  1. Jointer

  2. General Safety • Wear your safety glasses at all times • Take off all jewelry • Do not wear loose clothing • Make sure you are the only person in the safety zone when operating the jointer.

  3. General Safety continued • Never set material on the tables of the jointer • Never stand directly behind the machine • Always joint material with the grain • Never joint the end grain of material • The operator should always do the jointing operation himself/herself • The operator should never pass his/her hands over the cutter head.

  4. Components of the Jointer • Fence • Fence Tilt Control • Fence Width Control • Guard • In-feed Table • Out-feed Table

  5. Components of the Jointer • In-feed Table Adjustment Wheel • Depth Scale • Push Platen

  6. Operations of the Jointer • Face Plane • Edge Plane

  7. Fence

  8. Fence Tilt Control

  9. Fence Width Control • The jointer size is determined by the maximum width that can be face planed

  12. Out-feed Table

  13. In-feed Table Adjustment Wheel

  14. Depth Scale

  15. Push Platen

  16. Face Plane • Face Plane is defined as cutting a thin layer off one face of the material

  17. Edge Plane • Edge Plane is defined as cutting a thin layer off one edge of the material

  18. Operation Procedure 1 • 1. When creating a face plane make sure the cupped side is down to ensure the material has two contact points on the table

  19. Operation Procedure 2 • 2. Adjust the in-feed table to the preferred depth of cut. AND • The MAXIMUM safe cut on the jointer when jointing the face of the material is 1/16 of an inch.

  20. Operation Procedure 3 • 3. Stock less than 11” must not be run through the jointer AND • Set the push platen on top of the material making sure the heel of the platen catches the end of the material. AND • Turn the machine on.

  21. Operation Procedure 4 • 4. Manually move the guard, and let it rest on the edge of your material before you feed it into the cutterhead.

  22. Operation Procedure 5 • 5. Keep both hands on the push platen as you slowly slide the material through the cutterhead. • Slide the material across the table until the guard retracts against the fence.

  30. Operation Procedure 1 • 1. Use a try-square to square up the fence before creating an edge plane

  31. Operation Procedure 2 • 2. When jointing the edge of a piece of stock, the operator must have one face flat to slide evenly on the fence.

  32. Operation Procedure 3 • 3. Adjust the in-feed table to the preferred depth of cut. AND • The MAXIMUM safe cut on the jointer when jointing the edge of the material is 1/8 of an inch.

  33. Operation Procedure 4 • 4. Turn the machine on • Keep the material tight against the fence, feeding the material through with both hands on the material. • When your hands become close to the cutterhead, jump your hands over one by one.
