ADJUSTING THE CUTTERHEAD
(Fig. 23-27)
CAUTION: Before replacing the cutterhead, always
unplug the machine.
- Remove cutterhead guard.
- Turn planing depth adjustment knob (H) (Fig. 24)
closewise until the pointer points to 1/8”.
- Adjust the bolts (C) (Fig. 23) until the cutterhead can
be moved by hand.
- Use the adjustment tool (I) to adjust the cutterhead.
The cutterhead (E) (Fig. 23) is properly adjusted when
the cutting edge touches the raised surface of the
adjustment tool.
- If the cutterheads are set too low, the result will be
as shown in Fig. 25, and the finished surface will be
curved.
- If the cutterheads are set too high, the work will be
gouged at the end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 26.
- As a final check, run a piece of work slowly over the
cutterheads for 6 to 8 inches (15–20 cm). The wood
should rest firmly on both tables as shown in Fig. 27,
with no open spaces under the finished cut.
