4.Move gage block (B) Fig. 39, directly under chipbreakers
(A) as shown. The bottom of chipbreakers (A) Fig. 39, should just touch gage block (B).
5.If an adjustment to the chipbreakers is necessary, loosen two hex nuts (E) Fig. 37, and turn adjustment screws (F) until chipbreakers (A) touch gage block (B) at both sides of the table.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE BAR
The pressure bar is located directly behind the cutterhead and rides on the planed surface of the stock, pressing the stock downward on the table. The pressure bar must be parallel to the knives and tangent to the table and set
.010” below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the pressure bar, proceed as follows:

3.Place gage block (B) Fig. 40, on the table surface and directly under the cutterhead as shown. Using a .010” feeler gage (C) Fig. 40, placed on top of the gage block, raise the table until cutterhead knife (D) Fig. 41 touches the feeler gage when the knife is at its lowest point. IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOVE THE TABLE
ANY FURTHER UNTIL THE ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
4.Move gage block (B) Fig. 41, under pressure bar (D) as shown. The bottom of pressure bar (D) Fig. 41, should just touch the top of gage block (B). Check the oppo- site end of the pressure bar in the same manner.
5.If an adjustment to the height of the pressure bar is necessary, loosen lock nut (E) Fig. 42, and turn adjust- ment screw (F) until the bottom of pressure bar (D) Fig. 41, just touches top of gage block (B). Repeat the adjustment at the other end of the pressure bar in the same manner.
