CUTTER KNIFE INSTALLATION &

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

a.At the position shown in Fig. 7, insert the knife so the holes are aligned with those on the drum. Set the wooden levellers on each end of the knife edge and press down on both ends until the main frame surface is contacted.

The levellers should be pressed down just above the hex bolt holes on either end.

b.Fix the cutter drum at the position shown in Fig. 6, attach the durm cover and fasten securely the hex bolts.

Tightening all bolts fully in order may cause the knife to move. At first, tighten bolts gradually and evenly be- fore applying the final tightening torque.

c. Secure the lever a t the position you found it a t when the chip guard was

raised, then set the lever on top (see right), pressing down very gently and turning the cutter drum in the arrow direction. The leveller should move the same amount when placed over either end of one and the same knife (i.e., ap- prox. 5 - 6 mm (3/16”- 1/4”)). After adjusting knife height on both knives, replace chip guard as before. Replace guards after completing adjustments. Auto-planer guard (chip cover) should be secured a t original position.
