Checking/Adjusting
Table Parallelism
If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each
other, then poor cutting results and kickback may occur.
Checking Outfeed Table
To check the outfeed table parallelism, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the cutterhead guard and fence.
3. Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the front
of the machine, and loosen the jam nuts and adjust-
ment bolts located at the back of the machine (see
Figure 50).
4. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it
hangs over the cutterhead, then move the outfeed
table until the straightedge just touches the
cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 51 (rotate the
cutterhead if necessary).
5. Place the straightedge in the positions shown in
Figure 52. In each position, the straightedge should
touch the cutterhead and sit flat on the outfeed
table.
— If the straightedge touches the cutterhead and
sits flat across the outfeed table in each position,
then the outfeed table is already parallel with the
cutterhead. Check the infeed table to make sure
that it is parallel with the outfeed table.
— If the straightedge does not touch the cutterhead
and sit flat on the outfeed table in all of the posi-
tions, then the outfeed table is not parallel with
the cutterhead. Correct the outfeed table parallel-
ism, then correct the infeed table parallelism (refer
to Page 33).
Checking Infeed Table
To check the infeed table parallelism, do these steps:
1. Follow all the steps for checking the outfeed table
parallelism to first make sure that the outfeed table
is parallel with the cutterhead.
2. Raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead.
