Try to fit feeler gauge or combination of feeler
gauges 0.062" to 0.069" between bottom
of ruler and cutterhead body, as shown in
Figure 59
.
— If feeler gauge slides with slight resistance
between ruler and cutterhead and no gaps
appear, go to Step 5.
— If feeler gauge does not slide with slight
resistance between ruler and cutterhead,
or if gaps appear, go to Correcting
Outfeed Table Parallelism

before proceeding to Step 5.
Checking Jointer
Table Parallelism
The outfeed table is preset by the factory parallel
with the cutterhead. However, it is critical to check
this setting. If the tables are not parallel with the
cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results
and kickback can occur.

Checking Outfeed Table Parallelism
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Put on heavy leather gloves, then remove
cutterhead guard and fence.
3.
Place straightedge on outfeed table so it
hangs over cutterhead in one of the positions
shown in Figure 58.

5.
Continue placing straightedge in remaining
positions shown in Figure 58. In each posi-
tion, feeler gauge measurement should be
nearly identical.
— If outfeed table height above cutterhead
is equal across table in each position,
then outfeed table is already parallel with
cutterhead. Go to Checking Infeed Table
Parallelism,
on Page 46.
— If outfeed table height is not equal across
table in any of the positions, then outfeed
table is not parallel with cutterhead.
Correct outfeed table parallelism, then
correct infeed table parallelism.
