Jointer hand choreography
Shift hands during cut. MAINTAIN PRESSURE ON THE WORKPIECE.
  • Don't cut wood less than 8" long, 3/4" wide or 1/4" thick.
  • For wood less than 12" long, 3" wide and 3" thick, a hold-down or push block is required
  • Never apply pressure to stock directly above the cutter head. This can lead to the stock tipping into the cutter.
  • Wood grain must run in the direction of the cutting.
  • Never make cuts greater then 1/8" deep
  • Do NOT wear gloves

Setting the Outfeed Table Height

1. Raise the outfeed to its highest point and place a straight edge across the cutter.

2. Turn the cutter head until one row of knives is at its highest point.

3. Lower the outfeed table until the straight edge contacts a knife blade. Rock the head slightly to make sure the apex of the knife is contacting the straight edge.

4. Lock the outfeed table at this setting.
