Operation
Replacing Knives
Cutterhead knives are sharp.
Use extreme caution when inspecting,
removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into
the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Remove blade guard by turning the knob
(A-Fig. 37) clockwise while lifting up on blade
guard.
Blades are sharp! Use great
care when hands are around blade area!
3. Loosen the four lock bar screws (A-Fig. 38).
Note: Loosen screws by turning in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the infeed table. Carefully
remove the knife (C-Fig. 38), the lock bar with
screws (B-Fig. 38).
Repeat for the other two blades.
4. Before assembly, clean all parts thoroughly and
clear cutterhead knife slots of any dust or debris.
5. Insert knife into the cutterhead channel making
sure it faces the proper direction.
6. Insert lock bar and screws and tighten to hold in
place. Blades are set at the proper height when the
top of the blade is 1/16" above the cutterhead. Do
not tighten firmly at this time.
7. Repeat for other two blades.
8. To set the knives to the outfeed table and to the
same height in the cutterhead, see the Setting
Outfeed Table to Cutterhead Knives on page 18.
Figure 39.
7. Alternately tighten four screws to hold each blade
in place.
8. Repeat this process with blades two and three.
The outfeed table and cutterhead knives are correctly
adjusted when all three blades are parallel to the
outfeed table and all three blades are set at the
same height in the cutterhead.
