To tighten the knives after adjustment, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2.
Alternating back-and-forth, lightly snug the
gib bolts following the tightening sequence
shown in
Figure 18,
but
DO NOT
tighten
the bolts completely.
3.
Rotate the cutterhead to the next knife
and repeat
step 2
, and then repeat again
with each knife. When all knife gib bolts
been snugged, and you come back to the
knife you started with, check the height
with the jig to make sure that it is still
correct.
If the bolt height is not correct, fix as
necessary and re-snug the gib bolts; if the
height is correct, snug each bolt down a
little more in the same alternating method
as in
step 2,
but
DO NOT
tighten the bolts
completely. Repeat again with each knife.
4.
When you return to the original knife,
tighten all gibs
completely
in the same
fashion, repeating on all knives.
NOTICE
Uneven tightening of the gib bolts may cause
the cutterhead to become unbalanced,
which will lead to premature wear and tear
of the knives.
