To tighten the knives after adjustment, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2.
Alternating back-and-forth, lightly snug the
gib bolts by following the tightening
sequence shown in
Figure 20, but DO
NOT
tighten the bolts completely.
3. Rotate the cutterhead to the next knife
and repeat
Step 2, and then repeat again
with each knife. When all knife gib bolts
have been snugged, and you come back to
the knife you started with, check the knife
height with the jig to make sure that it is
still set correctly.
•If the height is incorrect, readjust
as necessary and re-snug the gib bolts.
•If the height is correct, snug each bolt
down a little more in the same
alternating method as in
Step 2, but DO
NOT
tighten the bolts completely.
Repeat this tightening sequence again
with each knife.
4. When you return to the original knife,
tighten all gibs completely in the same
fashion, repeating on all knives.
5. Recheck the knife height on all knives with
the jig to make sure that the height is still
correct.
•If the height is incorrect, repeat
Steps 2 through 5 until correct.
NOTICE
Uneven tightening or over-tightening the gib
bolts may warp the cutterhead, causing it to
become unbalanced, which will lead to
premature knife and bearing wear from
vibration.
