TO CHECK DEPTH OF CUT
a. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table extending over the in­
feed table.
b. Measure from the surface of the infeed table to the bottom of the
straight edge. This will be the depth of cut.
NOTE: This Jointer-Planer will make a maximum 1/8" deep cut. To
reduce the DANGER of kickback and possible injury, the depth of cut
should not exceed 1/16" when cutting wood wider than 1-1/2".
A
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS OFF AND THE
CORD IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE PERFORMING THIS CHECK.

FENCE ADJUSTMENT
The fence can be adjusted to cut angles from 0° to 45“. Stop pins
allow automatic setting to 0“, 22V2 30“ or 45“ in either the inboard
or outboard direction.
TO ADJUST: Loosen fence iock knobs and iift the stop pins out and
turn to iock out. Move the fence to the desired angie. If it is one of the
commonly used angles listed above, release the stop pins and they
will pop into place when the correct angle is reached. Tighten the
fence lock knobs to lock the fence in place. For a less common angle
or to fine tune to an angie less than the 5“ divisions on the fence seg­
ment. Pull and lock out the stop pins and use the o“ to 5“ scaie on the
tiit indicator to set the exact angle desired.
1. FOR OUTBOARD TILT add the reading on the tiit indicator to the
reading on the fence segment.
2. FOR iNBOARD TILT subtract the tilt indicator reading from the
reading on the fence segment. Always tighten the lock knobs to
maintain the desired setting.
