Adjusting the Height of Cut
Note:
For heights of cut greater than 1.00" the High
Height of Cut Kit must be installed.

3. Hook the screw head on cutting edge of bedknife
and rest rear end of bar on rear roller (Figure 23).
4. Rotate the adjusting screw until the front roller
contacts the gauge bar (Figure 23). Adjust both ends
of roller until entire roller is parallel to the bedknife.
Figure 23
Important:
When set properly, the rear and
front rollers will contact the gauge bar and the
screw will be snug against the bedknife. This
ensures that the height-of-cut is identical at
both ends of the bedknife.
5. Tighten nuts to secure adjustment. Do not
overtighten nut. Tighten enough to remove play
from washer.
Use the following chart to determine which
bedknife is best suited for the desired height of cut.
