For Model G0452Z
The outfeed table height MUST be level with the
carbide inserts when they are at top-dead-center.
If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece
will be tapered from front to back. 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.
To set the outfeed table height:
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2. Move the cutterhead guard out of the way or
remove it, and open the rear access panel.
3. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table
so it extends over the cutterhead and rotate
the cutterhead pulley until one of the carbide
inserts is at top-dead-center (TDC), as shown
in Figure 33.

4. When correctly set, the carbide insert will just
touch the straightedge when the insert is at
its highest point of rotation (see Figure 34).

—If your outfeed table is correctly set, no
adjustments are necessary.
—If the insert lifts the straightedge off the
table or is below the straightedge, loosen
outfeed table lock and adjust table height
until straightedge just touches an insert at
its highest point of rotation.

Tip: Some advanced woodworkers have found
that they can virtually eliminate snipe by setting
the outfeed table in the following manner: Repeat
Steps 1-4 using a freshly exposed insert. Place
two pencil marks on the straightedge
5
⁄32" apart,
and place the outward mark on the edge of the
outfeed table, as shown in Figure 35.
Lower the outfeed table slightly so the insert
lifts the straightedge off the table. Rotate the
cutterhead clockwise—the straightedge should
move
5
⁄32" toward the infeed table and the inward
mark should be directly over the edge of the
outfeed table, as shown in Figure 36. Continue
adjusting the outfeed table until the cutterhead
moves the straightedge
5
⁄32" toward the infeed
table.
