9. Clean all dust and dirt off insert and cutterhead
pocket from which insert was removed, and
replace insert so a fresh, sharp edge is facing
outward.
— 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 rotational sequencing.
Note: Proper cleaning is critical to achiev-
ing a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped
between insert and cutterhead will slightly
raise insert, and make noticeable marks on
your workpieces the next time you cut.
10. Lubricate Torx screw threads with a light
machine oil, wipe excess oil off threads, and
torque Torx screw to 48–50 inch pounds.
Note: Excess oil may squeeze between insert
and cutterhead or in screw hole, thereby
lifting insert or screw slightly and affecting
workpiece finishes.
11. Install belt guard and raise infeed table.
12. Install cutterhead guard back over cutterhead,
making sure that spring tension in guard
is properly set so guard springs back over
cutterhead when it is pulled back and released.

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
To help ensure safe operation and best cutting
results, set the outfeed table height level with the
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.
