the same manner.
6. Using wrench supplied, lower the two knife adjustment blocks by
turning screws (F) counterclockwise in all three slots of the cutterhead.
7. Before replacing knives make certain the knife locking bars are
thoroughly clean and free of gum and pitch.
8. Replace the knife locking bars (D) Fig. 41, and knives (C) into each slot
in the cutterhead.
WARNING: CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN
INSERTING THE KNIVES AS THE CUTTING EDGES ARE VERY
SHARP.
Push the knife down as far as possible and snug up the five
screws (B) Fig. 40, three of which are shown, by turning each screw
counterclockwise just enough to hold the knife in position. Replace the
remaining two knives in the same manner.
NOTE: KNIVES MUST
BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY AS SHOWN IN FIG. 42.
9. The knives are adjusted correctly when the cutting edge of the knife
extends out 0.060
˝
from the cutterhead diameter.
10. Carefully rotate the cutterhead (G) Fig. 43, until the round portion of
the cutterhead is on top as shown.
11. Place a 0.060
˝
feeler gage (H) Fig. 43, on the cutterhead and using a
straight edge (J) on the rear table adjust the height of the rear table
until it is 0.060
˝
above the cutting head diameter, as shown.
12. Lock the rear table in position and remove the feeler gage.
13. Lower the infeed table and place a straight edge (J) Fig. 44, on the
outfeed table extending over the cutterhead as shown.
14. Rotate the cutterhead by hand until the knife is at its highest point at
each end of the cutterhead. To raise the knife, use wrench (E) Fig. 44,
and turn raising screw clockwise until the knife just touches the
straight edge (J) on each end and center of the cutterhead when the
knife is at its highest point.
When you are certain the knife is adjusted
properly, tighten the five locking screws (B) Fig. 44, three of which are
shown, by turning them counterclockwise.
15. Adjust the remaining two knives in the same manner.
