The fence lock handle
is designed
so that it may be
disengaged
after
use on the lock nut and will hang
in a neutral
position
as shown.
The angle
between
the fence and the table
may be changed
for beveling
operations by loosening
the fence angle lock nut. The
angle
selected
for the bevel
cut
is indicated
on the
protractor
scale.
After
changing
the fence
position
as described
above,
check
carefully
that
the fence
angle lock nut is secure before
proceeding
with a cut-
ting operation.
The handwheel
when turned
will raise or lower the
front
table,
thus regulating
the depth
of cut as in-
dicated
by the depth
of cut pointer
and scale.
ADJUSTMENTS:
If at any time
the cut obtained
should
vary from
that
indicated
on
the
depth
of
cut
scale
the
following
adjustment
may
be
made.
Set
the
front
and
rear
tables
at the
same
level
and
check
with
a straight-
edge.
Loosen
the screw
X2951
holding
the pointer
29719,
and
shift
the
pointer
until
it indicates
zero
on the scale.
Tighten
the screw
securely
after
making
the above
adjustment°
If a 90 ° setting
of the fence
angle
protractor
does
not produce
square
cuts
the fence
may be reset square
with
the table
by using
an accurate
tri-square.
After
the 90 ° relation
between
the fence
and
table
has been
established,
the screw
X2951
holding
the protractor
pointer
may
be loosened
and
the
pointer
reset
at 0.
If a gouge
or step
is produced
at the end
of a cut
it is an
indication
that
the
rear
table
is too
low.
Likewise.
the cut may
diminish
or taper
as the work
is pushed
through
as a result
of a high
rear
table.
Either
of these
conditions
may be rectified
by aligning
the
table
surfaces
in
the
following
manner.
Lay
a
straightedge
across
both
tables
as shown
in figure
2.
By adjusting
any
of the six
leveling
jacks
18516
as
needed,
set
the tables
so that
they
are level
and
in
the
same
plane,
so
that
when
the
cutter
head
is
turned
slowly
by
hand,
the
knives
-will touch
the
straightedge
lightly
at either
side
of the
table.
The
leveling
jacks
18516
may
be
adjusted
by loosening
the lock
screws
X232.
After
the
jacks
have
been
adjusted
and
the
tables
are
in their
proper
relation
to each
ether
and
to the cutter
head,
hold
the jacks
with
a wrench
so that
they
will
not
turn
while
re-
tightening
the lock screws.
Trial
cuts
should
be
made
after
any
adjustment
or repositioning
to make
sure
that
no other
control
unit
has
been
disturbed
and
that
all
controls
are
f,,ncHonin_
it) proper
r_lztion
to each
other.
Note:
After
a few hours
of operation
tighten
all
pulley
set screws.
SHARPENING THE BLADES:
The
three
4_
inch high
speed
steel
cutter
knives
1812 7 will give satisfactory
cutting surface for many
hours
of operation
without
reg_nding,
if they
are
honed
occasionally
with
a fine
abrasive
stone
to re-
touch
the edge.
This
operation
can
be performed
as
shown
in figure
3.
It is not necessary
to remove
the
cutter
blades
from
the
head.
Before
honing,
cover
part
of
the stone
with
paper
as shown
to prevent
injury
to the
table
surface.
For
satisfactory
results,
the original
bevel
angle
must
be
maintained
on the
knives.
With
the
handwheel
adjust
the
front
table
level
so that
the stone
when
resting
on the table
will
touch
the
full width
of the
knife
bevel.
Secure
the
cutter
head
in
the
desired
position
by
inserting
a
wooden
wedge
between
it and
the
table
as shown.
Place
the paper-covered
portion
of the stone
on the
table
and
by moving
the stone
back
and
forth,
hone
the full length
of each
knife
in turn.
The
small
burr
on the flat side
of the blades
may
be removed
by a few light strokes
with a fine abrasive
stick
or a piece
of emery
cloth.
CAUTION !
To insure
safe
operation
of the machine,
blades
should
not be reinstalled
which
have been ground
down to less than 9/16
inch in width.
RESETTING BLADES:
if the blades
are removed
from
the cutter
head,
ex-
treme
care
should
be
exercised
at time
of replace-
ment.
Set both
tables
at the same
level---check
with
an
accurate
straight-edge
as shown
in fig 2.
The
dis-
tance
from
the
table
surfaces
to
the
cutter
head
should
be
the same
at each
end
of the cutter
head.
Adjustment
of the
tables
may
be
made
with
the
leveling
jacks
as explained
under
"'adjustments".
Install
the
blades
so that
they
project
1/16
inch
at left hand
end
of the cutter
head.
The
edges
should
project
slightly
above
the level
of the table
surfaces.
Clamp
the blades
lightly
in position.
The
flat point
of
each set screw
must
engage
the bevel
on the face
of
each wedge.
