Editing Instructions:Laguna JX12 ShearTec Jointer (section)

== Operating Procedure ==

# Verify that the in-feed cut depth is correct (maximum 1/16”). Turn off the equipment and pull the locking pin before adjusting the depth of cut. Do not adjust outfeed depth.
# Adjust the fence such that the distance between the left edge of the knives and the fence is 1 cm (1/2 inch) wider than the surface being jointed.
# Ensure the fence is locked in place. Use a precision square to verify that it is square.
# Ensure the guard can swing freely.
# Stand to the left of the workpiece and out of the kickback zone. Ensure that nobody is standing in the kickback zone (eg at the assembly table).
# Turn on the jointer.
# Using a push block in the left hand if required, press firmly down and to the right, registering the edge against the fence and controlling the board’s motion. With a push block in the right hand if required, feed the board forwards. 
# Check the workpiece for squareness.

=== Auxiliary fence ===

* The auxiliary fence is used for better control and push-pad clearance, when jointing low material or when material is better controlled by a low fence (Fig. 15 & 16). To operate this fence, with power OFF, slightly lift from top of main fence to unlock and rotate until it is securely against the table and side of the main fence. When not in use, rotate to top of fence and lower on top of fence to lock in place. (as per manual p22)
