FEEDING WORKPIECE
Refer to Figures 16-18.
Feed rate refers to rate at which wood is passed over
blades. An even feed will produce a uniform service. To
feed workpiece:
•
Hold the board firmly down on both tables and
against the fence.
•
Keep fingers close together.
•
Feed the board at a continuous even rate of speed.
Any hesitation or stopping could cause a "step" to be
cut on the edge of the board.
Figure 16 - Feeding Workpiece
•
As the trailing hand passes over the cutterhead,
remove the leading hand.
•
Continue feeding while placing the leading hand
behind the trailing hand until the entire length of the
board is cut.
Figure 17 - Guiding Workpiece
•
Feed with the grain whenever possible.
•
If the nature of the workpiece is such that it must be
fed against the grain, take very light cuts and feed
slowly.
•
When using long workpieces, to avoid injury from slips
or kickbacks and to exert even pressure on the cutter-
head, use extra supports (see Recommended
Accessories, page 17) at both infeed and outfeed ends.
USING HOLD DOWN/PUSH
BLOCKS
Refer to Figure 19.
•
Always use hold-down/push-blocks
when jointing
wood that is narrower than 3", planing wood thinner
than 3".
Figure 19 - Feeding with Push Blocks
•
Grasp the hold-down/push-blocks
firmly.
•
Position the push-blocks flat on top of workpiece and
push the workpiece down against the table.
•
Use a hand-over-hand
motion to maintain control
over the workpiece at all times.
•
When planing workpiece between '/2- 3/4"and nar-
rower than the push-blocks, tilt the push-blocks so
that it clears the cutterhead guard while feeding.
BEVELING
AND CHAMFERING
Refer to Figure 20.
•
The fence on the jointer/planer is adjustable from
45 ° inward to 45 ° outward. Adjust the fence to the
desired angle and tighten fence tilting handle
•
Beveling refers to cutting the entire edge of a board
at an angle. Beveling may require several passes
due to the depth of cut needed.
•
Chamfering refers to removing only the corner of the
edge of a board. Normally a chamfer is made on one
pass; so a 1/16 Hdepth of cut is made.

WARNING:
Turn the switch to OFF position and
unplug jointer/planer
from power source before pro-
ceeding to do maintenance work.
CHECKING
FOR WORN BLADES
Condition of blades will affect precision of cut. If blade
wear is not observed when checking the blade height,
the quality of cut will indicate the blade condition. Dull
blades will tear rather than sever wood fiber. A raised
grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood where
there is difference in density. A raised ridge will be pro-
duced where the blades have been nicked.
