SECTION 1: SAFETY  
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction  
Manual Before Operating This Equipment  
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.  
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level  
of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below.  
Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substi-  
tute for proper accident prevention measures.  
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. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The amperage  
rating should be listed on the motor or tool  
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a  
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension cord must  
also contain a ground wire and plug pin.  
Always repair or replace extension cords if  
they become damaged.  
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-  
ic contact starting switches there is a risk of  
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.  
Always disconnect from power source  
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure  
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.  
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, 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, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,  
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get  
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is  
recommended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-  
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT  
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN  
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF  
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-  
ness is required at all times when running a  
machine.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use  
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.  
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resis-  
tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  
20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR  
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-  
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any  
instructions you give in regards to machine  
operation are approved, correct, safe, and  
clearly understood.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
work when practical. It’s safer than using your  
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.  
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper foot-  
ing and balance at all times.  
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-  
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-  
ed operation, stop using the machine! Then  
contact our service department or ask a  
qualified expert how the operation should  
be performed.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep  
tools sharp and clean for best and safest  
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-  
cating and changing accessories.

Additional Safety Instructions For Jointers  
1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with your  
lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before  
you feed it over the cutterhead. If you have  
any doubts about the stability or structural  
integrity of your stock, DO NOT JOINT IT!  
9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against  
the grain is dangerous and could produce  
chatter or excessive chip out, which could  
lead to loss of control over the workpiece.  
10. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING,  
all operations must be performed with the  
guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to  
replace the guard.  
2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIPS of  
infeed and outfeed table surfaces and cut-  
terhead knife path.  
3. ALWAYS USE A PUSH BLOCK when  
jointing. Never place your hands directly  
over the cutterhead.  
11. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward the  
infeed table. If a cut must be interrupted, lift  
the workpiece clear of the cutterhead.  
4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequately  
at all times during operation, and maintain  
control over the work at all times.  
12. HABITS — GOOD AND BAD — are hard  
to break. Develop good habits in your shop  
and safety will become second-nature to  
you.  
5. WHEN JOINTING, DO NOT stand directly  
at the end of either table. Position yourself  
just to the side of the infeed table to protect  
yourself from possible kickbacks.  
13. “KICKBACK” is when the workpiece is  
thrown off the jointer table by the force of  
the cutterheads. Always use pushblocks  
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.  
6. NEVER MAKE JOINTING CUTS deeper  
than 18".  
7. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has loose  
knots. All defects should be cut out of the  
board before it is planed or jointed.  
14. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD  
DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN  
HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA-  
approved respirator when working in an  
environment that could contain wood dust.  
8. NEVER JOINT end grain.  
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-  
ciated with the jointers. Accidents are fre-  
quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail-  
ure to pay attention. Use this tool with  
respect and caution to lessen the possibil-  
ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
Every shop environment is different. Always  
consider safety first, as it applies to your  
individual working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and respect.  
Failure to do so could result in serious per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor  
work results.

SECTION 4: MAIN COMPONENTS  
1. Infeed Table: Facing the front of the jointer,  
the infeed table is located to the right of the  
cutterhead. The infeed table is where the  
workpiece is placed at the beginning of the  
cutting operation. The wood travels right to  
left; from the infeed table, across the cutter-  
head, and onto the outfeed table.  
the workpiece is lifted from the jointer after  
the cutting operation is complete. The wood  
travels right to left; from the infeed table,  
across the cutterhead, and onto the outfeed  
table.  
7. Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindri-  
cal assembly that holds each of the three  
jointer knives or indexable carbide cutters. It  
spins on a horizontal axis between the  
infeed and outfeed table, and is covered by  
the cutterhead guard when the jointer is not  
in use.  
2. Pedestal Switch: Location of the power indi-  
cator light, the START button, and the  
EMERGENCY STOP button.  
3. Fence Adjustment Handwheel: Controls  
the back-and-forth location of the fence  
across the top of the tables.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy  
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-  
ment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent clean-  
er or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s  
G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some  
parts may need to be removed. The machine  
will operate best when the waxy oil is  
removed from all moving and sliding parts.  
Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will dam-  
age the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.  
Weight Load  
The Model G9953 16" Ultimate Series Jointers  
and the Model G4815 20" Ultimate Series Jointer  
represent a large weight load. Most shop floors  
should be sufficient to carry the weight of the  
machine. Reinforce the floor if you question its  
ability to support the weight.  
Working Clearance  
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-  
tances between machines and obstacles that  
allow safe operation of every machine without lim-  
itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine  
needs, size of material to be processed through  
each machine, and space for auxiliary stands  
and/or work tables. Also consider the relative  
position of each machine to one another for effi-  
cient material handling.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and could explode  
if used to clean machin-  
ery. DO NOT use gaso-  
line or petroleum prod-  
ucts to clean the machin-  
ery.  
Lighting And Outlets  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits  
should be dedicated or large enough to handle  
the amperage draw. Outlets should be located  
near each machine so power or extension cords  
are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local elec-  
trical codes for proper installation of new lighting,  
outlets, or circuits.  
Smoking near solvents  
could ignite an explosion  
or fire and cause serious  
injury. DO NOT smoke  
while using solvents.  
Unsupervised  
children  
and visitors inside your  
shop could receive seri-  
ous  
personal  
injury.  
Lack of ventilation while  
using solvents could  
cause serious personal  
health risks, fire, or  
environmental hazards.  
Always work in a well  
ventilated area to pre-  
vent the accumulation  
of dangerous fumes.  
Supply the work area  
with a constant source  
of fresh air.  
Ensure child and visitor  
safety by keeping all  
entrances to the shop  
locked at all times. DO  
NOT allow unsupervised  
children or visitors in the  
shop at any time.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS  
Operation Safety  
Stock Inspection  
& Requirements  
Your safety is important! Please follow the  
warnings below during this entire section:  
Here are some rules to follow when choosing  
and cutting stock:  
DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that  
contains knots. Injury to the operator or  
damage to the workpiece can occur if the  
knots become dislodged during the cutting  
operation.  
To avoid serious personal injury, read and  
become familiar with the entire instruction  
manual before using the jointer.  
DO NOT joint or surface plane “against”  
the grain direction. Cutting “against” the  
grain increases the likelihood of stock kick-  
back (See Warning #13 on page 4), as well  
as tear-out on the workpiece.  
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears  
could result from failure to wear safety  
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-  
tion while using with this machine.  
Jointing and surface planing “with” the  
grain produces a better finish and is safer  
for the operator. Cutting “with” the grain is  
best described as feeding the stock on the  
jointer so the grain points down and toward  
you as viewed on the edge of the stock  
(Figure 27). Note—If the grain changes  
direction along the edge of the board, your  
best bet for improving cut quality is to  
decrease the cutting depth and make addi-  
tional passes.  
Loose hair and clothing  
could get caught in  
machinery and cause  
serious personal injury.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and long hair  
tied up and away from  
machinery.

ment to cutterhead.

Remove foreign objects from the stock.  
Make sure that any stock you process with  
the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails,  
staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign  
objects that may damage the jointer blades.  
Squaring Stock  
Squaring stock involves four steps that  
should be performed in the order below. The  
following pages will go into more detail.  
Only process natural wood fiber through  
your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle  
board, plywood, laminates or other syntheti-  
cally made materials.  
Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried  
before jointing. Wood with a moisture con-  
tent over 20% will cause unnecessary wear  
on the knives and will produce undesirable  
results.  
End Grain  
1. Surface Plane On The Jointer—The concave  
face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with  
the jointer.  
Make sure the stock meets the minimum  
dimension requirement (Figure 28 and 29)  
before edge jointing or surface planing.

Surface Planing  
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We  
1
suggest ⁄32" for surface planing, using a  
more shallow depth for harder wood species  
or for wider stock.)  
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to  
make one flat face on a piece of stock (Figure  
30) to prepare it for surface planing on a thick-  
ness planer.  
4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚  
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place  
it so the concave side is face down on the  
surface of the infeed table.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. With a push block in each hand, press the  
workpiece against the table and fence with  
firm pressure.  
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.  
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 portion of the workpiece  
that is over the outfeed table. At this point,  
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 clos-  
er than 4" from the cutterhead when it is  
moving!  
Figure 30. Illustration of surface planing results.  
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.  
9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the entire surface is

Edge Jointing  
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for  
dangerous conditions as described in the  
“Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on  
page 23.  
The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin-  
ished, flat-edged surface (Figure 31) that is suit-  
able for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary  
step in the squaring process of rough or warped  
stock.  
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We  
1
1
suggest between 16" and 8" for edge joint-  
ing, using a more shallow depth for harder  
wood species or for wider stock.)  
4. Make sure the fence is set to 90˚.  
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place  
it so the concave side is face down on the  
surface of the infeed table.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. Press the workpiece against the table and  
fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing  
hand to guide the workpiece through the cut.  
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.  
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of  
the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-  
head, and place it on the portion of the work-  
piece that is over the outfeed table. At this  
point, 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!  
Figure 31. Illustration of edge jointing results.  
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.  
To edge joint on the jointer:  
1. Read and understand Section 1: Safety

Bevel Cutting  
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for  
dangerous conditions as described in the  
“Stock Inspection” instructions beginning on  
page 23.  
The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific  
angle into the edge of a workpiece (Figure 32).  
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We  
The Ultimate Series Jointers have preset fence  
stops at 45˚ to the left and 45˚ to the right. If your  
situation requires a different angle, the preset  
fence stops can be easily adjusted for your  
needs.  
1
1
suggest between 16" and 8" for bevel cut-  
ting, using a more shallow depth for harder  
wood species or for wider stock.)  
4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of  
your desired cut.  
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place  
it so the concave side is face down on the  
surface of the infeed table.  
6. Start the jointer.  
7. With a push block in your leading hand,  
press the workpiece against the table and  
fence with firm pressure.  
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.  
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of  
the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-  
head, and place the push block on the por-  
tion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed  
table. At this point, focus your pressure on  
the outfeed end of the workpiece while feed-  
ing, and repeat the same action with your  
trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cut-  
terhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT  
let them get closer than 4" from the cutter-  
head when it is moving!  
Figure 32. Illustration of bevel cutting results.  
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.  
To bevel cut on the jointer:  
9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the angled cut is sat-  
isfactory to your needs.

ments. Failure to do this  
may result in serious per-  
sonal injury.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Damaged V-belt.  
Loose hair and clothing  
could get caught in  
machinery and cause  
serious personal injury.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and long hair  
tied up and away from  
machinery.  
5. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
Table  
Projectiles from the  
machine could cause  
serious eye injury. Wear  
safety glasses at all  
times.  
The table and other non-painted surfaces on your  
machine should be protected against rust and pit-  
ting. Wiping the table clean after every use  
ensures that moisture from wood dust does not  
remain on bare metal surfaces.  
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-  
tions of products like SLIPIT® or Boeshield® T-9.  
For long term storage you may want to consider  
products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Knives  
Lubrication  
(Model G9953 Only)  
Most of the ball bearings are permanently sealed  
and lubricated so they will require no attention  
until they need to be replaced. The following loca-  
tions should be lubricated after approximately 80  
hours of continuous use.  
Using sharp knives is one of the most important  
factors involved with the operation of the jointer.  
A good maintenance procedure is to hone the  
knives to keep them in top shape. A knife hone  
will polish and finely sharpen jointer knives quick-  
ly and easily without removing them.  
Cutterhead  
The cutterhead has two bearings that require  
grease. There are white stickers with arrows  
pointing to their general location. There are two  
grease fittings—one located at each end of the  
cutterhead, on the top of the cutterhead axle col-  
lars. The grease fitting on the front side of the  
jointer is located in a small hole cut into the top of  
the front base housing. The grease fitting on the  
back side of the machine is located on the top of  
the jointer base, just under the bottom edge of the  
fence.  
For damaged or extra dull knives, have them  
resharpened by a professional grinder. To avoid  
downtime from resharpening, we recommend  
having an extra set of knives on hand.  
Carbide Cutters  
Handwheels  
Each handwheel is lubricated via an oil cup locat-  
ed just behind the handwheel body, on the axle  
collar. Remove the handwheel lock knob and  
slide the handwheel off the axle. This will reveal  
the oil cup. Apply a small amount of light machine  
oil.  
(Models G9953ZX, G9953ZXF and G4815)  
The carbide cutters are typically rotated at the  
same time when they become dull; however, the  
cutters can also be rotated individually when one  
becomes nicked or damaged. Refer to Section 8:  
Service Adjustments for instructions on rotating or  
replacing the carbide cutters.  
Table Elevation Mechanism  
The table elevation screw and gear mechanism  
for each handwheel can be accessed by remov-  
ing the left and right rear base housings. Apply a  
generous amount of grease to the elevation  
screws and gears.

Knives  
(Model G9953 Only)  
Tighten  
Knife  
Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the prop-  
er operation 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. Note—  
The cutterhead knives should protrude above the  
cutterhead 2mm (0.079"). The knife jig included  
with the jointer is designed to set the knives with-  
in this height.  
Loosen  
Gib  
Gib Bolt  
To set the knives:

4. Adjust the outfeed table to a height of 2mm  
Knife  
above the surface of the cutterhead.  
5. Turn the cutterhead pulley to reveal one of  
the knives.  
6. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in  
the middle, and alternating back and forth  
until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not  
falling out (Figures 34 and 35). Note—The  
gib bolts turn clockwise to loosen and coun-  
terclockwise to tighten (when facing the head  
of the bolt).

7. Position the knife setting gauge on the out-  
feed table so that it extends over the cutter-  
head as shown in Figure 36, and loosen the  
gib bolts until the knife is completely loose.  
Carbide Cutters  
(Models G9953ZX, G9953ZXF and G4815)  
The dot on each cutter is used as a reference  
point when determining which cutter edges are  
used, or dull, and which are sharp. Be sure to  
always rotate the cutters is the same direction as  
shown in Figure 37. Otherwise, the dot will not be  
an effective reference for determining which cut-  
ting surfaces are sharp. The carbide cutter dimen-  
sions are 14mm x 14mm x 2mm, with a 6.5mm  
bore and 30° relief angles.

Figure 37. Always rotate carbide cutters in the  
same direction to keep track of the dull or  
damaged edges.  
9. Using a 3mm allen wrench, find the jack  
screws through the access holes in the cut-  
terhead and rotate the jack screws to raise or  
lower the knife. When the knife is set correct-  
ly, it will barely touch bottom of the knife set-  
ting gauge WITHOUT lifting the gauge off the  
outfeed table. Note—The knife height should  
be level with the outfeed table to within .002".  
A dial indicator can be used to check varia-  
tion in thousandths of an inch; however, the  
knife setting gauge is an adequate setup  
instrument.  
The models with spiral cutterheads are supplied  
with an air wrench for loosening and tightening  
the carbide cutter Torx® screws. This tool is very  
valuable if you have to rotate or change many of  
the cutters at one time. T-20 Torx® bits are  
included.  
Installing or adjusting the carbide cutters:  
1. Connect the air wrench to your regulated air

the knife in place.  
2. Adjust the air pressure (torque) setting dial on  
the side of the air wrench to the "2" position.  
Note—The "1, 2, 3" dial on the air wrench  
adjusts the torque, relative to the compressor  
air pressure. The "1" setting will produce the  
highest amount of torque possible at a given  
compressor air pressure, while the “3” setting  
will produce the least torque.  
11. Repeat steps 5-10 with the rest of the knives.  
12. Repeat step 10, but final tighten each gib  
bolt.  
3. Install a T-20 Torx® bit into the air wrench.

4. Sparingly oil the threads of the carbide cutter  
Infeed Table Cam  
Torx® screws with a light machine oil.  
5. Adjust the compressor air pressure to 30 PSI.  
Note—The low pressure (torque) setting will  
reduce the chance of cross threading the  
Torx® screw threads as well as seat the car-  
bide cutters correctly.  
Under each corner of the infeed table is an eccen-  
tric that can be turned with a wrench—lifting or  
lowering that corner of the table. A coordinated  
adjustment of all four eccentrics allows the infeed  
table surface to be adjusted perfectly level with  
the outfeed table.  
6. Once all the Torx® screws have been seated,  
turn the compressor air pressure to 85 PSI.  
Further tighten the Torx® screws to their final  
torque setting of 48-50 Inch-Pounds.  
To adjust the infeed table:  
1. Remove the four hex bolts and flat washers  
(Figure 38) that secure the front eccentric  
cover to the jointer. Carefully remove the front  
eccentric cover and set it aside.  
Removing the carbide cutters:  
Torx® screws that are difficult to remove with the  
air wrench can be removed with the supplied T-  
handle. Carefully insert a Torx® bit into the hole  
on the side of the “cheater bar.” This should allow  
you enough leverage to loosen the Torx® screws.  
NOTICE  
Remove sawdust from the heads of the  
Torx® screws before attempting to remove  
them from the cutterhead. The head of the  
Torx® screws could become stripped if this  
is not done.

2. Remove the two hex bolts and flat washers  
that secure the back eccentric cover behind  
the infeed table. Carefully remove the back  
eccentric cover and set it aside.  
Straightedge  
3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, loosen the set  
screw located on the side of each eccentric  
(Figure 39).  
Outfeed Table Eccentric Location.  
Figure 40. Straightedge positioning points.  
6. Move the straightedge across the tables to  
various positions and make note of which cor-  
ners of the infeed table need adjustment,  
whether the adjustment should be up or down,  
and how much.  
7. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the neces-  
sary eccentrics until the straightedge sits flush  
across the infeed and outfeed tables. Note—  
In the unlikely event that the tables cannot be  
aligned by adjusting the infeed eccentrics,  
there is an eccentric also located on the cor-  
ner of the outfeed table closest to the operator  
and the cutterhead.  
Figure 39. Front eccentric locations.  
4. Using a 10mm Allen wrench, loosen the cap  
screw located in the center of each eccentric  
(Figure 39).  
5. Set the edge of a straightedge across the out-  
feed and infeed tables (Figure 40). The goal  
is to eliminate any gaps between the straight-  
edge and the surface of the tables.  
8. Secure the cams and re-attach the front and  
back eccentric covers by reversing steps 1-4.

3. Tighten the check nut on the stop bolt and tilt  
the fence back, then forward against the stop  
bolt.  
Fence Stops  
To set the 90˚ stop:  
4. Recheck with the square. Tightening the  
check nut will move the stop bolt slightly, so  
some trial-and-error may be necessary to  
perfect your settings.  
1. Place a square on the outfeed table fairly  
close to the cutterhead as shown in Figure  
41.  
To set the 90˚ stop:  
The process for setting the 45˚ fence stop is the  
same as for the 90˚ stop, with the exception of  
using a bevel gauge set to 45˚ (Figure 43) and  
adjusting the fence mechanism against the 45˚  
stop (Figure 42).  
Figure 41. Use of square to align fence.  
2. While holding the fence adjusting handle,  
loosen the check nut on the 90˚ stop screw  
(Figure 42). Turn the stop screw against the  
bracket until the fence contacts the edge of  
the square evenly.

Depth-Of-Cut Scale  
8. Loosen the depth-of-cut pointer screw and  
adjust the depth pointer to the “0” position as  
shown in Figure 45.  
The depth-of-cut scale indicates the amount of  
material that will be removed with each pass over  
the jointer.  
To set the depth-of-cut scale:  
1. Unplug the machine from the power  
source!  
2. Open the access door on the back of the  
machine, just below the fence adjustments.  
3. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so  
it hangs over the infeed table.  
4. Turn the cutterhead pulley so the knives or  
carbide cutters are NOT directly beneath the  
straightedge.
