table by pushing handle (B) down. Remove cutterhead

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.

two knives.

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.
8. If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged
at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 44.
7. If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown
