IMPORTA N T:For ease in rotating the cutterhead
during the knife setting operation, pull outward on latch
(H) Fig. 46, and open hinged access door (J). This pro-
vides access to the cutterhead pulley (K) Fig. 47, and
belt (L) allowing you to rotate the cutterhead. CAUTION:
After knives are adjusted, make certain the access door
(J) is in the closed and locked position.

the knives down as far as possible and snug up the knife
locking screws by turning them counterclockwise just
enough to hold the knives in position.

Construct a U shaped block out of hardwood simi-
lar to the one shown at (M) Fig. 48, and place this block
on the rear table over the cutterhead, as shown. Using
wrench (C), loosen knife locking screws by turning them
clockwise. The knife (O) will lift up and contact the ends
of the gage block (M). The knives are adjusted correctly
when the cutting edge of the knife contacts the gage
block when the knife is at its highest point. When you are
certain the knife is adjusted properly, tighten the knife
locking screws by turning them counterclockwise.
10. Adjust the remaining two knives in the same manner.
