ADJUSTING FENCE GUARDS
Two guards, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 55, are provided on each side of the fence bracket to close up the opening
between the fence bracket (B) and the fence (C) limiting access to the cutterhead. When the fence is tilted, the guard
(A) Fig. 56, can be pushed to the rear as shown. After the fence is returned to the 90 degree position, push the guard
(A) Fig. 56, forward to close up the opening. Fig. 55, illustrates the guard (A) properly adjusted.

REPLACING AND RESETTING KNIVES
If the knives are removed from the cutterhead for re place ment or sharpening, care must be used in removing, re plac ing
and resetting them. Proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Move the fence to the rear and remove the cutterhead guard (C) Fig. 40.
Be extremely careful that your hands do not come in contact with the knives.
3. Using 8x10 mm open end wrench (A) Fig. 57, slightly
loosen the four locking screws (B) in each knife slot
by turning the screws (B) clockwise. This relieves
stress in the cutterhead.
4. Loosen screws (B) Fig. 57, further and remove knife
and knife locking bar.
5. Fig. 58, illustrates the knife (C) and knife locking
bar (D) removed from the cutterhead. Remove the
remaining two knives and locking bars, in the same
manner.
6. Using the 2.5mm allen wrench (E) Fig. 58, lower the
two knife ad just ment blocks by turning screws (F)
counterclockwise in all three slots of the cutterhead.
7. Before replacing knives make certain the knife locking
bars are thoroughly clean and free of gum and pitch.
8. Place the knife locking bars (D) Fig. 58, and knives (C)
into each slot in the cutterhead.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN INSERT-
ING THE KNIVES AS THE CUTTING
EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. Push the knife down us-
ing a scrap piece of wood as far as possible and turn
each screw (B) Fig. 57, counterclockwise just enough
to hold the knife in position. Replace the remaining
two knives in the same manner. NOTE: Knives must
be installed correctly as shown in Fig. 59.
