- 8. Plug your jointer into a 220-240V, 15 amp, 3 blade receptacle.
- 9. Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240 volt A.C. power supply through a 240 volt branch circuit having at least a 15 amp capacity and protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
- Motor Safety Protection
- 1. Connect this tool to a power source with the appropriate voltage for your model and a 15-amp branch circuit with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
- 2. If the motor won't start, turn off the power switch immediately and unplug the tool. Check the cutter head to make sure it tu...
- 3. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip frequently if:
- a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short time.
- b. Line voltages should not be more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified for your model.
- c. Improper or dull jointer knives are used.
- 4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size wire in the su...

- Assembly (continued)
- Install the Leveling Feet
- 1. Turn the base upside down.
- 2. From the hardware pack find the following:
- 3. Thread one 3/8 nut onto each of the leveling feet until the nut is 1/2" from the foot. Do this for all four feet.
- 4. Attach the leveling feet as shown. Place one 3/8 washer on the bottom side of the foot mount tab and one washer on top. Bolt the feet in place with the second 3/8 nut. Tighten the nuts down with a wrench.
- Mounting the Motor
- 1. Turn the cabinet upside down and place a 4 x 4 block under the right side of the cabinet so the base is tilted as shown. This will elevate the motor mount so it is level with the floor making assembly easier.
- 2. From the hardware pack find the following:
- 3. Place the motor on the motor mount as shown. Make sure the motor shaft faces the rear of the cabinet (away from the side with RIDGID label).
- 4. Bolt the motor to the motor mount using the four 5/16 carriage head bolts and four 5/16 serrated flange nuts. The bolts should be placed through the motor mount into the motor bracket as shown. Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
- 5. Using the two 3/16 screws, mount the switch into place as shown. Make sure the switch is right side up.
- Mounting Jointer Table to Cabinet
