1.DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND REMOVE CUTTERHEAD GUARD.
2.Rotate cutterhead and loosen four screws (A) Fig.

3.Rotate cutterhead and engage cutterhead lock (B) Fig. 31, on cutterhead shaft as shown. This will position knives for proper adjustment to the outfeed table.
4.Place a straight edge (C) Fig. 31, on the outfeed table extending out over the knife as shown. Using wrench (D) supplied, turn screw (E) until knife just touches straight edge. Adjust knife at far end of cutterhead in the same manner turning screw (F). Tighten four screws (A) Fig. 30, after adjustment is made.
5.Adjust remaining knife in the same manner and
MAKE SURE CUTTERHEAD LOCK (B) IS DISEN- GAGED AFTER ADJUSTMENT IS COMPLETED AND REPLACE CUTTERHEAD GUARD.
6.The following are examples of what will happen if the knives are not adjusted properly.
7.If the knives are set too low, the result will be as shown in Fig. 32, and the finished surface will be curved.
