ADJUSTING FENCE GUARDS
Two guards, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 55, are provided on each side of the fence bracket to close up the opening between the fence bracket (B) and the fence (C) limiting access to the cutterhead. When the fence is tilted, the guard
(A)Fig. 56, can be pushed to the rear as shown. After the fence is returned to the 90 degree position, push the guard
(A)Fig. 56, forward to close up the opening. Fig. 55, illustrates the guard (A) properly adjusted.

REPLACING AND RESETTING KNIVES
If the knives are removed from the cutterhead for replacement or sharpening, care must be used in removing, replacing and resetting them. Proceed as follows:
1. 
Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Move the fence to the rear and remove the cutterhead guard (C) Fig. 40.
Be extremely careful that your hands do not come in contact with the knives.
3.Using 8x10 mm open end wrench (A) Fig. 57, slightly loosen the four locking screws (B) in each knife slot by turning the screws (B) clockwise. This relieves stress in the cutterhead.
4.Loosen screws (B) Fig. 57, further and remove knife and knife locking bar.
5.Fig. 58, illustrates the knife (C) and knife locking bar (D) removed from the cutterhead. Remove the remaining two knives and locking bars, in the same manner.
6.Using the 2.5mm allen wrench (E) Fig. 58, lower the two knife adjustment blocks by turning screws (F) counterclockwise in all three slots of the cutterhead.
7.Before replacing knives make certain the knife locking bars are thoroughly clean and free of gum and pitch.
8.Place the knife locking bars (D) Fig. 58, and knives (C) into each slot in the cutterhead.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN INSERT- ING THE KNIVES AS THE CUTTING EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. Push the knife down us-
ing a scrap piece of wood as far as possible and turn each screw (B) Fig. 57, counterclockwise just enough to hold the knife in position. Replace the remaining two knives in the same manner. NOTE: Knives must be installed correctly as shown in Fig. 59.
