3-9 doc050624 Setup
1. Place the straight edge (the base of a carpenter’s square is shown) across the corner of
the cast iron table bed as shown below.
See Figure 3-6.
2. Rotate the head so that the edge of the planer knife is directly under the straight edge.
If the knife is adjusted too high within the cutter head, the straight edge (base of carpen-
ter’s square) will be pushed out of position. If the knife it is positioned too low in the cutter
head, the planer knife will not make contact, and the straight edge will not move at all.
The objective is to get the straight edge to move slightly when the knife edge passes
beneath it.
3. Loosen (do not remove) the knife gib lock bolts.
4. Raised or lower the knife using a 4 mm hex wrench (supplied).
