  
In that event, the table is lowered an amount  
equal to about half the depth of the rabbet for  
the first pass, then lowered again to proper depth  
to complete the cut.  
Removing and Replacing Knives  
WARNING  
Disconnect the machine from the power  
source before making any adjustment or  
repair!  
Fig. 26  
All knife lock bolts must be firmly tightened  
or risk ejection of the knife(s) and lock bar  
from the cutterhead!  
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!  
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.  
2. Remove blade guard by loosening lock screw  
(A, Fig. 26) and lifting up on blade guard. Cau-  
tion: blades are sharp! Use great care when  
hands are around blade area!  
3. Loosen the five lock screws (Fig. 27). Note:  
Loosen screws by turning in a clockwise direc-  
tion as viewed from the infeed table. Carefully  
remove the knife (A, Fig. 28), and the lock bar  
with screws (B, Fig. 28). Repeat for the other  
two blades.  
Fig. 27  
4. Before assembly, clean all parts thoroughly and  
clear cutterhead knife slots of any dust or de-  
bris.  
5. Insert knife into the cutterhead channel making  
sure it faces the proper direction.

6. Insert lock bar and screws and tighten to hold  
in place. Blades are set at the proper height  
when the top of the blade is 1/16" above the  
cutterhead.  
When blades become dull, touch up blades. See  
“Sharpening the Knives” on page 18.  
7. Repeat for other two blades.  
8. To set the knives to the outfeed table and to the  
same height in the cutterhead, see section titled  
“Leveling Outfeed Table to Cutterhead Knives”  
found on page 10 of this manual.  
GibAdjustment  
After a period of use, the gibs may become loose  
and need adjusting:  
Fig. 29  
1. Loosen three lock nuts (A, Fig. 29) and gib lock  
screw (B, Fig. 29)  
2. Tighten each set screw 1/4 turn starting at the  
bottom and working up. If a 1/4 turn does not  
remove all play, take another 1/4 turn. Repeat  
a 1/4 turn at a time for all three set screws until  
play is removed.  
3. Tighten lock screw (B, Fig. 29) and lock nuts  
(A, Fig. 29).  
Lubrication  
1. Use a good grade of light grease on the steel  
adjusting screws located in the raising and low-  
ering mechanisms of the work tables.  
2. Occasionally, apply a few drops of light ma-  
chine oil to the gibs. This permits the tables to  
slide freely.  
3. The cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime lubri-  
cated and need no further care.  
Blade Care  
WARNING  
Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution  
when cleaning or changing. Failure to  
comply may cause serious injury!  
When gum and pitch collect on the blades, care-  
fully remove with a strong solvent. Failure to re-  
move gum and pitch build-up may result in exces-  
sive friction and overheating.

Sharpening the Knives  
To remove the cutterhead (including bearings, studs,  
and housing) from the base casting:

when handling. Failure to comply may

source.  
2. Remove the fence assembly, cutterhead guard, and  
belt guard.  
1. Disconnect the machine from the power  
source.  
3. Remove the v-belt from the cutterhead pulley.  
2. Remove the fence, blade guard and belt cover.  
4. Loosen set screw (A, Fig. 31) using a hex wrench  
and remove the cutterhead pulley (B, Fig. 31) and  
key (C, Fig. 31).  
3. To protect the infeed table from scratches, par-  
tially cover the sharpening stone with paper.  
(Fig. 30)  
5. Remove nuts (D, Fig. 31) and lock washers (E,  
Fig. 31).  
4. Lay the stone on the infeed table.  
6. Lift assembly straight up. Studs (F, Fig. 31) will  
still be attached to the bearing housings.  
5. Lower the infeed table and turn the cutterhead  
by turning the cutterhead pulley. The infeed  
table height is set properly when the stone’s  
surface is flush with the knife bevel.  
7. Before replacing the cutterhead back into the cast-  
ing, thoroughly clean the “saddle” and the bearing  
housings of saw dust and grease so that they seat  
properly.  
6. Keep the cutterhead from rotating by grasping  
the cutterhead pulley while sliding the stone  
back and forth across the table.  
8. To re-install the cutterhead, reverse the above steps.  
7. Take the same amount of passes for all three  
blades.  
When the blades have been sharpened and still are  
not cutting efficiently, trying to touch up the blades  
further will only cause the formation of a second  
beveled edge. When this starts to happen, it is time  
to replace blades with another set.  
It is recommended to keep a second set of blades  
on hand so that they may be installed while the first  
set is being professionally sharpened.  
Fig. 30  
Cutterhead Removal  
WARNING  
Blades in the cutterhead are sharp! Use  
extreme caution when handling the removal  
of the cutterhead. Failure to comply may  
cause serious injury!  
The entire cutterhead assembly may be removed  
for cleaning or for bearing and blade replacement.  
Some woodworkers keep a spare cutterhead with  
replacement blades should the original cutterhead  
have to be repaired.
