3. Position the knife setting gauge on the out-
feed table so that it extends over the cutter-
head (Figure 16).
4. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the cutter-
head pulley (Figure 15).
5. Watch as each knife passes under the knife
setting gauge. The full length of each knife
should just touch the knife setting gauge
WITHOUT lifting the gauge off the outfeed
table. If this condition is not present, refer to
Section 8: Service Adjustments.
The outfeed table must be perfectly level with the
full length of each cutterhead knife.
To verify the factory setting:
1. Unplug the machine from the power
source!
2. Open the access door (
Figure 15
) on the
back of the machine, just below the fence
adjustments.
NOTICE
The remaining instructions in this section
cover factory settings which should
already be adjusted correctly; however, we
recommend checking the settings to be
sure they were not bumped out of adjust-
ment during the shipping process. If it is
determined that a setting is out of correct
adjustment, please refer to Section 8:
Service Adjustments.
