1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends

over the cutterhead. For best results, use a straight-

edge that will stand on edge without having to be held

in place, as illustrated in Figure 36.

3. Rotate the cutterhead under the straightedge.

— If the knives are parallel to the straightedge,

rotating the cutterhead will move the straightedge

slightly (

/8") forward; no adjustments are

necessary.

— If the knives fall below the straightedge, or if the

knives lift the straightedge and move it more than

/8" when you rotate the cutterhead, the knives

must be adjusted.

1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2. Block the cutterhead guard back so the cutterhead is

fully exposed.

3. Locate the knife clamp screws and knife adjustment

jack screws (see Figures 37–38).

Note: You will perform the procedure in Steps 4–8

for each of the two knives.

4. Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the four knife

clamp screws.

5. Adjust the two jack screws until both ends are

sightly below the straightedge.

The knives MUST be level with the outfeed table when

they are at top dead center (their highest point during

rotation) or the workpiece cannot be safely fed across the

jointer.
