approximately
1

17. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it
extends over cutterhead, and use cutterhead
pulley to rotate cutterhead until one of the
knives or inserts is at top dead center (their
highest point during rotation), as illustrated in
Figures 29–30.
The outfeed table MUST be level with
cutterhead knives or inserts when they are
at top dead center (at their highest point
during rotation). Otherwise, the workpiece
cannot properly feed past the cutterhead,
which may cause a kickback hazard for the
operator.

When outfeed table height is correctly set,
knife or insert (at top dead center) will barely
touch straightedge, as illustrated in
Figure

— If knife or insert lifts straightedge off table
or is below straightedge, then outfeed
table height must be reset (refer to
Setting

detailed instructions).
