7.Adjusting the knife heights:

a.Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 45) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the bottom of the straight- edge or the knife setting jig middle pad.

b.Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place.

c.Repeat on the other side of the cutterhead.

d.Repeat Steps 5–7with the rest of the knives.

10.Repeat Step 8, but final tighten each gib bolt.

11.If you used the knife setting jig to set the knife heights, use the straightedge to adjust the outfeed table height evenly with the knives at top dead center (the highest point in their rotation). If you used the straightedge to set the knife heights, skip to the next step.

12.Replace the cutterhead guard, wind the shaft collar, and tighten the set screws.

13.Close the pulley cover.
