Note: Proper cleaning of the insert, Torx screw, and the cutterhead pocket is critical to achieving a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the insert and cutterhead will raise the insert slightly, and make notice- able marks on your workpiece the next time you cut.

Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or a vacuum nozzle to clean out the cutterhead pocket.

The outfeed table MUST be level with cutterhead knives or inserts when they are at top dead center (their highest point during rotation). Otherwise, the workpiece cannot properly feed past the cutterhead, which may cause a kickback hazard to the opera- tor.
