KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE
ADJUSTMENTS
In order to do accurate work, the knives must be exactly
level with the outfeed table. To check and adjust,
proceed as follows:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2. Loosen lock lever (A) Fig. 39, and lower the infeed
table by pushing handle (B) down. Remove cutterhead
guard (C).
3. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table, extending
over the cutterhead as shown in Fig. 40.
4. CAREFULLY rotate the cutterhead by turning the belt
by hand. The knives should just touch the straight edge.
5. If the knife is high or low at either end, slightly turn the
four screws (D) Fig. 41, in the knife locking bar clockwise
to loosen using the wrench (E) supplied. Then adjust the
height of the knife by turning the knife raising screws (F)
Fig. 42, counterclockwise to lower and clockwise to raise
the knife.
NOTE: If the knife is to be lowered it will be necessary to
wear protective gloves and carefully push down on the
knife with a piece of scrap wood after screws (F) have
been turned.
6. Repeat these procedures for adjusting the remaining
two knives.
7. If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown
in Fig. 43, and the finished surface will be curved.
8. If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged
at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 44.
9. As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the
knives for 6 to 8 inches. The wood should rest firmly on
both tables as shown in Fig. 45, with no open spaces
under the finished cut.
