Setting Outfeed

Table Height

The outfeed table height MUST be level with the knives or carbide inserts when they are at top- dead-center. If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be tapered from front to back. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

To set the outfeed table height:

1.DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead.

3.Open the motor access panel and rotate the cutterhead pulley until one of the knives (or carbide inserts) is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illustrated in Figure 11.

2.Move the fence forward until it touches the cutterhead guard.

3.Thread the lock knob into the bracket so the threads fit into the shaft groove (Figure 13), and secure the guard into place. Adjust the guard and lock knob as needed so the guard fully covers the cutterhead.

4.Test the guard by pulling it back and letting go. The rubber dot on the guard should hit the fence when the guard comes back.

—The guard should snap back over the cutterhead without dragging across the table.

—If the guard drags across the table, raise it until it won't drag, then tighten the shaft lock.

—If the guard does not snap back, remove it and repeat Steps 1–3.
