CHECKING CUTTER BLADES
A
CAUTION; MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF
POSITION AND CORD IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE PRO­
CEEDING WITH CHECKING CUTTER BLADES.
The blades in your Jointer-Planer have been adjusted at the
factory to assure proper operation. Shipping and handling, how­
ever, may cause rriisalignment. For accurate cutting, the blades
must be .003-in. higher than the outfeed table (thickness of a
piece of paper) when positioned at the highest point.
1. Block the cutter guard open with a scrap piece of wood about
5-1/2" long between the fence and cutter guard.
2. Locate the slot in the cutter head shaft through the small
hole in the backside of the machine directly above the vacuum
port. Rotate the cutter head with a screwdriver until one of
the blades is at its highest position.
3. Place a straight edge over the outfeed table and the blade.
The straight edge must touch evenly on the outfeed table at
both ends of the blade. Rotate the cutterhead slowly, and
making sure the blade lightly touches the straight edge. If the
straight edge rises or blades do not touch, follow the "RE­
PLACING CUTTER BLADES" procedure in the "MAINTEN­
ANCE” section.
