OUTFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
In order to perform accurate 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 adjust the outfeed table:
1.
MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Loosen locking screw (A)
Fig. 22, and turn handwheel (B). When the
outfeed table is exactly level with the cutterhead knives at their
highest point of revolution, tighten screw (A).
KNIFE ADJUSTMENTS
In order to do accurate work, the knives must be level with the outfeed
table. To check and adjust, if necessary, proceed as follows:
1.
MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Remove set screw holding the cutterhead guard (A) Fig. 23, in
position and remove cutterhead guard.
3. Loosen table locking handles and lower infeed table as described in
section
“INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENTS”.
4. Place a steel straight edge on the outfeed table, extending over the
cutterhead as shown in Fig. 24.
5. Carefully rotate the cutterhead by hand. The knives should just
touch the straight edge.
6. If the knife is too high or too low at either end, slightly turn the five
screws, four of which are shown at (D) Fig. 25, 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. 36,
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.
WARNING: BE
EXTREMELY CAREFUL THAT YOUR HANDS DO NOT COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE KNIVES AS THE CUTTING EDGES ARE
VERY SHARP. IMPORTANT:
Tighten knife locking screws (D) after
adjustments have been made.
7. Repeat these procedures for adjusting the two remaining knives if
necessary.
