3.Place a straightedge across the outfeed table, so the end of the straightedge is direct- ly over the knife.

4.If the outfeed table is set correctly, the straightedge will lay across the table and barely touch the knife when it is at top dead center (see illustration in Figure 31). Verify that the outfeed table height reflects this con- dition.

5.If the outfeed table needs to be adjusted, release the outfeed table lock and adjust the height by rotating the handwheel that is located below the table.

6.When you have the outfeed table properly adjusted, lock the table height in place.

2.Place a straightedge half way on the outfeed table and halfway over the infeed table.

3.Release the infeed table lock and adjust the infeed table flush with the outfeed table as illustrated in Figure 32. The infeed table should be exactly the same height as the outfeed table.

4.Lock the infeed table in place.
