Checking And Adjusting Of Knives
When checking or adjusting the cutterhead knives,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the six screws (A), and remove the
upper cover (B) as shown in Fig. 20.
3. To check and adjust knives use the knife gage (A)
Fig. 22 and check all four knives.
Knives should just contact the bottom of the center
protrusion (B) of the knife gage, as shown in
Fig. 22.
4. If an adjustment to one or more of the knives is
necessary, slightly loosen the knife locking bars
(C) Fig. 22, of all four knives by turning the 24
locking screws (D) Fig. 22 into the knife locking
bars just enough to relieve stress in the
cutterhead and not disturb the setting of the
knives.
5. Using the knife gage adjust the knife, that must
be reset by loosening all six locking screws
(D) Fig. 22, by turning them into the knife locking
bar. As the knife locking bar becomes loose,
lifter springs (E) located under the knife will raise
the knife until it comes into contact with the
center protrusion (B) of the gage (A) Fig. 22. Then
snug up the knife locking bar by lightly backing
out the six locking screws (D) against the slot.
NOTE: At this time, only tighten the knife into the
slot just enough to hold knife into position.
6. If additional knives must be reset, repeat STEP 5.
7. Alter all four knives are set with screws just
snug, back out and tighten the six screws (D)
Fig. 21, 22 against the slot starting with the end
screws first, then the center screws until the
knife is securely held in the cutterhead. Tighten
remaining three knives in the same manner.
NOTE: Double Check all screws for Tightness
