REPLACING CUTTER INSERTS
WARNING!
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE.
WARNING!

EXTREMELY SHARP and can cause serious injury!!! ***
WARNING!
NEVER GRASP THE CUTTERHEAD BY HAND!
This 12-1/2" cutterhead is equipped with 24 indexable cutter inserts. Each cutter insert can be
rotated to reveal one of its two cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or
damaged, simply rotate it 90° to reveal a fresh cutting edge.
In addition, each cutter insert has a reference mark on one corner. As the cutter insert is rotated,
the reference mark location can be used as an indicator of which edges are used and which are
new. When the reference mark revolves back around to its starting position, the cutter should be
replaced.
WARNING! NEVER GRASP CUTTERHEAD
BY HAND AS THIS WILL
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
To rotate or change cutter inserts:
1. Face the rear of the machine. Remove the Dust Port and Chute. Refer back to the section
labeled ATTACHING DUST PORT in the ASSEMBLY section page 13 for information on
removal.
2. Use the handle to lower the cutterhead assembly down to about 1
” on the scale.
3. Insert the supplied Hex wrench through the hole located on the side of the machine.
Rotate the cutterhead to a position where a cutter inserts is visible. SEE FIG. A. next page.
(You may have to raise or lower cutterhead to be able to insert the Hex wrench into the
cutterhead)
4. While holding the hex wrench to prevent cutterhead rotation, remove the cutter inserts
screw using the provided Torx wrench allowing the tip to be removed.
5. Carefully clean all dust and dirt off the cutter tip and the cutterhead seat. Replace or rotate
the cutter insert so a fresh sharp edge is facing outward. If available, use pitch remover to
be sure all wood residue is off the cutterhead, cutter insert, and screws, before attempting
to rotate or replace them. Using a shot of compressed air is also helpful. Be sure to wear
safety glasses when using compressed air.
