CHECKING CUTTER BLADES

4

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION
AND CORD IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH CHECK­

ING CUTTER BLADES.

The blades in your Jointer-Planer have been adjusted at the factory to
assure proper operation. Shipping and handling, however, may cause
misalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades must be .003-In. higher
than the outfeed table (thickness of a piece of paper) when positioned at
the highest point.

1.

Block the cutter guard open with a scrap piece of wood about 5-1/2"

long between the fence and cutter guard.

CHIP DISCHARGE/VACUUM

2.

Locate the slot in the cutter head shaft through the small hole in the

backside of the machine directly above the vacuum port. Rotate the
cutter head with a screwdriver until one of the blades Is at its highest
position.

3.

place a straight edge over the outfeed table and the blade. The

straight edge must touch evenly on the outfeed table at both ends of

the blade. Rotate the cutterhead slowly, and making sure the blade

lightly touches the straight edge. If the straight edge rises or blades

do not touch, follow the "REPLACING CUTTER BLADES" procedure

in the “MAINTENANCE” section.
