WARNNING Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before attempting set-up or operation! Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

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.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
2The 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. Note: Models PJ882T and PJ882HHT have an industrial-grade lowfriction corrosion-resistant coating and will not require cleaning with solvents.
    Use caution when cleaning around cutterhead. The knives are extremely sharp.

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
WARNING 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 align with the set screw (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).
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
4

The cutterhead guard should now have sufficient spring tension. Test it by swinging the guard away from the fence and then releasing it.
WARNNING 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
WARNNING 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.

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 this 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 this Jointer is designed to run on 230volt 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. POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch

Adjustments

CAUTION
Models PJ882T and PJ-
882HHT have an industrial-grade low-friction corrosion-resistant coating on infeed and outfeed tables, fence, and rabbeting ledge.
While the coating is durable, it can be damaged if metal or other hard and/or sharp objects strike, gouge, or scratch the surface.
Significant damage to the coating may affect its performance. Use care when making adjustments to this machine.
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).
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
9

  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 rechecked, 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 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 moving the fence.
    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 racket (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.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
10

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.
  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).

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 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.

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 doublechecked 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 15 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).
    NOTE: On the front of the Jointer, the two outside cams are concealed by the hubs.POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
14You 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 (C1, Figure 22) with a 11/4″ 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 (C1) 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  (C2) 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.POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure 15

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.

WARNING
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).
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
16
    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.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
17Figure 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.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
18

  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.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
19

  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.

  14. Slightly loosen the five gib screws (see Figure 31) with an 8mm wrench. (NOTE: The springs below the knife will cause the knife to rise.)

  15. Turn the jack screw(s) with a hex wrench; clockwise to lower the setting of the knife in the cutterhead, counterclockwise to raise the setting of the knife.

  16. Use the edge of a board to push the knife  back down so that it is flush against the jack screws. See Figure 32. Tighten the gib screws only enough to keep the knife in position in the cutterhead. Do not fully tighten.

  17. Check the height of the knife again by using the gauge at front and back of the outfeed table. Make further adjustments to the jack screw(s) as needed.

  18. Repeat this process for each of the other two knives in turn. Do not fully tighten gib screws, only tighten them enough to keep the knife in position.

  19. For best results, knives should be set at approximately .015″ above the cutterhead. Knife height should not vary more than .002.003″ across the length  of the cutterhead. All three knives must be set at equal height in the cutterhead  and parallel to the outfeed table across their length.

  20. After the three (3) knives are positioned properly in the cutterhead and made snug, continue tightening the gib screws. The gib screws should be tightened in increments,  to prevent any distortion to the cutterhead orbuckling of  knives. Begin tightening the gib screws a little more on one knife. Start with the center screw and work your way to the ends. Do not fully tighten yet.

  21. Rotate the cutterhead to the other two knives in turn. Repeat step 19 for each knife.

  22. The tightening process should continue at least two more times, each time tightening the gib screws further on all three knives in turn. On the third time, the gib screws should all be firmly tightened. Before operating the jointer, make sure all gib screws are firmly tightened. A loose knife thrown from the cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury.

  23. After all knife adjustments are completed, the guards and fence assembly should be placed back on the machine before operating.

Outfeed Table Stop Screws
The stop screw (B, Figure 33) limits the amount of fall of the outfeed table. The stop screw has been pre-set at the factory, but if future adjustment is ever needed, simply loosen the hex nut (A, Figure 33) and turn the screw (B, Figure 33)  as needed with a 14mm wrench.
When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (A, Figure 33).
The screw (C, Figure 33) limits the rise of the outfeed table. If adjustment is needed, loosen the hex nut (D, Figure 33) and turn the screw (C, Figure 33) as needed with a 9mm hex wrench. When satisfied, re-tighten the hex nut (D, Figure 33).
Setting Infeed Table (Depth of Cut)

  1. Loosen locking handle (A, Figure 34).

  2. Move table adjustment arm (B, Figure 34) to raise or lower infeed table to the desired depth of cut, which is shown on the gauge via the pointer (C, Figure 34).
    NOTE: Do not exceed 1/8” maximum depth of cut. For deeper cuts, make several passes.

  3. Re-tighten locking handle (A, Figure 34).
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
21

Infeed Table Depth Stop
The knob (Figure 35) controls a depth stop.
When the infeed table is lowered, it will stop at the 1/8” depth mark.
To further lower the infeed table, such as for rabbeting operations, disengage the depth stop by pulling out on the knob, rotating the knob 90° and then releasing it. The infeed table can then be lowered all the way.
To re-engage the depth-stop, rotate the knob 90° until the knob snaps back in.
Infeed Table Stop Screws
The stop screws below the infeed table have the same function as those for the outfeed table. See “Outfeed Table Stop Screws” for instructions on adjustment.

Replacing Knives (Straight Cutterhead Only)
Jointer knives are extremely sharp. Use caution and proceed slowly when working with or around the cutterhead.

  1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

  2. Remove the belt guard so that you can  rotate the cutterhead by turning the motorpulley or by moving the drive belt. Do not grab the cutterhead itself to rotate it.

  3. Remove the old knives by loosening the square head gib screws with an 8mm wrench. See Figure 36. The springs in the cutterhead will raise the knife for easy removal. Remove knife and gib.

  4. Clean the gib and the knife slot. Sandwich the new knife and gib together and drop into slot. Make sure the knife is oriented properly in the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 36.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
23 IMPORTANT: To position the knives for rabbet cuts, take a shop scale with 1/32” graduations and place it against the end of the cutterhead.
    Slide the knife out until it is at the 1/32” mark on the scale; that is, the knife will now be 1/32” beyond the edge of the cutterhead. The gib should remain in normal position, even with the edge of the cutterhead. See Figure

  5. This adjustment will ensure that the knife clears the end of the gib and cutterhead and has good contact with the workpiece. (See the “Operation” section for further information on rabbeting procedures.)
    (NOTE: This same procedure can be used if a small nick develops in the knives; simply stagger the knives in the cutterhead to remove the effect of the nick, without having to replace the knives.)

  6. The height and parallelism of the knife in the slot, both for rabbeting and normal jointer work, must now be set properly, to ensure correct operation as well as minimize the hazard of kickback. Refer to “Setting Knives at Correct  Height and Parallel to Outfeed Table” on pages 18-20 for information on adjustment and tightening procedures for the knives.
    WARNING Before starting the jointer, make sure all gib screws are firmly tightened. A loose knife thrown from the cutterhead can cause severe or fatal injury.

Replacing or Rotating Knife Inserts (Helical Cutterhead Only)
Knife inserts are sharp; use caution when working with or around them.
The knife inserts on the model PJ-882HH and PJ-882HHT are four-sided. When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re- install it.
Use the provided star point screwdriver to remove the knife insert screw. See Figure 37a. It is advisable to rotate all inserts at the same time to maintain consistent cutting. However, if one or more knife inserts develop a nick, rotate only
those inserts that are affected.
Each knife insert has an etched reference mark so you can keep track of the rotations.
IMPORTANT: When removing or rotating inserts, clean saw dust from the screw, the insert, and the cutterhead platform. Dust accumulation between these elements can prevent the insert from seating properly and may affect the quality of the cut.
Before installing each screw, lightly coat screw threads with machine oil and wipe off excess.
Securely tighten each screw which holds the knife inserts before operating the planer!

WARNING Make sure all knife insert screws are tightened securely. Loose inserts can be propelled at high speed from a rotating cutterhead, causing injury.
Make sure the outfeed table is set level with the knife inserts (follow steps 1 thru 6 on page 18).
Eliminating “Play” in Tables
There are four set screws at the front of the jointer – two on the outfeed table and two on the infeed table – that will allow you to prevent “play” in the tables. (Figure 38 shows one of the set screws for the outfeed table.)
After a period of use, the copper tip (see item #27, page 41) which is attached to the end of the set screw (A, Figure 38) may become loose.
Resolve this as follows.

  1. Loosen the hex nut (B, Figure 38) with a 14mm wrench.

  2. Tighten the set screw (A, Figure 38) with a 5mm hex wrench. Do not overtighten the set screw, as it may prevent the table from being raised and lowered easily.

  3. Tighten hex nut (B, Figure 38).

  4. Repeat for the other set screws as needed.
    NOTE: The outfeed table is pre-set at the factory tighter than the infeed table. If you find the outfeed table difficult to move with the lifting handle, loosen the two set screws on the outfeed table, as just described.

Operating Controls

Start/Stop
Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is power connected to the Jointer, not just when the Jointer is running. Do not assume that no light means there is no power to the machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be no indication. Always check before use.
WARNING Do not rely on that no light means no power to the machine. Always check for power first. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Referring to Figure 39:
Start – Press the green start switch.
When power is connected to the machine, the green light is always on regardless of whether the Jointer is running or not.
Stop – Press the red switch to stop.
Reset – In the event that the Jointer stops without pressing the stop button, as the result of a tripped fuse or circuit breaker, etc.:
Press red button to reset on main switch.
Press the green button to restart the machine.
Safety Key
The start/stop switch on the Jointer comes equipped with a magnetic safety key. When in place on the switch as shown in Figure 39, the magnetic safety key trips a relay which will allow the machine to start and stop when the respective  switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the lock can be removed to make the machine inoperable and can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it to another magnetic surface.
When using the Jointer, place the key on the switch cover lining up the arrow on the key with the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate the key so that the arrow lines up with the LOCK arrow. This will prevent the safety key from coming loose from vibration when the machine is in use.

Operation

Models PJ882T and PJ-882HHT have an industrial-grade low-friction corrosion- resistant coating on infeed and outfeed tables, fence, and rabbeting ledge.
While the coating is durable, it can be damaged if metal or other hard and/or sharp objects strike, gouge, or scratch the surface.
Significant damage to the coating may affect its performance. Use care when operating the machine.
NOTE: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use  scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get the feel of operations before attempting regular work.
Stabilize long workpieces by using an assistant, or roller stands set level with the outfeed or infeed table surface.
The fence should be adjusted to create minimum exposure to the cutterhead during the jointing operation.
Check the following before operating the jointer:

  1. Outfeed table must be set level with the high point of the knives or knife inserts.
  2. Fence adjusted for minimum exposure of cutterhead and locked at desired angle.
  3. The cutterhead guard must be in place and operating properly (except when rabbeting).
  4. Infeed table set for desired depth of cut.
  5. Stand away from the cutterhead and turn the machine on for a few moments. Listen for any odd noises, rubbings, vibrations, etc. Identify and correct such problems before attempting operations on the jointer.
  6. Carefully check your workpiece for knots, holes, staples or any foreign material that might damage knives or pose a risk of kickback. Also check the workpiece for grain orientation (see “Direction of Grain” on page 26).

Hand Placement
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion toward the cutterhead.
After the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is transferred to the outfeed side and presses down on this part of the workpiece, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence. The right hand presses the workpiece forward and before the right hand reaches the cutterhead it should be moved to the work on the outfeed table. Never pass hands directly over the cutterhead. POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram
Jointer - Figure 27

Surfacing
WARNING Always use a hold down or push block when surfacing stock.
Jointing the face of stock, or surfacing, is shown in Figure 40. Adjust the infeed table for depth of cut. Cuts of approximately 1/16” at a time are recommended, as this allows better control over the material being surfaced. More passes can then be made to reach the desired depth.  Edge Jointing
This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set fence square with the table. Depth of cut should be the minimum required to obtain a straight edge. Do not make cuts deeper than 1/8″ in a single pass. Hold the best face of the workpiece firmly against the fence throughout the feed. See Figure 41.

Rabbeting
A rabbet cut requires removal of the guard. Use extreme caution and keep hands clear of cutterhead. Always re-install guard immediately after rabbeting operation is completed.
A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a board. See Figure 42. The width and thickness of the wood to be rabbeted depends upon the width and length of the rabbet. However, never rabbet a piece of wood less than 12” long.
Use push blocks to rabbet cut whenever possible. The rabbeting capacity is 1/2”.

  1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

  2. Set fence for desired width of rabbet.

  3. Check width of the rabbet by measuring the distance from the end of a knife in the cutterhead to the fence.
    IMPORTANT: Rabbeting can be done with the straight knife cutterhead only; it is not applicable with the helical cutterhead model.
    NOTE: The knives must be extended beyond the cutterhead by 1/32”. (see “Replacing Knives – Straight Cutterhead Only” on page 22 for this procedure).

  4. Re-connect power. It is easier and safer to take a series of shallow cuts. Lower the infeed table 1/32” at a time and make successive cuts until the desired depth of rabbet has been obtained. See Figure 42.
    POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
29

Jointing Short or Thin Work
When jointing short or thin work pieces, use a push block to eliminate all danger to the hands.
Two push blocks are shipped with your jointer.
You can also make your own easily from scrap material. Examples are shown in Figure 43.
Jointing Warped Surfaces
If the wood to be jointed is cupped or bowed, place the concave side down, and take light cuts until the surface is flat.
Avoid forcing such material down against the table – excessive pressure will spring it while passing the knives, and it will spring back and remain curved after the cut is completed.

Beveling
To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required angle and run the work piece across the knives while keeping it firmly against the fence and tables. Several passes may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
Although the fence may be tilted in or out for a bevel cut, it is recommended for safety reasons that the fence be tilted in toward the operator,  making a cradled cut.
Direction of Grain
Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain. This may result in chipped and splintered edges. See Figure 44. Feed with the grain to obtain a smooth surface, as shown in Figure 45.
Skewing (Shear Cutting)
When edging or facing material such as burl or birds-eye maple, it is not unusual to deface or mar the surface being finished. This is caused by the cutterhead knives at times cutting against the grain. In order to prevent the defacing or marring of this type of wood, it is necessary to skew the material being worked so that it crosses the knives at an angle.
The fence will allow for this type of cut:

POWERMATIC PJ-882 8 Inch Parallelogram Jointer - Figure
30

  1. Release the fence locking handle (A, Figure 46) and remove the two hex nuts and  washer (B, Figure 46) holding the fence to the slide bracket. Remove the fence assembly.
  2. Remove the key (C, Figure 46) from the fence support. If necessary, use a flat head screwdriver to pry up one end of the key.
  3. Replace the fence assembly at the desired angle across the cutterhead. See Figure 47.
    Secure the fence to the slide bracket with the hex nuts and washer (B, Figure 46), then tighten the fence locking handle (A, Figure 46).
    NOTE: When placing the fence assembly back into normal position, be sure to first install the key (C, Figure 46) into its slot.

Maintenance

Disconnect machine from  power source before doing any maintenance. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Models PJ882T and PJ- 882HHT have an industrial-grade low-friction corrosion- resistant coating on infeed and outfeed tables, fence, and rabbeting ledge.
While the coating is durable, it can be damaged if metal or other hard and/or sharp objects strike, gouge, or scratch the surface.
Significant damage to the coating may affect its performance. Use care when performing maintenance on this machine.
For model PJ-882 & PJ-882HH: The table and fence surfaces must be kept clean and free of rust for best results. Some users apply a thin coat of paste wax. Avoid waxes or protective sprays that contain silicone, as this can transfer to the workpiece and make it difficult for later finishes to adhere to the wood.
For model PJ-882 & PJ-882HH: Another option is talcum powder applied with a blackboard eraser rubbed in vigorously once a week; this will fill casting pores and form a moisture barrier. This method provides a tabletop that is slick  and allows rust rings to be easily wiped from the surface.
Important also is the fact that talcum powder will not stain wood or mar finishes as some other products.
Gum and pitch which collect on the knives cause excessive friction as the work continues, resulting in overheating of the knives, less efficient cutting, and consequent reduction in the life of the knives. Use oven cleaner or “gum and pitch  remover” to wipe this off the knives. Use caution when working around knives!

The bearings in the cutterhead are sealed for life and do not require lubrication.
The fence assembly should slide easily over the slide bracket. Keep the slide bracket, shown in Figure 48, lubricated with a good quality multipurpose grease. Do not get grease on the drive belt.
Do not place heavy objects on the tables or use the jointer as a storage table.
Sharpening Standard Knives
Knives should be kept sharp. This will contribute to better stock finish, longer machine life, and safer operation.
A jointer knife hone provides a simple way to sharpen knives. Hones are available from many woodworking supply stores. Carefully read any instructions that accompany the hone.

WARNING Use caution when working around sharp knives.
To remove the cutterhead, proceed as follows:

  1. Disconnect jointer from power source.

  2. Remove fence assembly from jointer.

  3. Lower both infeed and outfeed table.

  4. Remove belt guard and remove drive belt from around cutterhead pulley.

  5. Remove knives from cutterhead.

  6. Remove rabbeting ledge by loosening and removing the two hex cap screws and washers which secure it to the infeed table.

  7. Loosen the two bolts that secure the cutterhead to the base; these are accessed through the gap below the jointer base. See Figures 49 and 50. Place a wrench on each of the bolt heads and turn each bolt until the cutterhead is loosened.

  8. Lift cutterhead straight up from base.

  9. Remove pulley and both bearing housings. IMPORTANT: If the bearings need replacement, this should be done by qualified service personnel.
    Bearings are press fitted and must be removed or installed with an arbor press.

  10. To re-install cutterhead, reverse the above procedure. Before re-installing, make sure the machine’s curved seats of the base casting are free of dirt, dust or grease, to help ensure a tight fit.

  11. After the cutterhead has been installed, check the infeed and outfeed table settings in relationship to the cutterhead.
    TIP: You may wish to keep an extra cutterhead on hand to maintain shop productivity.
