  • Page 34: Knives

    Knives (Model G9953 Only) Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the prop- er operation 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.
