Note:.
The cutterhead for Model W1864 ships with
both springs and jack screws to adjust the knife
height (see
Figure 23
)—which one you use is up to
your personal preference. However, if you use the
springs, you must first remove the jack screws from
the cutterhead before proceeding.
— The advantage of using springs is that springs
maintain a constant upward pressure on the knives
while using the knife-setting jig during
Step.6
.
— The advantage of using jack screws is that once
you set the proper height of the screws, they
should require little to no adjustment when
replacing the knives.

1..
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2..
Remove dust hood and top cover to expose

4..

provide access to one of the knives.
5.

loose.
— If you are replacing the knives, remove the old
knife and install the new one, making sure the
beveled edge of the new knife is facing the
correct direction.
6. Position knife-setting jig over knife so that knife
edge is directly under center pad, as shown in Figure
