ADJUSTMENTS USING SPRINGS.

The knives are locked into the cutterhead with wedge- type gibs and gib bolts. Jack screws under the knives may be substituted with springs to help in the setting process. When using springs, it is advised that the jack screws be removed. To realign the knives:

1.Unplug the jointer!

2.Loosen the gib bolts until the knife is loose in the slot. The gib bolts turn clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten (when facing the head of the bolt). Remove the knife and jack screws. Place 1 spring in each of the two holes in bottom of the knife slot. See Figure 16A and 16B.

3.Place the knife setting gauge on the cutterhead as described previously, so the feet are securely planted on the cutterhead. Make sure the gauge extension rod is parallel to the cutterhead to main- tain accuracy.

4.The downward pressure provided by the gauge will set the knives at a uniform protrusion of approx- imately .070" above the cutterhead. The knife height should vary no more than .002"-.003" across the length of the cutterhead.

5.Maintain a constant pressure on the gauge while retightening the gib bolts.

6.Repeat the same procedure on the remaining knives. As mentioned before, the standard knife setting gauge is satisfactory for reasonably accu- rate knife setting tasks.

Outfeed Table

NOTICE

Model G1182HW uses handwheels for out-

feed and infeed table adjustments.

Facing the fence, the outfeed table is located to the left of the cutterhead. The outfeed table must be aligned to the highest point of the arc of the blades. If it is set too high, the board will hit the front edge of the table and be impossible to feed over the jointer. If the table is set too low, the back end of the board will fall into the cutterhead and snipe will occur.

1.Loosen the table stop bolt jam nut under the outfeed table. Turn the table stop bolt counter-clockwise several times so that it will not interfere when setting the correct table height. See Figure 17.

2.Rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor pulley. DO NOT grab the cutterhead itself. Bring one blade to the approximate apex of its arc.

3.Position a steel straightedge on the outfeed table. Extend the straightedge over the middle of the cutterhead. See Figure 18.
