Outfeed Table Adjustment
To check this alignment proceed as follows:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from acci-
dental start, make sure switch is “OFF” and plug is not
connected to power source outlet.
NOTE: The outfeed table is adjusted at the factory and
should not require adjustment.
1. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table, extending
over the cutterhead as shown.
2. Rotate the cutterhead by hand. The blades should just
touch the straightedge. If a knife is too low or too high
at either end, readjust knife per “Cutter Knife Adjust-
ment Replacement” procedure.
3. If outfeed table needs adjustment, loosen wing screw
table locks. Raise or lower the outfeed table as
required, by turning the outfeed table knob, until the
outfeed table is exactly level with the knives of the cut-
terhead at their highest point of revolution.
4. After the outfeed table has been set at the correct
height, lock in place using wing screw table locks. It
should not be changed except after sharpening knives.
5. If the outfeed table is too high, finished surface will be
curved as shown.
6. When the outfeed table is too low, the work will be
gouged at the end of the cut.
7. As a final check of the outfeed table adjustment, run a
piece of wood slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches;
it should rest firmly on both tables, as shown, with no
open space under the finished cut.
