Adjusting The Outfeed Table
CAUTION: The following operation must
be done with the CT056 Jointer
disconnected from its power source.
For accurate results from your CT056
Jointer, the outfeed table MUST be level
with the cutter head knives at their highest
point. The knives must be parallel to the
outfeed table and project equally from the
cutter head.
To achieve this, loosen the outfeed table lock. Using a straightedge, lay it across
the outfeed table where the cutter head opening is located.
Rotate the cutter head slowly by hand by rotating the drive belt sheave at the
rear of tool. CAUTION: Do not attempt to rotate the cutter head itself as the
knives are extremely sharp.
If all the (3) knives appear to high or too low, rotate the outfeed table height
wheel accordingly. Tighten the outfeed table lock.
The knife edges must just touch the straightedge. If one knife is too high or too
low, the knives must be re-set.
Adjusting Knives
A knife may
be reset by
loosening
the 5 lock
screws on
the cutter
head for that
particular
knife. Set your straightedge over the center of that knife so that the edge of the
knife touches it. Snug the center lock screw. Reposition the straightedge to the
ends of the knife and repeat the procedure. When it is determined that the knife
is parallel through its full length, secure the locking screws.
