MAINTENANCE
• DO NOT begin cleaning up until you have
read and understand all of the clean up in-
structions.
• Do not use flammable materials to clean
jointer.
CLEANING
WARNING: With the machine unplugged,
blow off motor with low pressure air to re-
move dust or dirt. Air pressure above 50 P.S.I.
should not be used as high-pressured air may
damage insulation.
The operator should always wear a respirator
and eye protection when using compressed air.
Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate un-
der jointer. Keep area clean and in safe order.
WARNING: Turn the power switch "OFF" and
unplug the power cord from its power source
prior to any maintenance.
LUBRICATION
The jointer has sealed lubricated bearings in
the motor housing that do not require any ad-
ditional lubrication from the operator.
WARNING: Repairs to the jointer should be
performed by trained personnel only. Contact
your nearest service center. Unauthorized re-
pairs or replacement with non-factory parts
could cause serious injury to the operator and
damage to the jointer.
SHARPENING KNIVES
The knives on your jointer are a special quick-
set type and can not be sharpened. The knives,
however, are double sided, so when one edge
of the knives goes dull, you can simply flip the
blade around and use the other edge of the
knife. Once both sides have been used, the
knives MUST be replaced.
The following procedure details how to either
flip over an existing set of knives or how to in-
stall a new set of knives:
1. Start in the center of the knife gib and re-
move the M6x16mm allen head screw.
2. Alternate sides as you loosen the remaining
screws along the length of the gib
3. Remove the black knife gib. The knife below
can now be lifted off of the (2) locating pins.

4. Flip the knife over if necessary to expose
new edge nd mount the knife back on the (2)
locating pins.
5. Place the black knife gib over the knife with
the angled side up and the angle in the same
direction as the knife edge.
6. Line the outside edges of the knife up with
each other.
7. Replace the (5) 4mm Allen head screws and
tighten from the center out alternating sides
as you go. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE ALLEN
HEAD SCREWS are tightened all the way into
the cutterhead.
8. Repeat this procedure for all three knives.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• MOTOR AND MACHINE OPERATION
Motor will not start.
Low voltage. Check power line for proper voltage.
Open circuit in motor or loose connections. In-
spect all lead connections on motor for loose
or open connections.
Fuses or circuit breakers blow.
Short circuit in line cord or plug. Repair or re-
place cord or plug for damaged insulation and
shorted wires.
Motor fails to develop full power (output
of motor decreases rapidly with decrease
in voltage at motor terminals).
Power supply circuit overloaded with lights,
appliances, and other motors. Reduce load on
circuit.
Undersized wires or circuits too long. Increase
wire sizes or reduce length of the circuit.
Motor overheats.
Motor overloaded during operation. Reduce
load on motor; take lighter cuts.
Air circulation through the motor restricted.
Clean out motor to provide normal air circula-
tion.
Motor stalls or shuts off during a cut.
Motor overloaded during operation. Reduce
load on motor; take lighter cuts.
Short circuit in motor or loose connections. Re-
pair or replace connections on motor for loose
or shorted terminals or worn insulation.
