Knives
WARNING!
The knives are extremely sharp. Use
caution when handling.
Knife Removal
1. To expose the cutterhead, move the fence
all the way back.
2.
Back down both the infeed and outfeed
tables to their lowest position. Be sure to
loosen the lock on bot the infeed and
outfeed tables before doing so.
3.
Now turn the cutterhead by hand until one
of the knives is exposed and accessible.
Use gloves or a rag to prevent injury.
4.
Using a 8mm wrench on the knife lock
bolt, release the pressure on the knife by
turning the bolt into the cutterhead as
show in Figure 10. To prevent injury, hold
the wrench with one hand while tapping
the top of the wrench with the other hand
as shown. Do this for all six bolts.
5.
Once all the bolts have been turned in
remove the knife.
Knife Setting
Your 10’ jointer is equipped with both jack
screws or springs to aid in knife setting. It is
your choice which method you use.
Method 1: Springs (when using the spring
method make sure the jack screws are turned
down and out of the way)
Note
: It is not only important to set the height
of the knife with respect to the cutterhead it is
also important that the outside edge of the
knives be aligned with the rabbeting ledge.
1. With the knife in the slot use a straight
edge on the rabbeting ledge as shown in
Figure 11 to push the knife into alignment
with the edge.
2. Next use the supplied knife guage as
shown to carefully push down on the knife
until it is position as shown in Figure 12.
Make sure the knife makes contact within
the indent as shown by ‘A’ in Figure 12.
3. With the knife held firmly into place back
the knife lock bolts out into the cutterhead
in order to put pressure onto the knife.
Work from the center bolts outward. Do
this in two steps. First loosely, then firmly
the second time.
4. Repeat the above for all knives.
