Adjustment of Pressure Bar
The pressure bar should be set even with the
lowest point of knife. Make sure the knives are
set properly see the “Setting / Changing Knives”
section on page 11 prior to making any
adjustments.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a hard wood gauge under a knife in
cutterhead. Raise table until wood gauge
contacts the knife in its lowest position.
3. Place wood block (A, Figure 17) under the
left side of pressure bar (B, Figure 17). The
top of wood gauge should just contact the
pressure bar. If it doesn’t, loosen jam nut
(C, Figure 18) and turn the adjusting screw
(D, Figure 18) to raise, or lower the pressure
bar until it contacts wood gauge. Repeat for
opposite side of the pressure bar.
Adjustment of Out-feed Rollers
The out-feed rollers should be set 0.02” below
the lowest point of knife. Make sure the knives
are set properly see the “Setting / Changing
Knives” section on page 11 prior to making any
adjustments.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a hard wood gauge (A, Figure 14)
under a knife in the cutterhead. Place a
0.02” feeler gauge (B, Figure 14) on top of
wood block and raise table until the gauge
contacts the knife in its lowest position.
3. Remove feeler gauge and place wood block
(E, Figure 19) under the left side of out-feed
roller (F, Figure 19). The top of wood gauge
should just contact the out-feed roller. If it
doesn’t, loosen jam nut (G, Figure 18) and
turn the adjusting screw (H, Figure 18) to
raise, or lower the out-feed roller until it
contacts wood gauge. Repeat for opposite
side of the out-feed roller.
