ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

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. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that

accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and

should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords

which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before

connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the

electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good

contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

1. Feed the threaded end of the fence angle lock (A)

through both holes in the fence mounting assembly

and secure by screwing it into the assembly. See

Figure 5.

2. Install the 45°/90° angle stop by pulling up on the

spring-loaded pin (B) and sliding the angle stop

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

In order to safely feed stock across the jointer safely,

the top surface of the outfeed table must be level with

the highest point of the cutterhead knives during its

rotation. To check the position of the cutterhead knives

relative to the outfeed table, refer to Figure 7 and do

the following.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table (A) so

that one end overhangs above the cutterhead. For

best results, the straightedge should be able to

stand on edge without having to be held in place.

3. Carefully and slowly rotate the cutterhead (B)

toward the infeed table (C). As the edge of the

knife passes underneath the straightedge, it should

just barely brush the bottom of the straightedge,

causing it to move forward slightly, no more than

1/8”.

4. If the rotation of the cutterhead lifts and moves the

straight edge more than 1/8” or if it fails to make

contact with the bottom of the straightedge, you’ll

need to adjust the position of the knife.

5. Use a scrap of wood to keep the spring-loaded

guard open and fully-expose the cutterhead.

(C) in the mortised hole, as shown in Figure 6.

Releasing the pin will lock the angle stop in place.

When locked in the fully-engaged position, the

stop is at 90°. When locked in the partially engaged

position, it is at 45°.

6. Loosen the four screws securing the clamp bar to

the cutterhead. See Figure 8.

7. Locate the two adjustment screws on the exposed

knife. Refer to Figure 9.

8. Rotate the adjustment screws clockwise to lower

the knife or counterclockwise to raise it. Each screw

must be adjusted separately.

9. Re-check the position of the knife on either end

using the straightedge as in Step 3. Continue to

adjust the height of the knife until it brushes the

underside of the straightedge enough to move it

1/8”.

NOTE: Check both the left and right sides of the

cutterhead knife to ensure they are at the proper

height.

10. Replace the clamp bar and tighten the four screws

securing the clamp bar to the cutterhead. Slightly

tighten each of the clamp screws, making sure to

follow the sequence shown in Figure 10.

NOTE: Failure to follow the proper sequence for

tightening the clamp screws may result in the position

of the knife being altered which can affect the

performance of the tool.

CONNECTING TO DUST COLLECTOR

A jointer creates a large amount of fine particles while

in use. It is strongly recommended that you connect

the jointer to a dust collector. Your DELTA® Bench

Jointer is equipped with a 2-1/4” (OD) dust port which

is located underneath the outfeed table. This must

be connected to a dust collector hose to ensure safe

operation.

Do not attempt to operate this tool

without first connecting it to an

adequate dust collection system.

Always turn on the dust collector

before starting the jointer and always

stop the jointer before turning off the dust collector.

12

Make sure that the switch is in the

"OFF" position before plugging cord

into outlet. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when

unplugging or plugging in the cord.

In the event of a power outage (such

as a breaker or fuse trip), always move

the switch to the "OFF" position until the main power is

restored.

The On/Off switch (A), indicated in Figure 11, is located

on the front of the jointer cabinet. To turn the machine

“ON,” move the switch to the up position. To turn the

machine “OFF,” move the switch to the down position.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE JOINTER

FIGURE 11

LOCKING THE JOINTER USING THE SAFETY KEY

1. Your DELTA

®

6” Bench Jointer uses a safety key

that enables you to lock the tool in the “OFF”

position when not in use.

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the

switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to

prevent unauthorized use.

2. To lock the machine, remove the safety key by

pulling it straight out. With the safety key removed,

the switch will not operate.

3. Should the safety key be removed while the jointer

is running, the machine can be turned "OFF,"

but cannot be restarted unless the safety key is

re-inserted.

ADJUSTING FENCE POSITION

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

See Figure 12.

Prior to performing any jointer operation, check to

make sure the fence position is approximately the

same as the width of the stock being jointed. For edge

jointing of thinner stock, it is recommended that you

occasionally reposition the fence to avoid dulling the

knives in one area.

1. To adjust the position of the fence, loosen the

indexing lock handle (A) by rotating it to left.

2. Move fence to proper position.

3. Retighten the indexing lock handle.

FIGURE 12

OPERATION

FEEDING STOCK

1. Place the surface to be jointed face down on the

infeed table and against the fence. Turn the jointer

on and wait for the motor to come to full speed.

2. Apply light downward pressure and slowly feed the

stock through the spring-loaded cutter guard and

over the cutting head.

IMPORTANT: When feeding stock horizontally, with

the width of the board laying flat against the table,

always use safety paddles or a push stick, as shown

in Figure 13. When feeding stock vertically, with the

FIGURE 13 FIGURE 14

width of the board flush against the fence, always keep

fingers on top of the board. See Figure 14.

3. Keep moving the board until it clears the cutter.

4. Turn the jointer off and wait for the cutterhead to

come to a stop before removing the stock.

JOINTING BEVELED STOCK

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

The fence can adjust to an inward 45° angle and an

outward 45° angle, enabling you to joint beveled stock.

To adjust the fence tilt, do the following:

OUTWARD 45° ANGLE:

See Figure 15.

1. Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle (A)

counterclockwise.

2. Pull the spring-loaded pin (B) up and pull the

45°/90° Stop (C) back slightly.

3. Release the spring-loaded pin and continue pulling

the 45°/90° Stop until it locks in position.

4. Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination

square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle.

If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the

45°/90° Stops” on page 14.

OPERATION

JOINTING BEVELED STOCK (continued)

FIGURE 16

INWARD 45° ANGLE:

See Figure 16.

1. Loosen the beveling lock (A) by rotating the handle

counterclockwise.

2. Tip the fence toward the table as far as it will go.

It will stop when the fence contacts the inward 45°

stop bolts.

3. Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination

square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle.

If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the

45°/90° Stops” on page 14.

When jointing with the fence tilted

inward at 45° feed the stock carefully to

ensure that the workpiece does not become trapped

between the fence and table, which can create a

dangerous situation.

CALIBRATING THE 45°/90° STOPS

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

To ensure precise and accurate results, the 45° and 90°

Stops must accurately position the fence in relation to

the table surface.

TO CALIBRATE THE 90° STOP:

1. Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle

counterclockwise.

2. Ensure the 45°/90° Stop is fully-engaged and locked

in position.

3. Using a carpenter’s square, with one edge flat on

the table and the other against the fence, check

to see if the fence and table are in square. If any

adjustment is needed, proceed to step #4.

4. Loosen the retaining nut located on the 90° Stop

rod.

5. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the position

of the Stop rod. Refer to Figure 17. Turning the rod

clockwise reduces the fence angle while rotating it

counterclockwise increases the fence angle.

6. Re-tighten the retaining nut and re-lock the beveling

lock. Then re-check the angle using the carpenter’s

square. Continue to adjust as needed.

FIGURE 18

TO CALIBRATE THE 45° INWARD AND OUTWARD STOPS:

OPERATION

1. Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle

counterclockwise.

2. Refer to Figure 18 and locate the two sets of 45°

Stop Bolts (A), there are two bolts that set the

position for the inward 45° Stop and two that set

the position for the outward 45° stop.

3. Loosen the two retaining nuts on the appropriate

set of Stop bolts and adjust the Stop bolts either in

or out.

NOTE: The heads of both Stop bolts must be flush

against the mount assembly.

4. Re-tighten the retaining nut and re-lock the

beveling lock. Then re-check the angle using the

carpenter’s square. Continue to adjust as needed.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

The DELTA

®

37-071 Bench Jointer is designed to

remove no more than 1/8” of stock in a single pass. For

operations requiring the removal of more stock, make

several passes to achieve the desired dimensions.

1. To adjust the depth of cut, rotate the infeed table

height adjustment wheel. Turning the wheel

clockwise raises the table (reducing the depth of

cut) while rotating it counterclockwise lowers the

table (increasing the depth of cut).

MAINTENANCE

CHANGING CUTTERHEAD KNIVES

Disconnect the machine from the

power source before making any

adjustments!

Jointer knives are dangerously sharp.

Use extreme caution when inspecting,

removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into the

cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

The DELTA

®

37-071 6” Bench Jointer uses two

individual knives. Should you notice a significant

decrease in the performance of your jointer, it may be

necessary to replace the knives. To do this, follow these

steps:

1. Place a scrap piece of wood between the spring-

loaded cutter guard and fence in order to fully

expose the cutterhead.

2. Carefully and slowly rotate the cutterhead by hand

until the clamp bar and four clamp screws (A) are

accessible. See Figure 19.

3. Unscrew the clamp screws and remove the clamp

bar.

Cutterhead knives are sharp. Use

caution when handling cutterhead

knives. Use gloves to reduce the risk of injury.

4. Carefully lift the knife from the cutterhead, taking

care to note its proper orientation to the cutterhead.

5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for the second cutterhead knife.

6. Clean the cutterhead thoroughly before installing

new knives or re-installing sharpened knives.

7. Install the new or re-sharpened knife and the clamp

bar in the cutterhead. Slightly tighten each of the

clamp screws, making sure to follow the sequence

shown in Figure 20.

NOTE: Failure to follow the proper sequence for

tightening the clamp screws may result in the position

of the knife being altered which can affect the

performance of the tool.

8. Repeat Step 7 for the second cutterhead knife.

9. Check the alignment on the knives to the surface

of the outfeed table as described in the section

Align Cutterhead to Outfeed table, on page 10. If

necessary, rotate the two jack screws on either end

of the cutterhead knife in order to ensure the knife is

parallel to the outfeed table.

FIGURE 19

FIGURE 20

OTHER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

1. Periodically blow out all air passages with dry

compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned

with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to

clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or

otherwise damage the material.

2. Periodically check tightness on all other hardware

and listen for any unusual vibrations as you work as

these may be a sign of loose hardware.

10. Perform final tightening on each of the four clamp

screws uses the proscribed sequence in Figure 19.

11. Remove the scrap wood block and return the

cutterhead guard to original operating position.

Re-align the fence as needed and test the jointer

on a piece of scrap stock.
