the out-feed table with the curved
section sitting over the knife and
cutter block.
Using the Hex key, Adjust the blades
if needed so that they just touch the
curved section of the setting jig.
Tighten the 5 locking bar bolts and
ensure it is firmly locked in place.
Repeat these steps for the second
knife. Check that the blades do not
contact the edge of the table.
