Cutter Knife Sharpening

The knives can be honed individually with an ordinary oil-
stone.
Make sure your oilstone is not worn in the center. It must
be flat.
Be sure to remove the burr on the flat side.
WARNING: The cutter knives are extremely sharp.
Do not let your hand or fingers touch the cutter
knives.
If the knives are nicked they must be replaced or
reground. They can be reground several times until they
become 9/16" wide. Never install unbalanced knives
or reground knives less than 9/16" wide.
Have your knives reground by someone who is compe-
tent. Look under "Sharpening Services" in the "Yellow
Pages" of your telephone directory.
NOTE: The knives may have a second, very small
ground surface very close to the sharpened edge of the
blade. Hone only the edge of the blade which will be
doing the cutting.

Adjusting Table Extension

The table extension is adjusted at the factory and should
not require any additional adjustments. In the event that it
shifted during shipping, align it to the outfeed table as fol-
lows.
1. Loosen the 2 hex head screws that attach the exten-
sion to the outfeed table.
2. Using a straight edge, align the extension to be flush
with the outfeed table.
3. Tighten the two screws and recheck the alignment.
