Machine Description

A jointer is used to flatten the face or edge of a workpiece, which is required when properly ???squaring up??? a workpiece for later construction or jointing. A jointer can also cut bevels and other specialized cuts with various jigs or fixtures.

A typical cut on a jointer is made by firmly holding a workpiece against the infeed table and fence, then moving the workpiece over the cutterhead while using the fence as a guide. As the workpiece moves over the cutterhead, the knives or cutters make many shallow cuts that ???shave??? off the sur- face of the workpiece. Since only a small amount of the workpiece is removed during a jointer cut, most jointer cuts are repeated many times to yield a desired result.

JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from ???kickback.??? If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT oper- ate this machine!

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Keep the top surface of the outfeed table parallel and even with the knives at top dead center (the highest point during rotation) to reduce the risk of kickback and personal injuries.

PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks when using this machine. Never pass your hands direct- ly over the cutterhead without a push block.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Adequately support- ing the workpiece at all times while cutting is critical for making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.

USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have any doubts about the stability or struc- tural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!

KICKBACK ZONE. The "kickback zone" is the path that is in line with the tables. Never stand or allow others to stand in this area during opera- tion.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 5???16". Never attempt any single cut deeper!

JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.

GUARDS IN PLACE. All operations must be per- formed with the cutterhead guard in place.

PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed table.

SAFE KNIFE PROJECTION. Knives should never be set in the cutterhead so they project more than 1???8" (0.125") from the cutterhead body. Knives that project from the cutterhead too far may come loose during operation, may become damaged, or may damage the cutterhead.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

Site Considerations

Floor Load

Refer to the Model Specification Comparison chart on Page 5 for the weight and footprint speci- fications of your machine. Some residential floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figures 11???12 for the minimum working clearances.

Figure 11. Minimum working clearances.

Figure 12. Minimum working clearances by model.

Children and visitors may be seriously injured if unsuper- vised around this machine. Lock entrances to the shop or disable start switch or power connection to prevent unsupervised use.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 13) are two popular methods for anchor- ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.

Using Machine Mounts

Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 14, gives the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc- tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the floor.

Moving &

Assembling Jointer

Your Extreme Series Jointer is a heavy machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment rated for at least 1500 lbs. to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.

Moving & Placing Jointer

1.Review the Power Supply section beginning on Page 9 and Mounting to Shop Floor on

Page 15, then prepare the permanent loca- tion for your jointer.

2.Remove the top and sides of the shipping crate, then place the small items aside in a safe location.

3.Remove the four pre-installed cap screws from the back of the jointer, then, with assis- tance, secure the pedestal to the jointer with these cap screws, as shown in Figure 15.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

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.

4.Position the lifting straps under the ends of the cast iron base, as shown in Figure 16, then secure them to the power lifting equip- ment.

Figure 16. Lifting straps properly positioned.

5.Tension the lifting straps with the forklift to make sure they stay in place, then unbolt the jointer from the shipping pallet.

6.With assistance to steady the load, raise the 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.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

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).

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature of this jointer. You MUST install and verify its operation before using the jointer! Failure to properly install this guard will greatly increase the risk of serious personal injury.

To adjust the cutterhead guard tension:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the lock knob shown in Figure 22 that secures the cutterhead guard shaft.

Figure 22. Installing the cutterhead guard.

3.Install the guard shaft into the mounting hole, then tighten the lock knob.

4.Lock the fence out of the way toward the back, then test the return tension of the guard by swinging it counterclockwise and releas- ing it.

???If the guard does not return swiftly toward the fence, loosen the lock knob, lift the guard so the shaft clears the hole, rotate the guard clockwise, then re-install it and lock it in place.

5.Re-test and, if necessary, repeat Step 4 until the guard has the correct tension.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

The outfeed table height MUST be even with the knives/cutters when they are at top-dead-center (TDC) to ensure safe operation and good results.

If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will have increased snipe. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table and increase the risk of kickback.

To set the outfeed table height:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Models G9860 & G9860ZX: Remove the cutterhead guard, fence assembly, and rear motor access cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

Models G9953, G9953ZX, & G9953ZXF:

Remove the cutterhead guard and fence assembly, then open the rear cutterhead cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

Cutterhead knives and inserts are extremely sharp and can quickly slice your hands or fin- gers. ALWAYS wear heavy leather gloves when han- dling these cutters to avoid personal injury.

-19-

3. Place the straightedge on the center of the outfeed table and over the cutterhead, then use the cutterhead pulley to rotate the cutterhead until the cutter edge is at the top- dead-center, as shown in Figure 23.

Figure 23. Cutter edge at top-dead-center.

Note: On the knife-style cutterhead models, rotate the knurled knob on the cutterhead lock pin underneath the back of the fence assem- bly until it pops in toward the cutterhead. As you rotate the cutterhead pulley, the pin will engage one of the four indents on the stop plate and lock the cutterhead in the correct position for this procedure (see Figure 24). To disengage the pin, pull it out and rotate it 1???2 turn.

Figure 24. Cutterhead lock pin engaged.

4.When the outfeed table height is correctly set and the cutter is at the top of its rotation, the cutter edge will just touch the straightedge without lifting it.

Note: Use the cutterhead pulley to rock the cutterhead back-and-forth to make sure the cutter is at TDC.

???If your outfeed table height is correctly set, no further adjustments are necessary. Continue with Step 6.

???If the height setting is not correct, continue with Step 5.

5.Loosen the outfeed table lock and rotate the handwheel until the cutter edge just touches the straightedge when at TDC, then tighten the table lock.

The outfeed table MUST be even with the cutter edges to reduce the risk of kickback and to help ensure good cutting results.

Tip: Some advanced woodworkers have found that they can virtually eliminate snipe by set- ting the outfeed table in the following manner: Perform Steps 1???5. Then lower the outfeed table slightly so the knife or insert lifts the straightedge off the table. Place a ruler next to the straightedge and rotate the cutterhead, watching how far the carbide insert pulls the straightedge. Adjust the outfeed table and recheck until the knife or insert moves the straightedge only 5???32".

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

6.Loosen the jam nut and adjust the outfeed stop bolt underneath the table so that it just touches the bottom of the tables, as shown in Figure 25, then re-tighten the jam nut.

Note: When adjusted to the correct outfeed table height, use the stop bolt for a conve- nient method of ensuring the outfeed table is set at the proper height.

DO NOT operate your jointer without an ade- quate dust collection system. This machine 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 collector,

(2) hose type and length between the dust col- lector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to cal- culate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Fit a 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 26, then secure it in place with a hose clamp.

Dust Port

Figure 26. Dust hose attached to dust port.

2.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.

stock inspection

Stock Inspection &

Requirements

Follow these rules when choosing and joint- ing stock:

???DO NOT joint or surface place stock that contains large or loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes dislodged during the cutting operation.

???Jointing and surface planing with the grain is safer for the operator and pro- duces a better finish. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of kickback and workpiece tear-out. DO NOT cut against the grain! Cutting with the grain is feeding the stock across the cutterhead so the grain points down and toward you, as viewed from the edge of the stock (see Figure 34).

Note: If the grain changes direction along the edge of the workpiece, decrease the depth of cut and make additional passes.

Figure 34. Proper grain alignment with the cutterhead.

???Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Your jointer is designed to cut only natural wood stock. Attempting to pro- cess any other synthetic or natural material will damage the cutterhead and cause injury hazards for the operator.

-26-

???Scrape all glue off the workpiece before jointing. Glue deposits on the workpiece, hard or soft, will gum up the cutterhead and produce poor results.

???Remove foreign objects from the workpiece. Make sure that any stock you

process with the jointer is clean and free of dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects, that could damage the cutterhead. These particles could also cause a spark as they strike the cutterhead and cre- ate a fire hazard.

Note: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt surface can have small pieces of concrete or stone pressed into the surface.

???Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing. Wood with a moisture con- tent over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the cutters and poor cutting results. Excess moisture can also hasten rust and corrosion.

???Make sure your workpiece exceeds the minimum dimension requirements, as shown in Figure 35, before processing it through the jointer, or the workpiece may break or kick back during the operation.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Before turning the jointer ON, make sure the outfeed table height is properly set (refer to Page 19 for detailed instructions) to avoid workpiece kickback and to ensure good results. Kickback of the workpiece could cause serious personal injury!

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the following order:

1.Surface Plane on the Jointer: The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer (see Figure 36).

Figure 36. Surface planing on the jointer.

2.Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer:

The opposite face of the workpiece is sur- face planed flat with a thickness planer (see

Figure 37).

Figure 37. Surface planing on a thickness planer.

3.Edge Joint on the Jointer: The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer (see Figure 38).

Figure 38. Edge jointing on the jointer.

4.Rip Cut on a Table Saw: The jointed edge of the workpiece is placed against the table saw fence and the opposite edge is cut off (see Figure 39).

Figure 39. Rip cutting on a table saw.

Making adjustments to the jointer while the machine is ON greatly increases the risk to the operator from the rotating cutterhead. ALWAYS make sure the jointer is OFF and disconnected from power before performing adjustments, maintenance, or service on the machine!

Surface Planning

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one face of the workpiece flat (see Figures 40???41). This is a necessary step when squaring a workpiece for a thickness planer.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0" and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described for each of the jointing proce- dures. This process will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Figure 40. Example of surface planing with the jointer.

Figure 41. Illustration of surface planing results.

-28-

To surface plane the workpiece on the joint- er:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Make sure you read and follow the Safety Instructions beginning on Page 6 and the Stock Inspection & Requirement rules beginning on Page 26.

3.Verify that the outfeed table height is properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 19).

4.Set the depth of cut for your operation and the fence to 90??.

Note: We suggest a 1???32" depth of cut for sur- face planing, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

5.If your workpiece is cupped or warped, place it so the concave side is face down on the infeed table.

6.Connect the jointer to power and turn it ON.

Failure to use push blocks when surface planing could result in your hands contact- ing the rotating cutterhead, which will cause serious personal injury. ALWAYS use push blocks when surface planing on the jointer!

the fence with firm pressure, then feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.

Note: When your leading hand comes within 4" of the cutterhead, lift that push block up and place it on the workpiece portion that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus the down- ward pressure with the leading hand while feeding, then repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it comes within 4" of the cutterhead. Keep your hands safe! DO NOT allow them to get any closer than 4" to the cutterhead.

8.Repeat Step 7 until the entire workpiece sur- face is flat.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged workpiece surface that is suit- able for joinery or finishing (see Figures 42???43). It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.

Figure 42. Example of edge jointing operation.

Figure 43. Illustration of edge jointing results.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

To edge joint on the jointer:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Make sure you read and follow the Safety Instructions beginning on Page 6 and the Stock Inspection & Requirement rules beginning on Page 26.

3.Verify that the outfeed table height is properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 19).

4.Set the depth of cut for your operation and the fence to 90??.

Note: We suggest 1???16"???1???8" depth of cut for edge jointing, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

5.If your workpiece is cupped or warped, place it so the concave side is face down on the infeed table.

6.Connect the jointer to power and turn it ON.

Note: When your leading hand comes within 4" of the cutterhead, lift that push block up and place it on the workpiece portion that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus the down- ward pressure with the leading hand while feeding, then repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it comes within 4" of the cutterhead. Keep your hands safe! DO NOT allow them to get any closer than 4" to the cutterhead.

8.Repeat Step 7 until the entire workpiece edge is flat.

-29-

Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting on the jointer is to cut a specific angle of the workpiece edge (see

Figures 44???45.

Your jointer has fence stops that can be set at 90?? or 45??. If your operation requires a different angle, the fence can be locked in place anywhere between these angles.

Figure 44. Fence setup for a bevel cut of 45??.

Figure 45. Illustration of bevel cutting results.

To bevel cut on the jointer:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Make sure you read and follow the Safety Instructions beginning on Page 6 and the Stock Inspection & Requirement rules beginning on Page 26.

3.Verify that the outfeed table height is properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 19).

4.Set the depth of cut for your operation and the fence to the required angle.

Note: We suggest 1???16"???1???8" depth of cut for bevel cutting, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

5.If your workpiece is cupped or warped, place it so the concave side is face down on the infeed table.

6.Connect the jointer to power and turn it ON.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Maintenance:

???Check for loose mounting bolts.

???Check/replace/sharpen damaged or dull cut- ters.

???Check/repair/replace worn or damaged wires.

???Check/resolve any other unsafe condition.

???Clean the tables and exterior of machine.

Every 40 Hours of Operation:

???Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear (Page 35).

???Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off the motor.

???Lubricate the pivot points of the fence assem- bly (Page 34).

???Lubricate the cutterhead bearing blocks (Page 34).

Note: This maintenance schedule is based on average usage. Adjust the maintenance schedule to match your actual usage to keep your jointer running smoothly and to protect your investment.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

Cleaning &

Protecting

Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the jointer. Wipe the tables clean after every use???this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Remove any rust from the unpainted cast iron surfaces of your jointer, then treat them with regular applications of products such as G96?? Gun Treatment, SLIPIT??, or Boeshield?? T-9 (see

Section 5: Accessories on Page 32 for more details).

-33-

Lubrication

Other than lubrication points covered in this sec- tion, all other bearings are internally lubricated and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.

An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the components before lubricating them. This idea is critical because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make the them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to the com- ponents with built-up grime on them will not yield smooth moving components.

Clean the components in this section with an oil/ grease solvent or mineral spirits. Make sure the surfaces are dry before applying additional lubri- cant.

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER

BEFORE PERFORMING LUBRICATION!

Fence Assembly Pivot Points

The fence assembly has many metal-to-metal pivot points. Use a shop rag and mineral spirits to clean away debris and grime from these points. Add a small amount of lubricant, then move the component to distribute the lubricant.

Cutterhead Bearing Blocks

The cutterhead bearing blocks are located on either end of the cutterhead (refer to Cutterhead Breakdown on Pages 54 & 61 for detailed illus- trations). The grease fitting for the front bearing block is accessed through a hole in the front table cover. To access the grease fitting for the back bearing block, you must remove the fence.

Clean debris and grime from the grease fitting and the surrounding area, then use a grease pump to add lubricant.

Table Elevation Gears & Leadscrew

Remove the rear motor access cover to access the elevation gears for the infeed and outfeed tables (see Figure 54). Use shop rags, a stiff brush, and mineral spirits to clean away the built- up grime from the gears and elevation leadscrew, then brush on a thin coat of lubricant to these parts.

V-Belts

V-belts will wear and stretch with extended use. Maintaining proper tension of V-belts and making sure they are in good condition will increase the efficiency of the cutterhead and reduce wear on the bearings.

When a V-belt can no longer be properly ten- sioned or is cracked/damaged, replace both V-belts as a matched set.

Infeed Table Stop

Bolt

The infeed table has a stop bolt that can be set to limit the how much the infeed table can be low- ered (see Figure 57). We recommend that this stop bolt be set for the recommended maximum depth of cut specified for your jointer.

Rotating/Replacing

Cutterhead Inserts

The spiral cutterhead is equipped with indexable carbide inserts that can be rotated to reveal any one of their four cutting edges. If one edge of the insert becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90?? to reveal a fresh cutting edge, as shown in

Figure 58.

Figure 58. Insert rotating sequence.

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Put on heavy leather gloves to protect your fingers and hands.

3.Remove any sawdust or debris from the head of the insert, Torx screw, and the surrounding area.

4.Remove the Torx screw and the insert, then clean all dust and debris from both parts and the pocket they were removed from.

Note: Proper cleaning of the insert, Torx screw, and the cutterhead pocket is critical to achieving a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the insert and cutterhead will slightly raise the insert, and make noticeable marks on your workpiece the next time you cut.

Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or a vacuum nozzle to clean out the cutterhead pocket.

5.Replace the insert so that a fresh cutting edge faces outward.

???If all four insert cutting edges have been used, replace it with a new one. Always position the reference dot in the same posi- tion when installing a new insert to aid in the rotational sequencing.

6.Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a small amount of light machine oil, wipe the excess off, and torque the screw to 50???55 inch/ pounds.

Note: If you use the included air pressure torque wrench, refer to the detailed instruc- tions on the next page for its use.

7.Position the straightedge on the outfeed table and over the insert to make sure that it is installed correctly and at the same height as the other inserts.

???If the insert is raised above the correct height, remove it and repeat the above procedure until it is properly installed.

Air Pressure Torque

Wrench

To fully tighten the Torx screws with the included air pressure torque wrench:

1.Insert a Torx bit into the collet of the wrench.

2.Make sure the pressure gauge is fully thread- ed onto the wrench, as shown in Figure 59.

Figure 59. Components of the air pressure torque wrench.

3.Add two drops of pneumatic tool oil to the incoming valve of the wrench to keep the internal components lubricated.

4.Connect the wrench to a source of 90 PSI air pressure, then use the adjustment knob of the pressure gauge to initially set the air pressure to 20 PSI on the gauge.

5.Set the direction switch for clockwise rotation and the setting dial to 2.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

6.While carefully holding the insert in position, insert the bit into the Torx screw and press the operation lever to seat the insert. Repeat this step with all remaining inserts.

7`. Adjust the air pressure to 40 PSI, then fully tighten the Torx screw to a final torque setting of approximately 50???55 inch/pounds. Repeat with all remaining inserts.

Adjusting/Replacing

Cutterhead Knives

If your jointer has a knife-style cutterhead, cor- rectly setting the height of the knives is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.

There are several methods for setting the knives. The Jointer Pal?? included with your jointer is simple to use and is designed to hold the knives at the correct setting while you secure them. If you choose to use the Jointer Pal??, follow the instruc- tions that are included with it.

The straightedge method is described below and produces the same results as the Jointer Pal??. This method uses a high-quality, precision straightedge held flat against the outfeed table and over the cutterhead, then the knife heights are set to the bottom of the straightedge, as shown in Figure 60.

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

Note: Since the height of the knives is set from the outfeed table height, the next step is crucial to correctly adjusting the knives.

2.Make sure the outfeed table is parallel to the cutterhead body and the table height is correct (refer to Adjusting Outfeed Table Parallelism on Page 44 for detailed instruc- tions).

Cutterhead knives are extremely sharp and can quickly slice your hands or fingers. ALWAYS wear heavy leather gloves when handling these cut- ters to avoid personal injury.

3.Remove the cutterhead guard, fence assem- bly, and rear motor access cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

4.Use the cutterhead pulley to rotate the cutterhead and gain access to one of the knives, then lock the cutterhead in place with the cutterhead lock pin (refer to Page 20 for detailed instructions).

5.Turn the cutterhead gib bolts clockwise, start- ing in the middle, then alternating back and forth until the gib is loose (see Figure 61).

6.Carefully remove the knife and gib.

7.If the knife is dull or damaged, replace it with a new one.

8.Clean the knife, gib, and inside the cutterhead slot to remove all the pitch or sawdust. Coat the knife and gib with a metal protectant (refer to Page 32), then fit the gib back into the cutterhead with the knife.

9. Make sure the beveled side of the knife is against the cutterhead, as shown in

Figure 61.

10.Position the straightedge on the outfeed table and over one end of the knife, then use magnets or an assistant to make sure the straightedge stays in full contact with the outfeed table along its full length.

11.Insert the 3mm hex wrench through the access holes in the cutterhead, then rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife (see Figure 62). When the knife is set correctly, it will just touch the bottom of the straightedge without lifting it.

12.Rotate all of the gib bolts counterclockwise just enough so the gib holds the knife in place.

13.Repeat Steps 11???12 on the other end of the cutterhead, then repeat Steps 4???12 with the rest of the knives.

14.Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started with.

15.Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting in the middle and working your way to the ends by alternating left and right, as illustrated in Figure 63. Repeat this step with the rest of the knives.

Adjusting Table

Parallelism

The tables of your jointer MUST be parallel with the cutterhead and each other (see Figure 68) to ensure good cutting results and to reduce the risk of workpiece kickback.

7aVX`A^cZhGZegZhZci HigV^\]iZY\ZEdh^i^dch ;gdbDkZg]ZVYK^Zl

Figure 68. Illustration of table parallelism concept.

Adjusting table parallelism is a task of precision, time, and patience. Fortunately, this is considered a permanent adjustment that should not need to be repeated for the life of the machine.

Due to the complex nature of this task, we recom- mend that you carefully double-check the current table parallelism to be sure that adjustments need to be made.

Note: Typically, a tolerance of ???0.005" or less in parallelism between the tables is considered acceptable.

When adjusting table parallelism, you must do the following: 1) Properly adjust the outfeed table height and parallelism in relation to the cutterhead, and 2) adjust the infeed table parallel to the outfeed table.

Note: If your jointer uses a knife-style cutterhead, you will also have to adjust the knives as the last procedure to bring the outfeed table surface and cutting edges of the knives to the same height.

Adjusting Outfeed Table Parallelism

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

Cutterhead knives and inserts are extremely sharp and can quickly slice your hands or fin- gers. ALWAYS wear heavy leather gloves when han- dling these cutters to avoid personal injury.

2.Models G9860 & G9860ZX: Remove the cutterhead guard, fence assembly, and rear motor access cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

Models G9953, G9953ZX, & G9953ZXF:

Remove the cutterhead guard and fence assembly, then open the rear cutterhead cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

Note: The cutterhead pulley is used in the following steps to rotate the cutterhead.

3.Lower the outfeed table stop bolt and loosen the table lock so that they do not interfere with adjustments.

4.Make sure the precision straightedge and the table surface are free of debris, then place the straightedge on the back of the outfeed table and across the cutterhead.

Note: In the following steps, the process of checking the outfeed table for the cor- rect height above the cutterhead is different between knife-style and spiral cutterheads.

Knife-Style Cutterhead: The correct outfeed table height is 3???64" (1.3mm) above the cutterhead BODY, as measured with a feeler gauge (see Figure 69). Rotate the cutterhead to make sure the knives do not interfere with proper measurement.

Spiral Cutterhead: The outfeed table is at the correct height above the cutterhead when an insert is at the top-dead-center or at its highest point of rotation just touches the straightedge without lifting it, as shown in Figure 69. Rotate the cutterhead pulley to properly position an insert below the straight- edge.

Figure 69. Checking the outfeed table for the correct height above the cutterhead.

5.If the outfeed table surface is not at the right height, use the handwheel to bring the table to the correct height above the cutterhead, then tighten the table lock to secure the set- ting.

6.To check the outfeed table parallelism with the cutterhead body, place the straightedge on the front of the table and measure the height above the cutterhead, as instructed in

Step 4.

???If the measurements of the front and back of the table are within ???0.002" or less of each other, no further adjustments to the outfeed table are required. Proceed to

Step 12.

???If the front table measurement is NOT cor- rect and within the tolerance of the back measurement, continue to Step 7.

7.Remove the front table cover to expose the table adjustment bolts, as shown in

Figure 70.

Note: For Models G9953, G9953ZX, and G9953ZXF, you will need to remove the brake handle and hub before removing the cover.

Figure 70. Front table cover removed to expose the table adjustment bolts.

8. Loosen the cap screw in the center of the outfeed table adjustment bolt three full turns, then loosen the set screw that is directly underneath the adjustment bolt (see

Figure 71).

Note: Both of these screws are used to lock the adjustment bolt in place.

Stop Bolt

Figure 71. Illustration of the table adjustment bolt components.

Note: The goal of the next step is to bring the outfeed table parallel to the cutterhead body from front-to-back by raising or lowering the front corner of the outfeed table.

9.The adjustment bolt shaft is cam-shaped, as shown in Figure 71, and connects the table to the lifting arm. Rotate the adjustment bolt in very small increments to raise or lower the front corner of the outfeed table until the surface is the correct height above the cutterhead, as instructed in Step 4.

10.Re-check the table height at the back edge of the table, as instructed in Step 4.

???If the table height is correct from front-to- back, no further adjustments are neces- sary. Go to Step 11 to finish this proce- dure.

???If the table height from front-to-back is not correct and the same, loosen the table lock and use the handwheel to bring the back of the table to the correct height above the cutterhead body, then repeat Step 9. Continue this process until the table height is correct and the same from front-to- back.

13.When the Adjusting Outfeed Table Parallelism procedure is successfully com- pleted, proceed to Adjusting Infeed Table Parallelism.

Adjusting Infeed Table Parallelism

1.Make sure that all steps in the Adjusting Outfeed Table Parallelism procedure have been successfully completed and that the jointer is still disconnected from power.

2.Make sure the table surfaces and the preci- sion straightedge are free from any debris that would interfere with taking measurements, then place the straightedge equally over the back of the outfeed and infeed tables.

Note: Make sure the straightedge is not in contact with a knife or insert.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

3.With the use of a magnet or an assistant, make sure that the straightedge stays flat against the full length of its contact with the outfeed table during the following steps.

4.Use the handwheel to adjust the infeed table as close as possible to the straightedge, then look closely for any gaps between the infeed table and the straightedge. Repeat this pro- cess on the front of the infeed table.

???If there are no gaps as the straightedge is positioned on both the back and front of the tables, then the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table and the cutterhead??? thus, no further adjustments are required. Proceed to Step 7.

???If there are gaps between the straightedge and the infeed table, make a note of how much and where the gaps are, then pro- ceed to Step 5.

Note: To access the table adjustment bolts on the back side of the infeed table, remove the back table cover.

5.Use the same process you performed in Step 9 on Page 46 to raise or lower the left or right end of the infeed table to eliminate the gaps. Adjust the adjustment bolts equally on each side for the targeted end of the table, one after the other, in very small increments (see

Figure 73).

Figure 73. Locations of the infeed table adjustment bolts.

6.Repeat Steps 4???5 until the infeed table is completely parallel to the outfeed table, which will also make it parallel to the cutterhead.

7.If the table adjustment cap and set screws are loose, re-tighten them and re-install the previously removed parts.

8.Loosen the screw that secures the depth of cut pointer (see Figure 74), adjust the pointer to "0", then re-tighten the screw.

Figure 74. Depth of cut scale and pointer.

9.If your jointer uses a knife-style cutterhead, re-adjust the knife heights as instructed in the
