SAFETY  
READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL  
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL  
result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD  
result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY  
result in minor or moderate injury.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper  
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage  
to the machinery.  
NOTICE  
Standard Safety Instructions  
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious  
injury hazards to untrained users.  
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.  
3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES  
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.  
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause  
permanent hearing damage.  
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may  
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip  
footwear.  
6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.  
Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.  
7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make  
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.  
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work  
area.  
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

W1755 6" Parallelogram Jointer  
10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to  
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.  
11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or  
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.  
12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.  
13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-  
heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords  
for 220V machinery.  
14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is in  
OFF position before reconnecting.  
15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.  
16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.  
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting wrench-  
es before turning machinery ON.  
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of  
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine  
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.  
19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.  
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.  
20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.  
21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured  
workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.  
22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-  
tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."  
24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.  
25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and ani-  
mals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you will  
be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety Instructions for Jointers  
READ and understand this

before using this machine.

safety by not reading!  
1. JOINTER KICKBACK. “Kickback” is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force  
of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury  
from “kickback.” If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this  
machine.  
2. CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned with the edge of the knife  
at top dead center (TDC) to avoid kickback and personal injuries.  
3. PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over  
the cutterhead without a push block.  
4. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Proper workpiece support while cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and  
avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.  
5. KICKBACK ZONE. The “kickback zone” is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never  
stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.  
1
6. MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is ⁄8". Never attempt any  
single cut deeper than this!  
7. JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could  
produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.  
8. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the exception of rabbeting, all operations must be performed with  
the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.  
9. PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until  
the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never move the workpiece backwards  
toward the infeed table, or the risk of kickback will be extreme.  
10. USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you  
feed it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have  
any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

ELECTRICAL  
110V/220V Operation  
The Model W1755 is prewired for 110V operation, but  
you can rewire it for 220V operation (refer to the wir-  
ing diagram on Page 41). We recommend connecting this  
machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground,  
using the circuit size given below. Never replace a circuit  
breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting  
a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring  
codes.  
This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord sup-  
plied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. If  
your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it  
replaced by a qualified electrician.  
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area  
or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-  
cuit, you may create a fire or circuit overload hazard—  
consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

•
•
Floor Load: This machine distributes a  
heavy load in a small footprint. Some  
residential floors may require additional  
bracing to support both machine and  
operator.  
The table and other unpainted parts of your  
Jointer are coated with a waxy grease that  
protects them from corrosion during shipment.  
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or  
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-  
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or  
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a  
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.  
Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be  
processed through the machine, and space  
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other  
machinery when establishing a location for  
your Jointer.  
NEVER use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
Most have low flash  
points, which make them  
•
•
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough  
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.  
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be  
dedicated or large enough to handle  
amperage requirements. Outlets must be  
located near each machine, so power or  
extension cords are clear of high-traffic  
areas. Follow local electrical codes for  
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,  
or circuits.

flammable.  
A risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used. Serious  
personal injury may occur  
if this warning is ignored!  
ALWAYS work in well-  
ventilated areas far from  
possible ignition sources  
when using solvents to  
clean machinery. Many  
solvents are toxic when  
inhaled or ingested. Use  
care when disposing  
of waste rags and  
towels to be sure they  
DO NOT create fire or  
environmental hazards.  
USE helpers or power lift-  
ing equipment to lift this

Otherwise, serious per-  
sonal injury may occur.  
MAKE your shop “child  
safe.” Ensure that your  
workplace is inaccessible  
to youngsters by closing  
and locking all entrances  
when you are away. NEVER  
allow untrained visitors in  
your shop when assem-

— The knife will barely touch the straightedge when  
the outfeed table is set correctly. If the outfeed  
table is set correctly, continue with the next step.  
— If the knife lifts the straightedge or does not con-  
tact the straightedge, the outfeed table must be  
adjusted. Do the procedure in Setting Outfeed  
Table Height on Page 35, then continue with the  
next step in this section.

Paper  
22. Place three pieces of paper on the jointer bed, slide  
the top half of the carriage over the paper, and  
allow it to rest on the paper, as shown in Figure 18.  
Note: The paper acts as a temporary shim for set-  
ting the carriage height, so it won't scratch the  
table when the fence is moved forward during regu-  
lar operations.

29. Test that the cutterhead guard is working correctly  
by pulling it back and letting go. The cutterhead  
guard should quickly spring back over the cutterhead  
when you do this.  
— If the guard does not quickly spring back over  
the cutterhead when you perform this test, then  
remove it and repeat Steps 27–29. Do not con-  
tinue with the assembly until the cutterhead guard  
works correctly.

30. Use the two M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws, 10mm lock  
washers, and 10mm flat washers to attach the ped-  
estal switch to the back of the jointer, as shown in  
Figure 23, then connect it to the motor cord.  
Figure 22. Securing the cutterhead guard.  
31. Use the four M5-.8 x 16 Phillips head screws and  
5mm flat washers to install the dust port on the  
jointer stand, as shown in Figure 24.  
DO NOT operate the Model W1755 without an ade-  
quate dust collection system. This machine creates  
substantial amounts of wood dust while operating.  
Failure to use a dust collection system can result in  
short and long-term respiratory illness.  
Figure 23. Attaching pedestal switch to  
the back of the jointer.  
Dust Collection  
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 400 CFM  
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating  
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust  
port, you must take into account many variables, includ-  
ing the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of  
hose between the dust collector and the machine, the  
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open  
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation  
is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of  
your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust  
collection "how-to" book.

Surface Planing  
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make  
one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 36 & 37) to  
prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.  
NOTICE  
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set  
the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the  
workpiece across the tables as described below.  
This procedure will better prepare you for the  
actual operation.  
Figure 36. Typical surface planing  
To surface plane on the jointer, do these steps:  
operation.  
1. Read and understand SAFETY, beginning on Page 5.  
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for danger-  
ous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection  
& Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21.  
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We sug-  
gest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow  
depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)  
4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚.  
Portion

results.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece  
against the table and fence with firm pressure, and  
feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (Figure 36).  
Failure to use push blocks when sur-  
face planing may result in cutterhead  
contact, which will cause serious per-  
sonal injury. Always use push blocks  
to protect your hands when surface  
planing on the jointer.  
Note: When your leading hand (with push block) gets  
within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the  
cutterhead, and place the push block on the por-  
tion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table.  
Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the  
workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action  
with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the  
cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let  
them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it  
is moving!  
8. Repeat Step 7 until the entire surface is flat.

Rabbet Cutting  
Rabbet cuts remove a section of the workpiece edge (see  
Figures 42 & 43). When combined with another rabbet  
cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong  
method of joining stock. Often, rabbet cuts must be made  
in multiple passes to acheive the desired depth.  
NOTICE  
If you are not experienced with a  
jointer, set the depth of cut to zero,  
and practice feeding the workpiece  
across the tables as described below.  
This procedure will better prepare you  
for the actual operation.  
When the cutterhead guard is removed, attempting  
any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes the  
operator to the moving cutterhead. Always replace  
the cutterhead guard after rabbet cutting!  
To rabbet cut on the jointer, do these steps:  
1. Read and understand SAFETY, beginning on Page 5.  
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for danger-  
ous conditions as described in Stock Inspection &  
Requirements on Page 21.  
3. Set the initial cutting depth between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8",  
depending on the hardness of the type of wood you  
are using.  
Figure 42. Typical rabbet cutting  
operation.  
4. Remove the cutterhead guard.  
5. Make sure your fence is moved forward, so the  
amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same  
as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your  
fence is set to 90˚  
6. Turn the jointer ON.  
7. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead in the same  
manner as you would while surface planing, but use  
the extension table for additional support.  
8. Turn the jointer OFF, and lower the infeed table  
between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8", depending on the hardness of  
the type of wood you are using.  
Figure 43. Rabbet cutting illustration.  
DO NOT adjust the infeed table depth while the joint-  
er is running.  
9. Repeat Steps 6–8 until the your rabbet is cut to the  
desired depth.

2. Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out of the  
way.  
3. Using a straightedge, check the height of each knife  
at its highest point in relation to the outfeed table,  
at each of the straightedge positions shown in Figure  
44.  
— The knives are set correctly when they barely touch  
the bottom of the straightedge in each of the posi-  
tions shown in Figure 44.  
— If the knives do not touch the straightedge or they  
lift it up in any of the positions, they must be  
adjusted. Refer to Adjusting/Replacing Knives on

Adjusting/Replacing  
Knives  
Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper oper-  
ation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the  
knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will  
do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster  
than the others.  
There are two options for setting the knives—the straight-  
edge method and the knife setting jig method. Each  
option has advantages and disadvantages and the correct  
one for you will become a matter of personal preference.  
The tables must be parallel with each other (Checking/  
Adjusting Table Parallelism on Page 33) and the outfeed  
table height must be properly set (Setting Outfeed Table  
Height on Page 35).  
Figure 45. Using knife setting jig to set  
knife height.  
Straightedge Method  
A high quality straightedge is held flat against the outfeed  
table and the knife heights are set to the bottom of the  
straightedge, as shown in Figure 44. Because the knife  
projection height from the cutterhead is dependent on  
the outfeed table height, the outfeed table must be set  
as described in Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 35  
for this method to work correctly.  
When using a straightedge to set the knives, you will not  
need to move the outfeed table once it is set and you  
will always be assured that the knives are even with the  
outfeed table in their highest point of rotation—even if  
the cutterhead is not parallel with the outfeed table.  
Knife Setting Jig Method  
Both tables are lowered to fit the jig on the cutterhead,  
as shown in Figure 45, and the knife heights are set to  
just touch the middle pad of the jig.  
The knife setting jig makes it easy to ensure that the  
knives project out of the cutterhead evenly. After using  
the knife setting jig to set the knives, you have to re-  
adjust the outfeed table height to ensure that it is even  
with the knives at their highest point of rotation. If you  
are using the positive stops on the tables, they will need  
to also be reset before operation. Also, for the knife set-  
ting jig to work correctly, the outfeed table must be par-  
allel with the cutterhead.

W1755 6" Parallelogram Jointer  
The Model W1755 comes with both jack screws and  
springs inside the cutterhead to provide two options for  
adjusting the knives (see Figure 46).  
Note: Only one of these options is needed to set the  
knives—Step 5 gives the details.  
To adjust/replace the knives, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

ley.  
4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley to access one of the  
cutterhead knives.  
5. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts (see Figure 47),  
starting in the middle, and alternating back and  
forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not fall-  
ing out.  
First Time Only  
If this is the first time you are setting the knives,  
remove the gibs and knives from the cutterhead.  
Decide which adjustment option you are going to use  
between the jack screws and the springs.  
Figure 47. Gib bolt loosening/tightening  
direction.  
— If you decide to use the jack screws, remove the  
springs from the cutterhead (they are located  
directly below the knives).  
— If you decide to use the springs, just thread the  
jack screws completely into the cutterhead so  
they will not get lost.  
6. Clean the gibs and clean inside the cutterhead slot  
to remove all pitch or sawdust. Coat the knives and  
gibs with a metal protectant, then fit the gibs back  
in the cutterhead with the new knives.

7. Adjusting the knife heights:  
Jack Screw  
Access Hole  
Jack Screws: Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack  
screws through the access holes in the cutterhead  
(Figure 48) and rotate the jack screws to raise or  
lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it  
will barely touch the bottom of the straightedge or  
the knife setting jig middle pad. Snug the gib bolts  
tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Repeat  
on the other side of the cutterhead, then repeat  
Steps 5–7 with the rest of the knives.  
Springs: Push the knife down with the straightedge  
or middle pad of the knife setting jig, keeping the  
straightedge flat against the outfeed table or the  
knife setting jig feet evenly against the cutterhead.  
Tighten the gib bolts just tight enough to hold the  
knife in place. Repeat on the other side of the  
cutterhead, then repeat Steps 5–7 with the rest of  
the knives.  
Figure 48. Jack screw access hole.  
8. Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started  
with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting at the  
middle and working your way to the ends by alter-  
nating left and right (Figure 49). Repeat this step on  
the remaining knives.

Checking/Adjusting  
Table Parallelism  
If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each  
other, then poor cutting results and kickback may occur.  
Checking Outfeed Table  
To check the outfeed table parallelism, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!  
2. Remove the cutterhead guard and fence.  
3. Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the front  
of the machine, and loosen the jam nuts and adjust-  
ment bolts located at the back of the machine (see  
Figure 50).  
Figure 50. Table positive stop bolts.  
4. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it  
hangs over the cutterhead, then move the outfeed  
table until the straightedge just touches the  
cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 51 (rotate the  
cutterhead if necessary).  
������������  
�������������  
5. Place the straightedge in the positions shown in  
Figure 52. In each position, the straightedge should  
touch the cutterhead and sit flat on the outfeed  
table.  
Figure 51. Adjusting outfeed table even  
with cutterhead body.  
— If the straightedge touches the cutterhead and  
sits flat across the outfeed table in each position,  
then the outfeed table is already parallel with the  
cutterhead. Check the infeed table to make sure  
that it is parallel with the outfeed table.  
���������������������  
����������������������  
������������������  
— If the straightedge does not touch the cutterhead  
and sit flat on the outfeed table in all of the posi-  
tions, then the outfeed table is not parallel with  
the cutterhead. Correct the outfeed table parallel-  
ism, then correct the infeed table parallelism (refer  
to Page 33).  
Figure 52. Straightedge positions for  
verifying if outfeed table is parallel with  
cutterhead.  
Checking Infeed Table  
To check the infeed table parallelism, do these steps:  
1. Follow all the steps for checking the outfeed table  
parallelism to first make sure that the outfeed table  
is parallel with the cutterhead.  
2. Raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead.

3. Place the straightedge halfway across the infeed  
table and halfway over the outfeed table, and adjust  
the infeed table even with the outfeed table, as  
shown in Figure 53.  
������������  
4. Place the straightedge in the positions shown in  
Figure 54. In each position, the straightedge should  
sit flat against both the outfeed table and the infeed  
table.  
�������������  
������������  
— If the straightedge sits flat against both the infeed  
and outfeed table, then the tables are parallel.  
Figure 53. Infeed and outfeed tables set  
evenly.  
— If the straightedge does not sit flat against both the  
infeed and outfeed table in any of the positions,  
then the infeed table needs to be adjusted parallel  
with the outfeed.  
���������������������  
����������������������  
������������������  
Adjusting Table Parallelism  
For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be  
parallel with the cutterhead. Adjusting them to be paral-  
lel is a task of precision and patience, and may take up to  
one hour to complete. Luckily, this is considered a perma-  
nent adjustment and should not need to be repeated for  
the life of the machine.  
Figure 54. Straightedge positions for  
checking infeed/outfeed parallelism.  
Due to the complex nature of this task, we recommend  
that you double check the current table positions to make  
sure that they really need to be adjusted before starting.  
The tables have four eccentric bushings under each cor-  
ner that allow the tables to be adjusted parallel. These  
eccentric bushings are locked in place by piggybacked set  
screws (one on top of the other) and adjusted when the  
eccentric bushing is rotated.  
The correct order for adjusting the table parallelism  
is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the  
cutterhead, then adjust the infeed table parallel with the  
outfeed table.  
When setting the outfeed table, all measurements must  
be made from the cutterhead body—not the knives—or  
results may get skewed the next time you change knives.  
IMPORTANT: The next steps are intended to be per-  
formed in succession with the same steps for checking the  
outfeed table. Do not continue until you have followed  
those steps.

Setting Outfeed Table  
Height  
The outfeed table height must be even with the  
cutterhead knives at top dead center. If the outfeed table  
is set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table  
is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the  
outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of  
kickback.  
��������������  
������������  
�������������  
���������������  
Setting the outfeed table requires some type of feeler  
gauge to get the height correct. Because a 0.062" (1⁄16")  
feeler gauge may be hard to find, you may need to stack  
two feeler gauges to make up this thickness.  
To set the outfeed table height, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!  
2. Check/adjust the table parallelism.  
Figure 56. Using feeler gauge(s) to set  
outfeed table height.  
3. Remove the cutterhead guard and fence.  
4. Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the front of  
the machine, and loosen the jam nuts and positive  
stop bolts located at the back of the machine (see  
Figure 50).  
5. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it  
hangs over the cutterhead, and lower the outfeed  
table until the straightedge is 0.062" (1⁄16") above the  
cutterhead body, as determined by using the feeler  
gauges (see Figure 56).  
6. Tighten the outfeed table lock located at the front  
of the machine, and tighten the positive stop bolts  
and jam nuts located at the back of the machine  
(see Figure 50).  
7. Set the knife heights to the new outfeed table  
height.

Setting Infeed Table  
Height  
The infeed table on the Model W1755 has positive stop  
bolts that, when properly set up, allow the operator to  
quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/final cuts  
(top height) and shaping/heavy cuts (bottom height).  
Jam Nuts  
Top Height  
We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to 1/32"  
and the maximum depth of cut to 1/8" for most opera-  
tions. DO NOT exceed 1⁄8" cut per pass on this machine  
or the risk of kickback and serious injury will greatly  
increase!  
Each positive stop bolt (Figure 57) controls the top or  
bottom range of the table movement. The jam nut locks  
the positive stop bolt in position so it will not move dur-  
ing operation.  
Bottom Height  
Figure 57. Positive stop bolts for infeed  
table.  
Calibrating Depth Scale  
The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or  
“zeroed” if it is not correct.  
������������  
To calibrate the depth scale, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!  
2. Loosen the infeed table positive stop bolts.  
�������  
������  
3. Use the straightedge to help adjust the infeed table  
exactly even with the outfeed table, as shown in  
Figure 58.

table.  
4. Using a screwdriver, adjust the scale pointer to “0”  
(Figure 59), then reset the infeed table positive  
stops.

V-Belt Replacement  
Inspect the V-belt closely; if you notice fraying, cracking,  
glazing, or any other damage, replace the belt. A worn or  
damaged V-belt will not provide optimum power transmis-  
sion from the motor to the cutterhead.  
Overly loose V-belts can slip on the pulleys and burn up  
or cause poor machine performance. Overly tight V-belts  
cause unecessary wear on the motor and pully bearings,  
leading to a shortened lifespan.  
To replace the V-belts, do these steps:  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!  
2. Open the back cover.  
Figure 64. Motor bracket bolts (black  
arrows) and motor mount bolts (white  
arrows).  
3. Loosen the motor bracket bolts shown by the black  
arrows in Figure 64.  
4. Roll off the old V-belt and roll on the new V-belt, as  
shown in Figure 65.  
5. Check the alignment of the pulleys to make sure the  
V-belt is straight up and down.  
— If the pulleys are aligned, skip to Step 9.  
— If the pulleys are NOT aligned, refer to Pully  
Alignment on Page 39 and align the pulleys.  
6. Pull down on the motor with one hand to keep ten-  
sion on the V-belt, and tighten the motor bracket  
bolts with your other hand.  
Figure 65. Rolling the V-belt onto the  
cutterhead pulley.  
7. Push the center of the V-belt as illustrated in Figure  
66, using moderate force. When tensioned correctly,  
the deflection should be approximately 1⁄4".  
������  
— If the deflection is not correct, loosen the motor

Pulley Alignment  
Pulley alignment is another important factor in power  
transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be parallel  
to each other and in the same plane (coplanar) for opti-  
mum performance.  
����������  
������  
Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor  
mount bolts, sliding the motor in or out, and retightening  
the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place.  
���������  
To align the pulleys, do these steps:  
�����  
������  
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!  
2. Open the back cover and remove the belt guard.  
Figure 67. Pulleys aligned.  
3. Visually check the alignment of the two pulleys to  
make sure that they are aligned and that the V-belts  
are straight up and down (see Figure 67).  
— If the pulleys are aligned, go to Step 8.  
— If the pulleys are NOT aligned, do Steps 4–7.  
4. Loosen the motor mount bolts shown in Figure 68.  
5. Shift the motor horizontally as needed to align the  
motor pulley with the cutterhead pulley.  
6. Tighten the motor mount bolts.
