the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor

strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities

contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples

of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety

equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic

particles.

10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

Installation and Assembly

Tools required for assembly

Forklift or hoist with straps/slings

14mm (or 9/16”) wrench or socket

Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver

3mm and 5mm hex wrenches (provided)

1. Remove any boards or straps that secure

the Jointer to the pallet, and remove

protective wrapping.

2. Use a 14mm (or 9/16”) wrench to remove

the four lag screws at the base of the stand

which helped secure the machine to the

pallet. One of these screws is shown in

Figure 1.

The Jointer should be raised

by straps placed around the four lifting rods

(see Figure 2). Do NOT lift the machine

directly beneath the infeed and outfeed

tables, as this can cause misalignment of the

tables.

3. Pull the four lifting rods out as far as they

will go and run the straps around the rods

as shown in Figure 2. Using a forklift or

hoist, lift the machine off the pallet and into

its desired location. When the straps are

removed, push the lifting rods back in.

4. The Jointer should be located in a dry area,

on a sturdy floor, and with sufficient lighting

and ventilation. Leave plenty of space

around the machine for operations and

routine maintenance work.

5. If desired, the Jointer can be further

stabilized by securing it to the floor, using

lag screws through the four holes at the

base of the stand.

The jointer should be

disconnected from the power source during

assembly procedures.

6. Exposed metal areas of the Jointer, such as

the table and fence surfaces, have been

factory coated with a protectant. This can be

removed with a soft cloth dampened with

kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not use an

abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact

plastic or rubber parts as it may damage

them.

Use caution when cleaning

around cutterhead. The knives are extremely

sharp.

Figure 1

Figure 2

(straps not included)

Installing Switch Arm

1. The switch arm was shipped in horizontal

position. Loosen and remove the four socket

head cap screws and flat washers on the

bracket of the switch arm (Figure 3) with a

5mm hex wrench. Hold on to the switch arm

while doing this, to prevent the arm from

falling.

2. Place the switch arm in vertical position, as

shown in Figure 3, and align the four holes

in the bracket with the four holes in the

jointer stand.

3. Re-insert the four socket head cap screws

with the four flat washers, as shown in

Figure 3.

4. Firmly tighten the four socket head cap

screws with the hex wrench.

Installing Cutterhead Guard

Jointer knives are extremely

sharp. Use caution when working with or

around the cutterhead.

The cutterhead guard has a spring tension

mechanism which must be properly tensioned

when installing the cutterhead guard on the

machine.

To install the cutterhead guard:

1. Insert a small hex wrench, or similar object,

into the pin on the guard tension mechanism

(Figure 4).

2. Twist the hex wrench and pin clockwise, as

shown in Figure 5, and hold them there.

3. Lower the shaft of the guard into the hole on

the jointer’s rabbeting ledge. See Figure 6.

The guard should be lowered into the hole

far enough that the groove in the guard’s

shaft will mate with the shaft of the locking

handle (Figure 6).

4. After the guard has been inserted into the

hole, let go of the guard with your left hand -

the guard will swing toward the fence.

5. Completely tighten the set screw (Figure 6),

while continuing to hold the hex wrench and

pin with your right hand.

6. When the guard is secured, remove the hex

wrench from the pin. Slightly loosen the set

screw (Figure 6) until the pin snaps back

against the rabbeting ledge.

7. Re-tighten the set screw (Figure 6).

Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 5

The cutterhead guard should now have

sufficient spring tension. Test it by swinging the

guard away from the fence and then releasing it.

The guard must always have

enough spring tension to cover the unused

part of the cutterhead during the cutting

operation, and to swing back to contact the

fence when the workpiece has cleared the

area.

If more spring tension on the guard is desired,

follow the above procedure with this exception:

tighten the set screw without allowing the pin to

snap back to the rabbeting ledge. The farther

clockwise the pin is situated, the greater will be

the spring tension.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recommended that a dust collection

system (not provided) be connected to the

jointer. It will help keep your shop clean, and

reduce the risk of health problems due to wood

dust. The dust collector should have sufficient

capacity for this size jointer.

Connect the dust collection hose to the 4”

diameter dust port on the jointer (Figure 7) and

secure it with a hose clamp.

NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this

purpose.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in

compliance with all relevant codes. This

machine must be properly grounded to help

prevent electrical shock and possible fatal

injury.

This machine should be connected to a

grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to

a system having an equipment-grounding

conductor. In the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk

of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. The conductor with insulation

having an outer surface that is green with or

without yellow stripes, is the equipment-

grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of

the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a

live terminal.

Figure 6

Figure 7

(hose and clamp not provided)

Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt as to

whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three wire extension cords that have

three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole

receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord

immediately.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply

matches the specifications on the motor plate of

the Jointer.

Extension cords

The use of an extension cord is not

recommended for the PJ882 Jointer. But if one

is necessary, make sure the cord rating is

suitable for the amperage listed on the

machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will

cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating.

Use the chart in Figure 8 as a general guide in

choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

230 Volt, Single Phase Operation

As received from the factory, the single-phase

model of the PJ-882 Jointer is designed to run

on 230 volt power only.

The jointer has a grounding plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in Figure 9; or you may

choose to “hard-wire” the machine directly to a

control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make

sure a disconnect is available for the operator.

The Jointer must comply with all local and

national codes after being wired.

If the Jointer is to be hard-wired, make sure the

fuses have been removed or the breakers have

been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer

will be connected. Place a warning placard on

the fuse holder/circuit breaker to prevent it being

turned on while the machine is being wired.

The Jointer with a 230 volt plug should only be

connected to an outlet having the same

configuration. No adapter is available or should

be used with the 230 volt plug.

It is recommended that the single phase jointer

be connected to a dedicated, minimum 20 amp

circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time

delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over

recommendations.

Three Phase Operation

The three-phase model is factory wired for 230

volt, but can be converted to 460 volt if so

desired (see “Converting From 230 Volt to 460

Volt”).

“Hard-wire” the machine directly to a control

panel and make sure a disconnect is available

for the operator.

If you are hard-wiring the Jointer, make sure the

fuses have been removed or the breakers have

been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer

will be connected, and place a warning placard

on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it

being turned on until wiring is complete.

It is recommended that the three phase jointer,

when operated at 230 volts, be connected to a

dedicated, minimum 20 amp circuit with a 20

amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. When

operated at 460 volts, connect the jointer to a

dedicated, minimum 15 amp circuit with 15 amp

circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes

take precedence over recommendations.

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt

(Three Phase Only)

Consult the wiring diagram inside the starter box

cover. A diagram is also included on page 46 of

this manual. The Jointer must comply with all

local and national codes after being wired.

1. Replace the current contactor with the 460V

magnetic contactor (part no. PJ882-526C;

purchased separately).

2. Re-connect the incoming leads to the motor

for 460 volt operation, as shown in the wiring

diagram.

3. If using a plug, install a proper UL/CSA listed

plug suitable for 460 volt operation.

Three-Phase Test Run

On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been

completed, you should check that the wires

have been connected properly:

1. Connect machine to power source and

press the start button, shown in Figure 10.

(See “Operating Controls” on page 25 for

further information on the control switch.)

2. The cutterhead should rotate clockwise as

viewed from the front of the machine. If the

cutterhead rotation is incorrect, press the

stop button (Figure 10) and disconnect

machine from power.

3. Switch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T".

Adjustments

Drive Belt Tension

To check or adjust the drive belt tension:

1. Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and

remove the belt guard (B, Figure 11).

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by

unscrewing the four flat head screws (D,

Figure 11) with a cross-point screwdriver.

3. Proper drive belt tension is achieved when

there is a small amount of deflection in the

drive belt midway between the pulleys,

when using moderate finger pressure

(Figure 12).

4. To increase the tension on the drive belt,

loosen the lower hex nut (B, Figure 13) with

a 17mm wrench, and tighten the top hex nut

(A, Figure 13). When finished, tighten lower

hex nut (B, Figure 13).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard.

NOTE: After operating the machine for a short

time, the drive belt tension should be re-

checked, as the new drive belt may stretch

slightly during the “breaking-in” period.

Drive Belt Replacement

1. Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and

remove the belt guard (B, Figure 11).

2. Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by

removing the four flat head screws with a

cross-point screwdriver.

3. On the motor base plate, loosen the top hex

nut (A, Figure 13), and lift up on the motor to

create slack in the drive belt. Remove the

drive belt from both pulleys.

4. Install the new drive belt around top and

bottom pulleys, and tension it appropriately

(see “Drive Belt Tension”).

5. Re-install rear panel and belt guard (Figure

11).

Fence Movement

The fence can be moved forward or backward

across the width of the table. It also tilts up to 45

degrees forward and backward, and contains

positive stops at both these angles, as well as a

positive stop at 90 degrees.

To slide fence forward or backward:

1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 14).

2. Push the entire fence assembly to the

desired position, and tighten locking handle

(A, Figure 14). A plastic buffer piece is

mounted to the front of the fence to prevent

scratching the table when the fence is

moved.

NOTE: If the lock handle (A, Figure 14) is in an

inconvenient position, it can be adjusted.

Loosen the two hex nuts underneath the slide

bracket (Figure 15). Flip the handle to the

desired position, and re-tighten the hex nuts. Do

not over-tighten the hex nuts, as this can make

the fence difficult to move on the slide bracket.

To tilt fence forward:

The fence can be tilted forward to any angle

down to 45 degrees.

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 14).

2. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 14) until the

desired angle is indicated on the scale (D,

Figure 14). Or you can place your beveled

workpiece on the table and against the

fence, and rotate the handwheel (C, Figure

14) until the angle of the fence matches the

bevel of your workpiece.

3. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 14).

To tilt fence backward:

The fence can be tilted backward up to 45° (that

is, for a total angle of 135° from table surface).

1. Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 16).

2. Flip the 90° stop block (E, Figure 16) out of

the way.

Figure 14

Figure 15

3. Rotate handwheel (C, Figure 16) until the

desired angle is indicated on the scale (D,

Figure 16). Or you can place your beveled

workpiece on the table and against the

fence, and rotate the handwheel (C, Figure

16) until the angle of the fence matches the

bevel of your workpiece.

4. Tighten locking handle (B, Figure 16).

IMPORTANT: When the tilted operation is

finished and the fence is returned to 90°, do not

forget to flip the 90° stop block (F, Figure 16)

back to its original position.

Fence Stops

Periodically check the 90° and 45° tilt accuracy

of the fence with an angle measuring device,

such as an adjustable square or machinist’s

protractor. If adjustments are necessary,

proceed as follows:

Setting the 90° Stop

1. The 90° stop is controlled by the screw (F,

Figure 16) and the stop block (E, Figure 16).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16)

and loosen the hex nut on the screw (F,

Figure 16).

3. Set your angle measuring device to 90

degrees, and place it on the table and

against the fence.

4. Move the fence until it fits flush against the

angle measuring device. Turn the screw (F,

Figure 16) until the screw contacts the stop

block (E, Figure 16).

5. Tighten the hex nut on the screw (F, Figure

16) and the lock handle (B, Figure 16).

Setting the 45° Forward Stop

1. The 45° forward stop is controlled by the

screw (H, Figure 17).

2. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 16)

and loosen the hex nut on the screw (H,

Figure 17).

3. Set your angle measuring device at 45°.

Place it on the table and against the fence,

and tilt the fence until it is flush against the

45° angle.

4. Rotate the screw (H, Figure 17) until it

contacts the casting in front of it.

5. Tighten the hex nut on the screw (H, Figure

17) and tighten locking handle (B, Figure

16).

Figure 16

Figure 17

Setting the 45° Backward Stop

1. The 45° backward stop is controlled by the

screw (G, Figure 18), which will contact the

back of the fence when the fence is tilted

backward.

2. Flip the stop block (E, Figure 18) out of the

way.

3. Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 18)

and loosen the hex nut on the screw (G,

Figure 18).

4. Tilt the fence backward. Set your angle

measuring device at 135° and place it on

the table and against the fence.

5. If necessary, turn the screw (G, Figure 18),

until the fence lies flush against the angle

measuring device.

6. Re-tighten the hex nut on the screw (G,

Figure 18) and tighten locking handle (B,

Figure 18).

Fence Removal

To remove the fence assembly from the

machine, remove the two hex nuts and one flat

washer that secure it to the slide bracket (see

Figure 15). Lift the fence straight up and off the

Jointer.

When re-installing the fence assembly, make

sure the cutout in the fence assembly sits over

the key in the slide bracket.

Locking Handles

All locking handles of the type shown in B,

Figure 18, can be rotated if they are in the way

of other machine parts. Simply lift straight out on

the locking handle and rotate it, then release,

making sure it seats properly.

Table and Knife Adjustments

For accurate jointing, at least three things must

be true:

1. Infeed and outfeed tables must be

“coplanar”.

2. Knives or knife inserts must be set in the

cutterhead so that the highest point of their

arc is level with the the outfeed table.

3. On the standard cutterhead, knives must be

parallel with the outfeed table across the

entire length of the knives.

These alignments are explained below.

Figure 18

Setting Tables Coplanar

For optimum performance of the jointer, the

infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar; that

is, parallel front-to-back and side-to-side. If they

are not parallel in both planes, the finished

workpiece may have a slight taper across its

width or length.

The tables have been properly aligned at the

factory. However, they should be double-

checked by the operator in case any

misalignment may have occurred during

shipping. Also, as the machine receives use,

this coplanarity should be checked occasionally

and adjusted if necessary.

The following procedure uses a steel straight

edge to set the tables, which should be accurate

enough for most purposes.

This procedure demonstrates how to set the

parallelism of the outfeed table; the procedure

for the infeed table will be identical.

1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

2. Remove the cutterhead guard by loosening

the set screw (see Figure 6) and lifting the

guard shaft out of the hole.

3. Slide the fence assembly back as far as it

will go, or remove it from the machine

entirely (see page 28 for instructions on

removing the fence).

4. Loosen the locking handle on the outfeed

table (see A, Figure 23). Use the lifting

handle (B, Figure 23) to raise the outfeed

table higher than the cutterhead.

5. Place a straight edge across the front of the

outfeed table and extending over the infeed

table. See Figure 19.

6. Raise the infeed table until it contacts the

straight edge. To raise the infeed table,

loosen the locking handle (see A, Figure 28)

and lift the adjustment arm (B, Figure 28).

When it contacts the straight edge, tighten

the locking handle (A, Figure 28).

7. The straight edge should lie evenly across

both tables without gaps between straight

edge and table. Move the straight edge to

the back of the outfeed table, and perform

the same test. See Figure 20.

8. If the straight edge does not lie evenly, the

front or back of the table must be adjusted

to make the tables coplanar. Proceed as

follows.

9. Each table has four cam adjustment

devices; two in front and two in back. (C

Figure 22 shows one of these).

Figure 19

Figure 20

NOTE: On the front of the Jointer, the two

outside cams are concealed by the hubs.

You must remove the hub to expose the

cam adjustment device. Remove the socket

head cap screw and flat washer at the

center with a 6mm hex wrench, and loosen

the setscrews in the hub (Figure 21 shows

one of two set screw holes). NOTE: One of

the holes contains two set screws; remove

the upper setscrew and loosen the lower

one.

Pull the hub straight out to expose the cam

adjustment device.

10. Pull the hub straight out to expose the cam

adjustment device.

11. At the area of the table where the

adjustment must be made, pry out the cap

(A, Figure 22) from the hole.

12. There are two set screws in the hole. Insert

a 4mm hex wrench (B, Figure 22) into the

hole and loosen the upper set screw by

turning the hex wrench counterclockwise.

Remove the upper set screw from the hole.

13. Loosen the lower set screw (do not remove

it) by turning counterclockwise with the hex

wrench.

14. Turn the hex nut (C

, Figure 22) with a 1-

1/4" wrench. This adjustment is sensitive

and should be made in small increments.

NOTE: The rotation is different for left and

right hex nuts; the right hex nut (C

) being

turned in Figure 22 will be turned clockwise

to raise that area of the table, or

counterclockwise to lower that area of the

table. The left hex nut (C

) shown in Figure

22 would be rotated in the opposite manner.

15. Use the straight edge upon the tables to

check the adjustment until the tables are

coplanar.

16. When the adjustment is satisfactory, with

the tables now coplanar, tighten the lower

set screw with the hex wrench (B, Figure

22).

17. Insert and tighten the upper set screw.

18. Re-insert the cap (A, Figure 22) to keep

dust and debris out of the hole.

Setting Knives at Correct Height and

Parallel To Outfeed Table

For accurate jointing, the outfeed table surface

must be level with the knives (or knife inserts for

the helical cutterhead) at the high point of their

arc. In addition, on the straight cutterhead, the

knives must be parallel with the outfeed table

along the entire length of the knives.

When you receive the jointer, the knives have

been pre-set at the factory. However, the height

and parallelism of the knives with the outfeed

table should be checked, and any needed

adjustments made, before operating the jointer.

Height setting of knives is not applicable to the

helical head models, in which the knife inserts

are immediately at the proper height after

installing. However, the height of the outfeed

table must still be verified in relation to the arc of

the knife inserts, as follows.

Knives or knife inserts are

extremely sharp; use caution and proceed

slowly when setting them.

To set outfeed table in relation to the knives,

proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

2. Raise the outfeed table by loosening the

locking handle (A, Figure 23) and using the

lever (B).

3. Place a straight edge upon the outfeed table

and extending over the center of the

cutterhead as shown in Figures 23 and 24.

4. Rotate the cutterhead, using the belt or

pulley, until one knife or knife insert is at its

highest point. Do not grab the cutterhead

itself to rotate it.

5. Lower the outfeed table until the straight

edge contacts the knife, as shown in Figure

24. Using the drive belt, rock the cutterhead

slightly to make sure the apex of the knife is

contacting the straight edge.

6. Lock the outfeed table at that height by

tightening the locking handle (A, Figure 23).

The importance of the knives being level with

the outfeed table are shown by these examples

of incorrect settings:

If the outfeed table is too high, the finished

surface of the workpiece will be curved. See

Figure 25.

If the outfeed table is too low, the work will have

a gouge, or snipe, at the end of the cut. See

Figure 26.

Figure 23

Figure 24

Figure 25

Figure 26

Figure 27 illustrates the correct setting of

outfeed table level with the knives. The

workpiece will rest firmly on both tables with no

open space under the finished cut.

The outfeed table has now been locked at a

standard height, level with the arc of the knives.

NOTE: After the outfeed table has been set at

the correct height, it should not be changed

except for special operations or after replacing

knives.

On the helical cutterhead, after the outfeed

table has been set, no further adjustments will

be needed for the knife inserts. When inserts

are installed properly in the helical cutterhead,

they will automatically be set at the proper

position.

On the standard cutterhead, further fine

adjustments will now be achieved by adjusting

the knives in the cutterhead. Proceed as follows.

7. Lower the infeed table out of the way, by

loosening the locking handle (A, Figure 28)

and pushing down on the adjustment arm

(B, Figure 28).

8. An aluminum knife setting gauge, shown in

Figure 29, is provided with the jointer. If you

require very fine tolerances when setting the

knives, a knife setting gauge with a dial

readout can be purchased. The provided

aluminum gauge should, however, be

accurate enough for most woodworking

needs.

9. Place the provided knife setting gauge at

the back of the outfeed table (toward the

fence support side) and extending over the

cutterhead as shown in Figure 29. Place the

gauge so that the right mark lines up with

the edge of the outfeed table, as shown.

10. Rotate the cutterhead clockwise (by using

the pulley). If table and knives are set

correctly, the knife will contact the aluminum

gauge and move the gauge until the left

mark now lines up with the edge of the

outfeed table, as shown in Figure 30.

11. Place the aluminum knife gauge at the front

of the outfeed table (toward the rabbet

ledge) and repeat the process.

12. This test should be performed on all three

knives in the cutterhead, using the provided

gauge.

13. If any knife is either too high or too low at

one of its ends to correctly move the gauge

as described above, then the height and/or

parallelism of that knife in the cutterhead

needs to be adjusted. Proceed as follows.
