Mounting Jointer Table to Cabinet
WARNING: This tool is heavy. To reduce the risk of
back injury, get help whenever you have to lift the tool.
1. With help place the bed assembly upside down on two
blocks as shown.
2. Place the jointer cabinet on top of the bed assembly as
shown.
3. From the hardware pack find the following:
3 Serrated Hex Head Bolts 3/8-16 x 3/4"
From among the loose parts find the following:
V-belt
4. Bolt the table to the cabinet using the 3 hex head bolts
and tighten all three bolts. To access third bolt, reach
into dust collection port on left side.
5. Slip the belt over both the motor and cutterhead pulleys.
Tensioning Belt and Installing Rear Panel
1. While the jointer is still upside down slide the motor up
the motor mount to put tension on the belt. This will
require assistance. Once the belt has been tensioned
tighten the motor bolts. The belt should have approxi-
mately 1" deflection (the measurement of how much
you can push in on one side of the belt).
NOTE: An alternate method for tensioning the belt is to
turn the unit upright, letting the motor slide down in the
slots and allowing the weight of the motor only to tension
the belt.
2. Visually check the front to back alignment of the pul-
leys and adjust the motor as needed.
3. From the hardware pack locate the following:
6 Carriage Head Bolts 5/16-18 x 1/2"
6 Serrated Flange Hex Nuts 5/16"
From among the loose parts find the following:
Rear Cabinet Panel
4. Position the rear panel in place from the bottom of the
cabinet as shown. Bolt in place using the six 5/16 car-
riage head bolts and six 5/16 flange nuts. Make sure
the rear panel is on the inside of the cabinet side.
Tighten the nuts.
5. Thread the power cord through the hole in the rear of
the cabinet.
