W1755 6" Parallelogram Jointer Adjusting/Replacing Knives Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper oper- ation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.
Page 64
W1755 6" Parallelogram Jointer The Model W1755 comes with both jack screws and springs inside the cutterhead to provide two options for adjusting the knives (see Figure 46). Note: Only one of these options is needed to set the knives—Step 5 gives the details. To adjust/replace the knives, do these steps: 1.
