If the knife is to be lowered it will be necessary to carefully push down on the knife with a scrap piece of wood, after screws (F) have been turned. Tighten four screws (D) Fig. 41, by turning them counterclockwise, after adjustment is made.

6.Repeat these procedures for adjusting the remaining two knives if necessary, and replace cutterhead guard removed in STEP 2.

7.If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 43, and the finished surface will be curved.

8.If the knives are set too high, the work will be gouged, curved, or bowed at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 44.

9.As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the knives for 6 to 8 inches. The wood should rest firmly on both tables as shown in Fig. 45, with no open spaces under the finished cut.
