7. If blade is higher or lower at the right of the

table than it is at the left, slightly loosen the
four locking screws (A-Fig. 22) by turning
clockwise as viewed from the in-feed table.
To lower, turn the jack screws clockwise. To
raise the blade , turn the jack screws counter-
clockwise. Blades are set at the proper
height when the top of the blades are

1/16" above the cutter-head. Alternately

tighten four locking screws to hold each blade
in place.

8. Repeat this process with blades two and

three. The out-feed table and cutter-head
knives are correctly adjusted when all
three blades are parallel to the out-feed
table and all three blades are set at the
same height in the cutter-head.

If the out-feed table is set too high, a curved
finished surface results.

If the out-feed table is set too low, gouging will
result at the end of the cut.

Reinstall Cutterhead Guard

1. Turn spring knob (Figure 23) approximately

one and one half revolutions counter-
clockwise and hold.

2. Insert guard post into hole in table. Make sure

spring engages slot in guard post.

3. Check for proper operation. Guard must

return fully to fence when released. If guard
does not return fully, remove pull guard, apply
more tension to spring knob by turning it
another half turn counter-clockwise, and re-
insert guard. If guard closes too quickly and
strikes fence too hard, release some tension
on the spring.
