HF Jointer

[hd5]

I just got the 6" HF jointer and have it put together. However I have something left over that I can't find a place for and it's not in the book.
There is a steel rod about 6" long with a fork looking thing on each end held on by e-clips. It is stamped 6" on each of the forks. What is it????

That piece of equipment took me longer to put together than anything I've ever tackled.

Thanks Dan

Thanks Lchien,
I was wondering if maybe that's what it was and got left in the box at the factory.
I looked the book over good and couldn't find any reference to it.

Any way I stood back and turned it on and nothing smoked or flew off.

I've got the same piece that I've never found a home for. My first thought was that it was some sought of tool for knife adjustment, but I havent found a use for it yet.
