Clean all dust and dirt off insert and cutterhead
9.
pocket from which insert was removed, and
replace insert so a fresh, sharp edge is facing
outward.
—If all four insert cutting edges have been
used, replace insert with a new one. Always
position reference dot in same position
when installing a new insert to aid in rota-
tional sequencing.
Note: Proper cleaning is critical to achiev-
ing a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped
between insert and cutterhead will slightly
raise insert, and make noticeable marks on
your workpieces the next time you cut.
10. Lubricate Torx screw threads with a light
machine oil, wipe excess oil off threads, and
torque Torx screw to 48–50 inch pounds.
Note: Excess oil may squeeze between
insert and cutterhead or in screw hole, there-
by lifting insert or screw slightly and affecting
workpiece finishes.
11. Install belt guard and raise infeed table.
12. Install cutterhead guard back over cutterhead,
making sure that spring tension in guard
is properly set so guard springs back over
cutterhead when it is pulled back and
released, as shown in Checking/Adjusting
Cutterhead Guard on Page 39.
