CAUTION:
The cutterhead blades (Fig. 18 - 1) are ex-
tremely sharp. To avoid injury, do not let your fingers con-
tact the cutting edge.
4. Place a straight-edge over the outfeed table and the blade.
The straight edge must touch evenly on the outfeed table at both
ends of the blade. See Fig. 19.
5. Rotate the cutterhead by hand. The blades should just touch
the straight-edge. If a blade is too low or too high at either end,
adjust the blade height. Using a hex wrench, loosen the blade
locking screws (Fig. 20) and adjust the gib screws (Fig. 20) to
re-position the blade. Fully tighten the locking screws once the
adjustments have been made.

MOVE THE FENCE
1. Before adjusting the fence’s angle, make sure that the unit is
unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Loosen the fence sliding handle (Fig. 17 - 1).
3. Slide the fence to the desired position. The fence can be posi-
tioned over the blade so that only the desired width of the blade
is exposed. Make sure the exposed width matches that of the
workpiece.
4. Tighten the fence sliding handle so that the fence is secure.
ADJUST THE BLADE HEIGHT
The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure proper
operation and should require no adjustment. However, shipping
and handling may have caused slight misalignment. For accu-
rate cutting, the cutting edges of the blades should be flush with
the outfeed table.
1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and that the cord
is unplugged before checking the blades.
2. Block the blade guard (Fig. 18 - 3) from closing using a scrap
piece of 6-1/4-inch long wood (Fig. 18 - 2) between the fence
and the guard.
3. Turn the cutterhead so that one of the blades is at its highest
position.
