Inspecting Knives
The height of the knives can be inspected with a straight-
edge to ensure that they are set evenly with the outfeed
table at their highest point in the cutterhead rotation.
To inspect the knives, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out of the
way.
3. Using a straightedge, check the height of each knife
at its highest point in relation to the outfeed table,
at each of the straightedge positions shown in
Figure
44.
— The knives are set correctly when they barely touch
the bottom of the straightedge in each of the posi
-
tions shown in
Figure 44.
— If the knives do not touch the straightedge or they
lift it up in any of the positions, they must be
adjusted. Refer to Adjusting/Replacing Knives on
Page 29.
