Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper
operation of the jointer and it plays an important
role in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is
higher than the others, it will do the majority of the
work, and thus, become dull much faster.
The knife-setting jig included with the jointer is
designed to set all the knives evenly and at the
correct height in the cutterhead.
The cutterhead in this jointer is equipped with
jack screws that allow for careful positioning of
the knives.

Use the knife-setting jig to verify that all knives are
positioned evenly in the cutterhead.
To inspect positioning of knives in cutterhead:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cutterhead guard or block it open.
3. Lower infeed table to
1
⁄
2
" scale mark.
4. Place knife jig on cutterhead, directly over a
knife.
5. Closely examine how jig touches cutterhead
and knife. Knife is set correctly when, on
each side of cutterhead, both legs of jig sit
firmly on cutterhead body and middle pad of
jig just touches top edge of knife.
— If jig does not sit as described, then that
knife must be reset. (Repeat this inspection
with other knives before resetting.)
