Any other use exceeds authorization. In the event of unauthorized use of the machine, the manufacturer renounces all liability and the responsibility is transferred exclusively to the operator.

General safety notes
Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. Therefore the appropriate generaltechnical rules as well as the following notes must be observed.

Read and understand the entire instruction manual before attempting assembly or operation.

Keep this operating instruction close by the machine, protected from dirt and humidity, and pass it over to the new owner if you part with the tool. No changes to the machine may be made.Daily inspect the function and existence of the safety appliances before you start the machine. Do not attempt operation in this case, protect the machine by unplugging the mains cord. Do not lock the moving guard in the open position. Ensure that the movable guards operate freely without jamming. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watches, other jewellery, and roll up sleeves above the elbows. Wear safety shoes; never wear leisure shoes or sandals.

Always wear the approved working outfit:

• safety goggles
• ear protection
• dust protection
• Do not wear gloves while operating this machine.

For the safe handling of saw blades wear work gloves. Control the stopping time of the machine, it may not be longer than 10 seconds. Do NOT stop the blade by forcing the machine or by using sideways pressure. Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting round pieces. Use suitable table extensions and  supporting aids for difficult to handle workpieces.

Never use just your hands for sawing

Take care when slotting Always hold and guide the workpieces safely during machining. Never cut pieces that are too small. For safety reasons this machine requires the use of two hands and should not be operated standing on a staircase or leather. Install the machine so that there is sufficient space for safe operation and workpiece handling. Keep work area well lighted. The machine is designed to operate in closed rooms and must be placed stable on firm and levelled ground. Make sure that the power cord does not impede work and cause people to trip. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease. Stay alert! Give your work undivided attention. Use common sense. Keep an ergonomic body position.

Maintain a balanced stance at all times. Do not operate the machine when you are tired. Do not operate the machine under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication. Be aware that medication can change your behaviour. Keep children and visitors a safe distance from the work area. Never reach into the machine while it is operating or running down.

Never leave a running machine unattended. Before you leave the workplace switch off the machine. Do not operate the electric tool near inflammable liquids or gases. Normal brushfire might ignite. Observe the fire fighting and fire alert options, for example the fire extinguisher operation and place. Do not use the machine in a dump environment and do not expose it to rain.  Wood dust is explosive and can also represent a risk to health. Dust form some tropical woods in particular, and from hardwoods like beach and oak, is classified as a carcinogenic substance. Always use a suitable dust extraction device Before machining, remove any nails and other foreign bodies from the workpiece.Specifications regarding the maximum or minimum size of the workpiece must be observed. Do not force the power tool. It will do a better and safer job and give you much better service if it is used at the rate for which it was designed. Do not remove chips and workpiece  parts until the machine is at a complete standstill. Never operate with the guards not in place – serious risk of injury!

Connection and repair work on the electrical installation may be carried out by a qualified electrician only.

Always unwind any extension cords fully.
Damaged extension cords replace immediately.
Do not use the power tool if the ON/OFF switch does not turn the power tool ON and OFF.
Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

Do not use blades made from High Speed Steel (HSS). Remove defective saw bladesimmediately. Select saw blade in relation to material to be cut. Use only sawblades recommended by manufacturer. Replace table insert when worn. Do not stare into beam of laser. Do not point the laser beam at people or animals. Do not use the laser beam on highly reflective materials. Reflected light is dangerous. Repair work on the laser beam may only be carried out by a specialist.

Remaining hazards

When using the machine according to regulations some remaining hazardsmay still exist Touching the cutter block in the machining area can cause injury. For effective protection the cutter block guard must always be adapted to the work piece.Risk of kickback. Work piece is caught by the rotating cutter block and thrown back to the operator. Thrown work piece parts can lead to injury.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard by power feed mechanism. Squeezing hazard by work piecepower-outfeed. Sawdust and noise can be health hazards. Be sure to wear personal protection gear such as safety goggles and ear protection. Use a suitable dust exhaust system. The use of incorrect mains supply or a damaged power cord can lead toinjuries caused by electricity.

Machine operation

Change of operating mode (planing to thicknessing and back) may only be performed when the machine is at a complete standstill.
Jointing and planing
Correct operating position: Position yourselves offset to the infeed table (Fig 11).

Work piece handling:
Feed the work piece straight across the infeed table, holding your fingers close together, guiding the work piece with the palm of your hands. Never put your hands under the cutter block cover. Always keep your hands well clear of the cutter block Do not pull the work piece back over the unguarded cutter block. Always plane the work piece over its entire length. Adjust depth of cut with lever (G).Loosen clamping knob (F) for adjustment.

Support long work pieces (longer than jointer tables) with helping roller stands or table extensions.

Planing the face of a work piece up to 75mm thick:
Place the work piece against the jointer fence. Adjust the cutter block guard tothe height of the work piece. When guiding the work piece, the hands slide over the cutter block guard (Fig 13)

Planing the edge of a work piece (jointing) or planning work piecesmore than 75mm thick:Place the work piece against the jointer fence.Adapt the cutter block guard to thewidth of the work piece (Fig 14).

Chamfering a work piece:
Place the work piece against the jointer fence. Adapt the cutter block guard to the  width of the work piece (Fig 15).

Planing of narrow work pieces:
Add an auxiliary fence to safely guide narrow workpieces (see Fig 16).

Operating notes:
The planer tables are precisely aligned ex. works. They may only be loaded when the table-cabinet locks are engaged, otherwise they may be damaged or precision of machine be lost.

Always use sharp cutter knives!
Check work piece for foreign objects (nails, screws) and for loose knots. Feed with thicker work piece end at the front, hollow side downward. Plane the stock with the grain, if possible. You get a better surface when planing several passes with less chip removal. Switch machine off if no further planing is to be done immediately afterwards. Cover the cutter block with the cutter block guard.Jointing and planing of shortworkpieces may only be performed with the help of tailor made push woods and templates.

For the authorized use of the machine observe the appendix A “safe operation“(on the last pages of this operating manual)

A1: Planing, stock thickness below 75mm.
A2: Edge jointing.
A3: Planing of narrow gibs
A4: Planing of short stock with push wood.

Thicknessing
Correct operating position:
To feed the work piece into the  machine, position yourselves offset toone side of the feed opening. Work piece handling Adjust the planer table to the work piece thickness.

• Feed work piece slowly and straight into the thicknesser. It will then be automatically fed through the thicknesser.
• Guide work piece straight through the thicknesser.
• To remove the work piece from the machine, position yourselves offset to one side of the outfeed opening.
• Support long work pieces with helping roller stands.

Operating notes:
Always use sharp cutter knives!

• Feed with thicker work piece end at the front, hollow side downward.
• Max. 4,5 mm depth of cut. If a work piece gets stuck lower the planer table  by app. 1mm (1/4 crank turn).
• Plane the stock with the grain, if  possible.
• You get a better surface when planingseveral passes with less chip removal.
• Switch machine off if no furtherplanning is to be done immediately afterwards.
• Work pieces shorter than 150mm maynot be processed.
• Machine max. 2 work pieces at one time. Feed on both outer sides.

Setup and adjustments

General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after the machine isprotected against accidental starting. Push the E-stop button
Pull the mains plug!
Changing cutterblock knives The given instructions about knife installation, maximum knife circle,minimum knife clamping width andcorrect knife lock blot tightening torque must strictly be observed. The cutter knives may only be changed when the mains plug is pulled! Risk of personal injury by cuts from the cutter knives. Wear suitable gloves  when changing cutter knives.Move cutter block cover to front and fence to back.Turn the four square-hear bolts of thecutter knife lock bar all the way in (wear gloves!).  At first remove cutter knife, then cutterknife lock bar from the cutter block.

Clean all surfaces of cutter block and cutter knife lock bar with a suitable solvent (do not use cleaning agents that could corrode the light metal components). Use only suitable cutter knives conforming the technical specification and EN 847-1 Unsuitable, incorrectly mounted, dull, cracked of bent cutter knives can work loose or increase the risk of kickback considerably. Always replace all three cutter knives atonce.The cutter knife lock bars are balanced to each other and thus can randomly beplaced.Only cutter knives marked “HSS” or
“HS” can be resharpened!
When resharpening, remove the same amount of material from all three cutter knives, otherwise a balancing error may cause damage to the bearings. Cutter knives can only be resharpened down to a minimum width of 15 mm. Knives may not exceed the cutterblock body by 1,1mm in radius. Use genuine Jet replacement parts only.

Changing the Standard Blades

Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is in the upright position. Using a 4mm Hex key loosen the four cap head  screws on the cutter block, thus removing the clamping effect. This should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up, protruding clear of the edge of the cutter block, see Fig 18. Carefully remove the blade and place safely aside

Remove the blade holder and lay aside. Clean the slot housing thoroughly, remove any resin build-up, sawdust, chips etc. Clean the blade holder and ensure the circumference of the cutter block is cleaned thoroughly, see Fig 19.

Remove the new blade from its keeper and place the old blade in it’s place. Locate the blade setting tool (L), see Fig 20.

Introduce the blade holder, position it against the back of the slot, introduce the blade in the front of the blade holder. Carefully position the blade and the holder to line up with the edge of the cutter block. Press the blade setting tool gently down onto the blade, ensuring the locating feet are firmly seated against the circumference of thecutter blockand the blade is against the setting recess, see Fig 21.

Holding the blade and setting tool (L) in position, tighten two cap head screws to provide a firm clamp on the blade.  Keeping the setting tool held firmly in place tighten the remaining cap head screws, see Fig 22. Repeat the procedure for the other two blades. When allthe blades are set at the correct height, carry out a quick check by rotating the cutter block in reverse and visually inspectingthe edgeof the blade against a fixed point.

If this appears satisfactory, go round and check everything is tight and lower the surface tables and re-lock them in place. Replace the fence assembly and continue with the operation.

NOTE: You can also check that the blades are set at thecorrect height along the length of the cutter block bythe following method below.

• Find a scrap piece of timber and drawtwo measuring lines approximately 3-4mm apart, see Fig 23.
• Place the timber to one side of the cutter block across the tables and line up right measuring line to the edge of the outfeed surface table, see Fig 23.
• Rotate the cutter block so the blade tippulls the timber forward, stop when the blade detaches itself from the timber.
• The rear line should now line up withthe outfeed table’s edge, see Fig 23.7.2 Setting the Machine for Thicknessing

1. Remove the fence assembly and place it in its holder to the rear of themachine. Unlock the surface table and raise them to the upright position.
2. Rotate the dust extraction hood until it’s in the upright position.
3. Raise the locking lever to engage the thicknessing function, see Fig 24.

Digital Thickness Display
The ‘Digital Display’ will give an accurate visual indication of the amount you are adjusting the thicknessing table in 0.10mm increments. The digital display should be pre-set at the fatory but if required can be set as follows.

Place a straight edge across the thicknessing table, raise the table until the tip of the cutter-block blade at it’s lowest pointis touching the top of the straight edge, see Fig 25.  Using a vernier, measure the height of the straight edge and write down the reading, see Fig 26.

Loosen the grub screw holding the collar mechanisum, turn the collar on the digital display unit and dial in the measurement you wrote down, see Fig

Tighten the grub screw, clamping the collar to the drive shaft.

Remove the stright edge from the thicknessing table.
