Delta 37-071 instruction manual Fence Angle Lock Assembly, Align Cutterhead to Outfeed Table

ASSEMBLY

FENCE ANGLE LOCK ASSEMBLY

1.Feed the threaded end of the fence angle lock (A) through both holes in the fence mounting assembly and secure by screwing it into the assembly. See Figure 5.

2.Install the 45°/90° angle stop by pulling up on the spring-loaded pin (B) and sliding the angle stop

(C)in the mortised hole, as shown in Figure 6. Releasing the pin will lock the angle stop in place. When locked in the fully-engaged position, the stop is at 90°. When locked in the partially engaged position, it is at 45°.

ALIGN CUTTERHEAD TO OUTFEED TABLE

Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any

adjustments!

In order to safely feed stock across the jointer safely, the top surface of the outfeed table must be level with the highest point of the cutterhead knives during its rotation. To check the position of the cutterhead knives relative to the outfeed table, refer to Figure 7 and do the following.

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Place a straight edge on the outfeed table (A) so that one end overhangs above the cutterhead. For best results, the straightedge should be able to

stand on edge without having to be held in place. FIGURE 7

3.Carefully and slowly rotate the cutterhead (B) toward the infeed table (C). As the edge of the knife passes underneath the straightedge, it should just barely brush the bottom of the straightedge, causing it to move forward slightly, no more than 1/8”.

4.If the rotation of the cutterhead lifts and moves the straight edge more than 1/8” or if it fails to make contact with the bottom of the straightedge, you’ll need to adjust the position of the knife.

5.Use a scrap of wood to keep the spring-loaded guard open and fully-expose the cutterhead.
