4.
If an adjustment to one or all three knives is necessary, slightly loosen
the 10 locking screws, 10 of which are shown in Fig.25 & Fig.26 (F)
loosen just enough to relieve stress in the cutterhead (B) and do not
disturb the knife setting.
5.
With the knife setting gauge (C) Fig.25 &26 still in place on the
cutterhead, continue to adjust the knife that must be reset by turning
the 10 knife locking screws (F) CLOCKWISE until knife locking bar (G)
becomes loose. The lifter springs (not shown) located under the knife
will automatically raise the knife until it comes in contact with gauge
(C). Then tighten up the knife bar (G) Fig.25 &26, by turning the 10
knife locking screws (F) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
IMPORTANT: At this time, only tighten the knife locking bar (G) just enough to hold the knife (D) in position
inside the cutterhead slot.
6.
If other knives need adjustment, repeat step 5.
7.
After all knives are positioned in the cutterhead with knife locking screws tighten and, turn each of the 10
locking screws (F)
Fig.25, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until the knives are secure in the cutterhead.
IMPORTANT: If the knives are to be removed for sharpening or replacement, extreme caution must be taken as
knifes are very sharp and dangerous
To remove: Knives proceed as follows:
8.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
9.
Carefully place knife setting gauge (C) Fig.25, in order to position the
gauge on the radius section of the cutterhead (B) Fig.26.
10.
Loosen the knife locking bar (G) Fig.25 & Fig.26, by turning the 10
knife locking screws; 10 of which are shown in (F). Turn the screws
CLOCKWISE and carefully remove the locking bar (G) and knife (D)
along with the springs located under the knife from the cutterhead
(not shown). Remove the remaining knives in the same manner.
11.
Thoroughly clean the knife slots, knife locking bars, and locking screws. Verify the screws; if the threads
appear worn or stripped, or if the heads are damaged replace immediately.
12.
Carefully replace the springs (not shown), the knives (D) Fig.26, and the knife locking bars (G) into the three
slots in the cutterhead (B).
IMPORTANT: When replacing the knife locking bars (G) Fig.26 against knives (D) as illustrated in the cross section
diagram. Be sure that the knife locking bars (G) are installed as shown, with the locking screws (F) holding knives
(D) properly inside the cutterhead slots. Turn all knife locking screws (F),
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE just enough to hold the knives in the cutterhead.
13.
Adjust the knives as explained in Step 3 through 7.
14.
Replace the top cover on the machine.
CHECKING, RESETTING AND REPLACING KNIVES
In order to check and adjust the height of chipbreaker, pressure bar, infeed
and outfeed rollers and adjust the cutterhead parallel to the table, you will
need a gauge block made of hard wood. The gauge block can easily be
constructed by following the dimensions illustrated to you in Fig.27.
