To adjust or replace the knives:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

Note: Since the height of the knives is set from the outfeed table height, the next step is crucial to correctly adjusting the knives.

2.Make sure the outfeed table is parallel to the cutterhead body and the table height is correct (refer to Adjusting Outfeed Table Parallelism on Page 44 for detailed instruc- tions).

Cutterhead knives are extremely sharp and can quickly slice your hands or fingers. ALWAYS wear heavy leather gloves when handling these cut- ters to avoid personal injury.

3.Remove the cutterhead guard, fence assem- bly, and rear motor access cover to access the cutterhead pulley.

4.Use the cutterhead pulley to rotate the cutterhead and gain access to one of the knives, then lock the cutterhead in place with the cutterhead lock pin (refer to Page 20 for detailed instructions).

5.Turn the cutterhead gib bolts clockwise, start- ing in the middle, then alternating back and forth until the gib is loose (see Figure 61).
