NOTICE
Make sure the straps do not touch the con-
trol panel pedestal in the next step. also,
make sure they stay under the base and do
not slip to the infeed or outfeed tables to
avoid damaging the machine.
Note: Before the jointer was shipped from the
factory, the infeed table was fully raised and
the stop bolt was threaded up against the bot-
tom of it to safely secure it during transit.
To prevent damaging the table elevation
gearing, you MUST adjust the position of
the infeed stop bolt to the operating position
before attempting to lower the infeed table.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the table elevation
gearing, NEvER force the table handwheels
if you feel resistance. check the positions
of the stop bolts or for obstructions.
8. loosen the jam nut (see Figure 17) on the
infeed stop bolt, then unthread the stop
bolt until the distance from the top of the
bolt and the bottom of the infeed table is
the same as the maximum depth of cut
specified for your jointer (refer to the
Model
Specification comparison chart for your
model on
page 5).

make sure they stay in place, then unbolt the
jointer from the shipping pallet.

jointer just enough to clear the shipping pallet
and any floor obstacles, then move it to the
prepared location.
Note: In the next step, use shims between
the base mounting points and the floor to
avoid warping or cracking the cast iron.
7. as you mount the jointer to the floor, use the
precision level to make sure the table is level
from side-to-side and from front-to-back.
