Changing the spindle moulder cutter
Turn the cutter block once by hand to check it doesn't foul anywhere. Reconnect the machine to the mains
supply. Give the machine a 'quick' burst check ( i.e. quick ON-OFF) to ensure everything is O.K. If everything is
satisfactory, continue to use the machine. Check the old cutter block for damage, sharpness, resin buildup, etc.,
clean if necessary and send for refurbishment/resharpening if required. If the cutter block is not to be
re-sharpened, clean and pack away in its stowage case.
