OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
6” JOINTER
INFEED TABLE POSITIVE STOPS
1. Positive stops are provided to limit the height and depth of the infeed
table. To adjust the stops, simply loosen two lock nuts (F) and (G) Fig.
28, and turn the two adjusting screws (J) and (K) as required. Then
retighten the lock nuts (F) and (G). A good suggestion is to set the
upper positive stop (J) for your finish or final cut. This means that you
will be able to rapidly set the infeed table for a finish or final cut
without checking the scale and pointer. Also the lower positive stop
(K) can be set for the maximum 1/2˝ depth of cut or if you desire to
limit the depth of cut, adjust the stop screw (K) accordingly.
OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
For most jointing operations the outfeed table must be exactly level with
the knives at their highest point of revolution. This means that the knives
must be parallel to the outfeed table and project equally from the
cutterhead. To move the outfeed table up or down, loosen lock screw (A)
Fig. 29, and turn handwheel (B). When the outfeed table is exactly level
with the knives at their highest point of revolution, tighten the lock
screw (A).
KNIFE AND OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
In order to do accurate work, the knives must be exactly level with the
outfeed table. To check and adjust, proceed as follows:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Loosen lock lever (A) Fig. 30, and lower the infeed table by turning
handwheel (B). Remove cutterhead guard (C).
3. Place a steel straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the
cutterhead as shown in Fig. 31.
4. CAREFULLY rotate the cutterhead by turning the belt by hand. The
knives should just touch the straight edge.
5. If the knife is high or low at either end, slightly turn the four screws
(D) Fig. 32, in the knife locking bar clockwise to loosen using the
wrench (E) supplied. Then adjust the height of the knife by turning the
knife raising screws (F) Fig. 33, counterclockwise to lower and
clockwise to raise the knife. NOTE: If the knife is to be lowered it will
be necessary to carefully push down on the knife after screws (F) have
been turned.
6. Repeat these procedures for adjusting the two remaining knives if necessary.
