location.
3.Place the straightedge in one of the positions shown in Figure 49, and adjust the table (a small hammer and punch or pin-type span- ner wrench may be necessary to turn the eccentric bushings) 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 many times as necessary until the outfeed table is parallel with the cutterhead to within 0.010"-0.012".
Note: Setting the outfeed table parallel to the cutterhead within
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 50.
7.Place the straightedge in one of the posi- tions shown in Figure 51, 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 outfeed table height (refer to the next sub-section).
10.Set the knives (refer to Page 35).
11.Reinstall the cutterhead guard and fence.
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.

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!
2.Check/adjust the table parallelism.
3.Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 10, Page 17, remove the guard, and remove the fence.
4.Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the front of the machine, and loosen the jam nuts and positive stop bolts located at the back of the machine (see Figure 47).
