Replacing Knives (JJ-6CSX)
Planer knives are dangerously
sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting,
removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into
the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Remove blade guard by turning the knob
(A, Fig. 23) clockwise while lifting up on blade
guard.
Blades are sharp! Use great
care when hands are around
blade area!
3. Loosen four screws (A, Fig. 24).
Note: Loosen screws by turning in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the infeed table.
Carefully remove the knife (C, Fig. 24) and the
lock bar with screws (B, Fig. 24).
Repeat for the other two blades.
4. Before assembly, clean all parts thoroughly
and clear cutterhead knife slots of any dust or
debris.
5. Insert knife into the cutterhead channel making
sure it faces the proper direction.
6. Insert lock bar and screws and tighten to hold

when the top of the blade is 1/16" above the
cutterhead. Do not tighten firmly at this time.

the same height in the cutterhead, see Setting
