5. Put on heavy leather gloves to protect fingers

6. Carefully clean away all sawdust or debris
from top of insert, Torx screw, and surround-
ing area (see Figure below).

7.
Remove Torx screw and insert, then carefully
clean away all dust and debris from insert
and insert pocket in cutterhead.
IMPORTANT: This step is critical for achiev-
ing a smooth finish with cutting operations.
Dirt or dust trapped under insert during instal-
lation will slightly raise insert in cutterhead,
which will leave marks on workpiece after
jointing.
Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or a
vacuum nozzle to clean cutterhead pocket.
8. Re-install insert with a sharp cutting edge
facing outward. Make sure insert is properly
seated in cutterhead pocket before securing.
— If all four insert cutting edges have been
used, replace insert with a new one. Always
position reference dot in same position
when installing a new insert to aid in rota-
tional sequencing.
9. Lubricate Torx screw threads with a small
amount of light machine oil, wipe excess off,
and torque screw to 48–50 inch/pounds.
IMPORTANT: If too much oil is applied to the
threads, excess will attempt to squeeze out of
threaded hole as you install insert and force it
to raise slightly, making it out of alignment.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
To help ensure safe operation and best cutting
results, set the outfeed table height level with
the knives/inserts when they are at top-dead-
center (TDC). If the outfeed table is set too low,
the workpiece will be tapered from front to back
or there will be snipe (a gouge in the end of the
board that is uneven with the rest of the cut). If the
outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit
the edge of the outfeed table during operation,
increasing the chance of kickback.
