Positioning Chip
Deflector
Chip Deflector Gap Setting .............................
When properly distanced from the cutterhead, the
chip deflector directs the chips into the dust hood,
and keeps them from falling onto the outfeed roller
and being pressed into the workpiece.
Tools Needed
Phillips Screwdriver #2 ...................................... 1
Fine Ruler or Calipers ....................................... 1
To adjust chip deflector gap:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove dust hood, top cover, and belt cover.
3.
Use cutterhead pulley to rotate cutterhead
until a knife/insert reaches closest distance
to chip deflector (see Figure 72), then mea-
sure distance between knife/insert and chip
deflector.

Although correctly set at the factory, the table
height scale can be adjusted for accuracy if it
becomes necessary.
Tools Needed
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Scrap Piece of Stock ......................................... 1
Calipers ............................................................. 1
To re-position scale:
1.
Plane a scrap piece of stock until it is flat and
of even thickness along its length.
Note: Turn board over between each pass.
2.
Use calipers to measure board thickness.
3.
If there is a discrepancy between board thick-
ness and reading on table height scale, loos-
en both screws shown in Figure 73, adjust
scale in relation to pointer, then re-tighten
screws.
