Maintenance - King Industrial KC-6HJC Instruction Manual

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY MAKE
SURE THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF AND HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.
Periodic Maintenance as Required
Over time with use and wear some or all of the following periodic maintenance op-
erations may be required:
Replacing/Rotating Cutterhead Inserts
The cutterhead is equipped with 12 cutter inserts with 2 cutting surfaces each. To
maintain even wear and smooth jointing results, always rotate or replace all 12 in-
serts each time replacement is needed.
NOTE: Original King Canada replacement cutter inserts (model KW-204) can be
ordered through your local retailer.
1) For unobstructed access to the cutterhead, use the supplied hex. key to loosen
the round head allen screws (A) Fig.14 that secure the cutterhead guard (B) to
the front of the jointer, then remove and set aside the cutterhead guard assembly.
2) Use the supplied hex. key (A) Fig.15 to immobilize the cutterhead shaft (B) while
removing each of the inserts (C) with the supplied Torx wrench (D).
3) Before replacing or rotating the inserts take a moment to clean the screw hous-
ing, inserts (if rotating rather than replacing), and screws with a solvent such as
lacquer thinner.
Note: There is an etched reference mark on each insert to help keep track of which
cutting surface to use. Make sure to rotate all inserts so that the reference mark sits
in the same position on all inserts. All cutter inserts have a flat side, this side must
be positioned against the flat of the cutterhead.
Belt Replacement
1) To replace the drive belt remove the 4 round head allen screws (A) Fig.16 that
hold the fence support arm (B) and remove the fence assembly from the jointer.
2) Undo the screw (C) and remove the belt cover (D).
3) Slowly rotate one of the pulleys by hand while pulling outward on the belt to re-
move it from the pulleys.
4) Install a new belt (A) Fig.17 onto the lower pulley first, then stretch part of the
belt onto the upper pulley and rotate the pulley by hand to seat the belt fully on
the pulleys.
5) Re-Install the belt cover and fence assembly before plugging in and operating
the jointer.
Leveling/Aligning the Tables (parallelogram table adjustment system)
The jointer tables are aligned and leveled at the factory but in some rare cases one
or both tables may become mislagined and require adjustment. Each table is
equipped with adjustment screws to allow for table leveling and alignment.
NOTE: It is a very difficult adjustment to make. We highly recommend that any par-
allelogram adjustment to the tables be done by a qualified service technician.
