Outfeed Table Adjustment

To check this alignment proceed as follows:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from acci-
dental start, made sure switch is "OFF" and plug is
not connected to power source outlet.
1. Raise or lower the outfeed table as required, by turning
the outfeed table knob, until the outfeed table is exactly
level with the knives of the cutterhead at their highest
point of revolution.
2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table, extending
over the cutterhead as shown.
3. Rotate the cutterhead by hand. The blades should just
touch the straightedge. If a knife is too low or too high
at either end, readjust knife per "Cutter Knife Adjust-
ment Replacement" procedure.
4. After the outfeed table has been set at the correct
height, lock in place using wing screw table locks. It
should not be changed except after sharpening knives.
5. If the outfeed table is too high, finished surface will be
curved as shown.
6. When the outfeed table is too low, the work will be
gouged at the end of the cut.
7. As a final check of the outfeed table adjustment, run a
piece of wood slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches;
it should rest firmly on both tables, as shown, with no
open space under the finished cut.
