Dust Collection
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Install the dust port as shown in Figure
17, using the four M5-.8 x 16 Phillips head
screws and flat washers.
DO NOT operate the Model G0656 without an
adequate dust collection system. This jointer
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collec-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.
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 consider
these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust col-
lector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number
of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other
open lines throughout the system. Explaining
how to calculate these variables is beyond the
scope of this manual. Consult an expert or pur-
chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
2. Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in Figure 17, and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
3. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height MUST be level with the
knives when they are at top-dead-center. If the
outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be
tapered from front to back. 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.
To set the outfeed table height:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2. Move the cutterhead guard out of the way or
remove it, and open the rear access panel.
3. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table
so it extends over the cutterhead and rotate
the cutterhead pulley until one of the knives
is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illustrated in
Figure 18.
4. When correctly set, the knife will just touch
the straightedge when the knife is at its high-
est point of rotation, as shown in
Figure 19.

table height with knife at TDC.
