(continued)
FIGURE 10
6. Loosen the four screws securing the clamp bar to
the cutterhead. See Figure 8.
7. Locate the two adjustment screws on the exposed
knife. Refer to Figure 9.
8. Rotate the adjustment screws clockwise to lower
the knife or counterclockwise to raise it. Each screw
must be adjusted separately.
9. Re-check the position of the knife on either end
using the straightedge as in Step 3. Continue to
adjust the height of the knife until it brushes the
underside of the straightedge enough to move it
1/8”.
NOTE:
Check both the left and right sides of the
cutterhead knife to ensure they are at the proper
height.
10. Replace the clamp bar and tighten the four screws
securing the clamp bar to the cutterhead. Slightly
tighten each of the clamp screws, making sure to
follow the sequence shown in Figure 10.
NOTE:
Failure to follow the proper sequence for
tightening the clamp screws may result in the position
of the knife being altered which can affect the
performance of the tool.
CONNECTING TO DUST COLLECTOR
A jointer creates a large amount of fine particles while
in use. It is strongly recommended that you connect
the jointer to a dust collector. Your DELTA® Bench
Jointer is equipped with a 2-1/4” (OD) dust port which
is located underneath the outfeed table. This must
be connected to a dust collector hose to ensure safe
operation.
Do not attempt to operate this tool
without first connecting it to an
adequate dust collection system.
Always turn on the dust collector
before starting the jointer and always
stop the jointer before turning off the dust collector.
