See Figure 3-7.
5. Insert the 10 mm wrench in the track between the gib and the cutter.
6. Loosen (do not remove) the gib lock bolts that hold the knife.
7. Set the knife height by adjusting the two recessed adjustment screws next to the cutter
track.
Check that the knife is level in the cutter head by rotating the head to see if the knife blade
barely comes in contact with and moves the straight edge very slightly. (See Figure 3-6
.)
Adjust one side until correct, and then adjust the other side in similar fashion.
IMPORTANT! Adjusting the second side can cause the first side that
you just adjusted to become a little bit off. Check the level of both sides
of the knife again, and continue adjusting until the straight edge moves
equally on both sides when the cutter head is rotated beneath it.
8. Securely tighten the gib lock bolts once the knife is adjusted correctly.
NOTE: Tighten all the bolts simultaneously, at the same rate, moving
back and forth between both bolts. Continue repeating the procedure
between both bolts until they are very tight.
