Adjustments - Steel City 30-200 Owner's Manual

OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENT
The outfeed table must be EXACTLY level with the knives
when they are at their highest point of revolution. The height
of the outfeed table should be checked and adjusted prior
to first use and also periodically to compensate for knife
wear and upon knife replacement.
WARNING
!
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
1. Make sure the jointer is disconnected from the power
source.
2. To ease the procedure, you can remove the cutterhead
guard and the fence.
3. Set a straightedge onto the outfeed table so that it sits
over the cutterhead but does not close the gap between
the tables and touch the infeed table. Fig. 17
