Page 23

8.Use the indexing tool to control the cutterhead and put a twist in the knife so the knife indexing tangs seat in the cutterhead alignment groove. See Figure 24.

9.Position the three-hole gib, and make sure you thread the gib screws into the cutter head with proper alignment so you do not cross-thread the cutterhead. See Figure 25.

NOTICE

Uneven tightening or over-tightening the gib bolts may warp the cutterhead, causing it to become unbalanced, which will lead to premature knife and bearing wear from vibration.

11.Working from left-to-right, repeat Steps 8 and 9 on the remaining gibs and tighten each gib from left-to-right until the new knife is installed.

12.Rotate the cutterhead to the next knife and repeat Steps 4 through 11.

13.Reinstall and adjust the chip deflector and reinstall the dust hood.
