Checking Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table MUST be level with the knives
when they are at top-dead-center or the workpiece
cannot be feed across the jointer safely. The
outfeed table height is factory set, but we recom-
mend that you check it to make sure that it didn’t
change during shipping.
To check the outfeed table height:
1. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so
it extends over the cutterhead.
2. Rotate the cutterhead pulley until one of the
knives is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illus-
trated in
Figure 14.

Figure 15. Using a straightedge to align outfeed
table height with knife at TDC.
When correctly set, the knife will barely touch
the straightedge, as shown in
Figure 15.
— If your outfeed table is correctly set, no
adjustments are necessary.
— If the knife lifts the straightedge off the
table or it is below the straightedge, then
the outfeed table must be re-set. Refer to
