Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as 
explained under 

“CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND 

REPLACING KNIVES.”

2.

Place the gage block (A) Fig. 42, on the table directly
underneath the cutterhead, as shown. Using a 
0.040" feeler gage (B) placed on top of the gage 
block, raise or lower the head assembly until one of
the knives just touches the feeler gage when the 
knife is at its lowest point. Then tighten the head 
locking knobs.

3.

Move the gage block (A) Fig. 43, minus the feeler 
gage, under one end of the infeed roller (C). The 
bottom of the infeed roller (C) should just touch the
top of the gage block (A), as shown.

4.

If the height of the infeed roller must be adjusted, 
loosen nut (D) Fig. 43, and turn adjusting screw (E) 
until that end of the infeed roller just touches the top
of the gage block. Then tighten nut (D).

5.

Repeat this adjustment with the gage block on the 
opposite end of the infeed roller.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE

.

1.

Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as 
explained under “

CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND 

REPLACING KNIVES.”

2.

Place the gage block (A) Fig. 44, on the table directly
underneath the cutterhead, as shown. Using a 
0.040" feeler gage (B) Fig. 44, placed on top of the 
gage block as shown, raise or lower the head 
assembly until one of the knives just touches the 
feeler gage when the knife is at its lowest point. 
Then tighten the head locking knobs.

3.

Move the gage block (A) Fig. 45, minus the feeler 
gage, under the end of the outfeed roller (C). The 
bottom of the out-feed roller (C) should just touch the
top of the gage block (A).

4.

If the height of the outfeed roller must be adjusted, 
loosen nut (D) Fig. 45, and turn screw (E) until the
