IMPORTANT: If the bearings need replacement, this should be done by qualified service personnel. The bearings are press fitted and must be removed with an arbor press.

To re-install cutterhead, reverse the above procedure. Before re-installing, make sure the machine's curved seats of the base casting are free of dirt, dust or grease, to help ensure a tight fit.

NOTE: Whenever the cutterhead is re-installed on the jointer, the tables must be leveled in relationship to it.

You may wish to keep an extra cutterhead on hand to maintain shop productivity.
