=`^li\(0% Illustration of a typical
cutterhead alignment setup.
The knives MUST be level with the outfeed table when
they are at top dead center (their highest point during
rotation) or the workpiece cannot be safely fed across the
jointer.
To check the knife height, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!
)% Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends
over the cutterhead. For best results, use a straight-
edge that will stand on edge without having to be held
in place.
3. Rotate the cutterhead under the straightedge, as illus-
trated in =`^li\(0.
— If your cutterhead knives are even with or brush
the straightedge and move it slightly (
1
/8") forward
and back when you turn the cutterhead, then no
adjustments are necessary.
— If the knives fall below the straightedge, or if the
knives lift the straightedge and move it more than
1
/8" when you rotate the cutterhead, the knives
must be adjusted.
