16. Replace the cover on the back of the jointer stand.
17. Use the two M6-1 x 20 cap screws to attach the
extension table to the front of the jointer, as shown
in Figure 16. Leave the cap screws loose for now.
18. Using a straightedge, make the extension table flush
with the infeed table, then tighten the two cap
screws to secure the extension table in place.

jointer.
NOTICE
The outfeed table MUST be level with the knives at
their highest point during rotation or the workpiece
will hit the outfeed table during operation. The
outfeed table height is factory set, but you MUST
check it before operation.
19. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it
extends over the cutterhead.
20. Carefully rotate the cutterhead pulley and notice if
the knife contacts the straightedge when the knife is
at its highest point in the rotation (top dead center
or TDC), as shown in Figure 17.
— The knife will barely touch the straightedge when
the outfeed table is set correctly. If the outfeed
table is set correctly, continue with the next step.
— If the knife lifts the straightedge or does not con-
tact the straightedge, the outfeed table must be
adjusted. Do the procedure in Setting Outfeed
Table Height on Page 35, then continue with the
next step in this section.
— If one knife is even with the outfeed table but
other knives are not, the height of the knives
must be adjusted evenly. See Adjusting/Replacing
Knives on Page 29.

sure outfeed table is level with knives at
their highest point of rotation (TDC).

bolts, M6-1 hex nuts, and 6mm flat washers, as
shown in Figure 15.
