machine after the planing operation has been completed
and should be set at .030" below the cutting circle.
To check and adjust the setting of the outfeed roller,
proceed as follows:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2. Make certain the knives are adjusted properly as
explained in section “CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND
REPLACING KNIVES.”

under cutterhead (B). Using a .030" feeler gage (C) placed
on top of gage block (A), raise the table until the
cutterhead knife just touches feeler gage (A) when the
knife is at its lowest point. NOTE: Do not move the table
any further until the adjustment is complete.
