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.

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.

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.
