8.1 Knife Removal
1. Clear the cutter table. Place chipboard directly under the knife to prevent nicking if the blade
hits the table. On the TC touch screen menu choose “MAINTENANCE” and then “KNIFE
CHANGE”. Select “Knife Adjust Mode” then press and hold both cut buttons until the knife
and clamp reach the table. Now release the buttons (the knife and clamp should stay down).
2. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT, (See Power Lockout Procedure on pg. 5).
3. If equipped with the paper deflector option, lock it down by screwing the lock knob all the way
in (Figure 10).

4. Back off the knife adjusting screws on the top of the knife bar, (Figure 11), as far as they will
go (counter-clockwise). A new knife will cut deeper than a knife that has been ground several
times. If the adjusters are not backed off, damage can result to the new knife and/or the
cutting stick.

5. Restore power to the machine and turn it ON. Follow the prompts on the screen to raise the
