POWER SUPPLY

Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
WARNING
Electrocution, shock, fire or damage to equipment may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amper­age a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating ………………… 5.9A
The full-load current is not the maximum
amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw
additional amps beyond the full-load rating. If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient
length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result-especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these
hazards, avoid overloading the machine dur­ing operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.
Model T32540 (Mfd. Since 10/20)
&WARNING
Serious injury could occur if you connect machine to power before completing setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.
120V Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

• Voltage …………………….. 110V, 115V, 120V
• Cycle …………………………………………. 60 Hz
• Phase …………………………….. Single-Phase
• Power Supply Circuit ……………. 15 Amps

A power supply circuit includes all electri­cal equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
CAUTION
For your own safety and protection of property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring prac­tices or electrical codes in your area.
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit­where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali­fied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
When servicing use only identical replace­ment parts.
Extension Cords
When using extension cords, make sure the cords are rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are marked with a “W-A” or a “W” to signify their rating. Always check to make sure that the exten­sion cords are in good working order and free of any type of damage, such as exposed wires, cuts, creased bends, or missing prongs.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes. When using extension cords, always choose the shortest cord possible, with the greatest sized gauge.
Below is a list of minimum gauge sizes needed for running this tool at different lengths:

• 25 Feet …………………………………… 16AWG
• 50 Feet …………………………………… 14AWG

Note: The Model T32540 drills dowel­ing holes spaced 1 ¼” (32mm) apart.

Workpiece Preparation
Properly mark your workpieces to avoid incorrect doweling placement and wasted material. The following example illustrates a typical doweling layout.

Laying Out Dowels

1. Place edges of (2) workpieces flush against each other on a smooth, flat surface. Verify board ends line up.

2. Place marks 2½”-3″ from each end of one board.
   Note: If distance between marks is greater than 6″, place additional marks at 4″-6″ intervals. Doweling location marks.

3.  Use a square to draw layout lines across both boards, then make regis­tration marks on edge of each board to ensure correct edge will be drilled.

Layout lines and registration marks on pair of boards to be joined.

Securing Workpiece
Your workpiece must be properly secured before drilling. The drilling operation push­es the edge of the workpiece, which can cause an improperly secured workpiece to shift on the workbench, resulting in personal injury or damage to the tool or workpiece. Use clamps to secure both ends of the workpiece to the workbench. The edge of the workpiece should slightly hang over the edge of the workbench . Example of workpiece clamped to workbench.
Note: Clamps should be placed at least 3″ from any cut marks to prevent interference with doweling jointer.

Positioning Tool
The doweling jointer should always be positioned perpendicular to the workpiece in order to accurately drill joining surfaces . Tool positioned perpendicular to workpiece.
We recommend using the weight of the machine to assist with alignment and guide the direction of operation.
If holes need to be drilled too far from an edge to use the fence, set the fence angle to 0° so that the fence and tool face are flush. Tool positioned freely on workpiece.
The doweling jointer can then be positioned freely. ALWAYS ensure tool is secure before starting drilling operations.

Drilling Doweling Holes
The Model T32540 is capable of drilling holes for ¼”-1/,s” dowels.

To drill doweling holes:

1. Place fence on workpiece so viewer center line is aligned with layout line, as shown  Make sure tool face contacts edge of workpiece.
   Doweling jointer aligned with workpiece.

2.  Turn doweling jointer ON and allow motor to reach full speed.

3.  With both hands holding tool, slow­ly push drill bits into workpiece, as shown making sure viewer lines are aligned with layout line on workpiece, as described in Step 1. Doweling jointer operation.

4.  Once drill bits reach full depth, slide jointer body backward, allowing bits to retract into base.

5.  Turn doweling jointer OFF and wait for motor to come to a complete stop before setting tool down.

Gluing Dowels
Once all doweling holes have been drilled, test-fit dowels with a “dry fit” prior to the glue-up. Place a dowel in each groove, and fit the pieces together to check for proper alignment. Once a proper fit is verified, apply glue to workpiece edges and holes, insert dowels into holes, then clamp according to the needs of the material and the glue manu­facturer’s instructions.

Using Tool Jigs
The Model T32540 is equipped with jig teeth and a jig bar to enable fast and accurate drilling with various doweling jigs (not included) for high volume, repeti­tious use. The operator can also construct shop-made doweling jigs for this tool, but building such a jig is beyond the scope of this manual.
Note: Properly measure and mark your workpieces to avoid incorrect doweling placement and wasted material.
