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.

Setting Outfeed Table HeightdcPage 33#
The outfeed table MUST be level with
cutterhead inserts when they are at top dead
center (their highest point during rotation).
Otherwise, the workpiece cannot properly
feed past the cutterhead, which may result
in the workpiece kicking back and seriously
injuring the operator.
