7.Adjusting the knife heights:
a.Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 45) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the bottom of the straight- edge or the knife setting jig middle pad.
b.Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place.
c.Repeat on the other side of the cutterhead.
d.Repeat Steps

Access Hole

8.Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting at the ends and working your way to the middle by alternating left and right (Figure 46). Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.
