7.Position the straightedge on the outfeed table and over the insert to make sure that it is installed correctly and at the same height as the other inserts.

—If the insert is raised above the correct height, remove it and repeat the above procedure until it is properly installed.

3.Add two drops of pneumatic tool oil to the incoming valve of the wrench to keep the internal components lubricated.

4.Connect the wrench to a source of 90 PSI air pressure, then use the adjustment knob of the pressure gauge to initially set the air pressure to 20 PSI on the gauge.

5.Set the direction switch for clockwise rotation and the setting dial to 2.

6.While carefully holding the insert in position, insert the bit into the Torx screw and press the operation lever to seat the insert. Repeat this step with all remaining inserts.

7`. Adjust the air pressure to 40 PSI, then fully tighten the Torx screw to a final torque setting of approximately 50–55 inch/pounds. Repeat with all remaining inserts.

Adjusting/Replacing Cutterhead Knives

If your jointer has a knife-style cutterhead, cor- rectly setting the height of the knives is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.

There are several methods for setting the knives. The Jointer Pal® included with your jointer is simple to use and is designed to hold the knives at the correct setting while you secure them. If you choose to use the Jointer Pal®, follow the instruc- tions that are included with it.

The straightedge method is described below and produces the same results as the Jointer Pal®. This method uses a high-quality, precision straightedge held flat against the outfeed table and over the cutterhead, then the knife heights are set to the bottom of the straightedge, as shown in Figure 60.
