3.Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 53, and adjust the table by turning the eccentric bearings (a small ham- mer and punch or pin-type spanner wrench may be necessary), so that the straightedge touches the cutterhead while lying flat across the outfeed table. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as necessary until the outfeed table is parallel with the cutterhead.
4.Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen- tric bushings on the outfeed table.
5.Remove the set screw from each of the four eccentric bushings under the infeed table, and loosen the set screws underneath those removed set screws.
6.Place the straightedge halfway across the infeed table and halfway over the outfeed table, and adjust the infeed table even with the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 54.
7.Place the straightedge in one of the posi- tions shown in Figure 55, and adjust the eccentric bushings under the infeed table so the straightedge lies flat against both tables. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as many times as nec- essary until the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table.
8.Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen- tric bushings on the infeed table.
9.Set the knives (refer to Page 33), set the outfeed table height (refer to the next sub- section), and recalibrate the fence stops (Page 40).
10.Reinstall the cutterhead guard.
Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height must be even with the top of the cutterhead knives. If the outfeed table is set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.
