Setup
Leveling the upper cutter straight planer knives
The upper cutter knives are adjusted in a similar way to the lower cutter knives. However,
there is an aluminum knife-setting block that is supplied with the machine for the purpose
of setting the upper cutter knives. This setting block can be found in the parts box that is
shipped with the machine.
1.
Loosen (do not remove) the knife gib lock bolts.
2.
Place the aluminum setting block (supplied) next to one of the knife adjustment screws.
See Figure 3-7.
3.
Adjust the knife up or down with the hex wrench until it just barely touches the underside
of the setting block.
4.
Securely tighten the gib lock bolts once the knife is adjusted correctly.
NOTE:
Tighten all the bolts simultaneously, at the same rate, moving
back and forth between both bolts. Continue repeating the procedure
between both bolts until they are very tight.
5.
When the gib lock bolts are tight, tighten the height adjusting screws until they touch bot-
tom of the indentations of the knives.
