NOTE: If the blade is to be lowered, it will be necessary to push it
down with a piece of wood after turning the screws (F).
WARNING: Be very careful that your hands do not come into contact
with the blade as it is sharp.
IMPORTANT: Tighten the safety screws (D) Fig. 29, after the
adjustment has been made.
7. Repeat the procedure to adjust the remaining two blades if
necessary.
8. If the blades are installed too low, the edging result will be as
shown in Fig. 31 and the surface will be curved.
9. If the knives are installed too high, the workpiece will be
nibbled at the end of the cut as shown in Fig. 32.
10. It is recommended that a final check be made by running a 6"
(15 cm) to 8" (20 cm) workpiece over the blades. The
workpiece will rest firmly on the two tables as shown in Fig.
33 and with no open spaces under the final cut.
11. Reinstall the cutting head guard that was removed in STEP 2.

TABLE PIN SETTING
Pins are provided to eliminate any play that may be created
between the base dovetail assembly and the infeed and outfeed
tables of your jointer due to excessive use. The feeder table pin
(A) is shown in Fig. 34. Proper pin adjustment is necessary for
jointer operation. The jointer pins were adjusted from the factory
and should not need any further adjustment, however if it is ever
necessary to adjust them due to excessive wear, proceed as
follows:
1. To adjust the feed table pin, loosen the locking handles (C)
Fig. 35 and (F) Fig. 36. Loosen the three lock nuts (B) Fig. 35
and tighten or loosen the three set screws (D) as required.

NOTE: Adjust the lower screw first and as soon as this is done
adjust the upper screw and carefully raise the outer edge of the
table. This will compensate for any tendency of the table to become
uneven and will allow the pin to fit properly into the upper adjusting
screw. Tighten the three lock nuts (B) Fig. 35 and the two table
locking handles.
2. To adjust the outfeed table pin, loosen the safety handle (H)
Fig. 37. Loosen the two lock nuts (E) and tighten or loosen the
two adjusting screws (G) as required.
NOTE: Adjust the lower screw first and as soon as you have done
so, adjust the upper screw and carefully raise the outer edge of
the table. This will compensate for any tendency of the table to
become unlevel and allow the pin to properly fit the upper adjusting
screw. Tighten the two lock nuts (E) and the locking handle (H).
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the screws too loose or slack. It should
take some work to move the tables up or down. Your jointer is a
finishing machine and cannot be expected to do a good edging job
if the table is installed loosely, wobbly or has play.
