3. Place the knife setting gauge on the cut-
terhead as described previously, so the feet are
securely planted on the cutterhead.
4. Adjust the screws below each end of the
knife until both feet of the gauge rest evenly
on the cutterhead and the knife is just touch-
ing the bottom of the middle foot of the
gauge. The gauge will set the knives at a uni-
form protrusion of approximately .070" above
the cutterhead. The knife height should vary
no more than .002"-.003" across the length of
the cutterhead.
5. Maintain a constant pressure on the gauge
while retightening the gib bolts.
6. Repeat the same procedure on the remain-
ing knives. As mentioned before, the standard
knife setting gauge is satisfactory for reason-
ably accurate knife setting tasks.
ADJUSTMENTS USING SPRINGS
The knives are locked into the cutterhead with
wedge type gibs and gib bolts. When using
springs:
1. Unplug the jointer!
2. Loosen the gib bolts
until the knife is loose
in the slot. The gib
bolts turn clockwise to
loosen and counter-
clockwise to tighten
(when facing the
head of the bolt). See
Figure 7A and 7B.
3. Place the knife setting gauge on the cut-
terhead as described previously, so the feet are
securely planted on the cutterhead. Make sure
the gauge extension rod is parallel to the cut-
terhead to maintain accuracy.
4. The downward pressure provided by the
gauge will set the knives at a uniform protru-
sion of approximately .070" above the cutter-

head. The knife height should vary no more
than .002"-.003" across the length of the cut-
terhead.
5. Maintain a constant pressure on the gauge
while retightening the gib bolts.
6. Repeat the same procedure on the remain-
ing knives. As mentioned before, the standard
knife setting gauge is satisfactory for reason-
ably accurate knife setting tasks.
90° FENCE STOP
1. Place a square on
the outfeed table
fairly close to the cut-
terhead. See Figure 8.
2. Loosen the fence lock handle and the check
nut on the positive stop bolt. Turn the bolt
against the tab until the fence contacts the
edge of the square evenly.
3. Tighten the check
nut on the stop bolt
and tilt the fence
forward, then back
against the stop. See
Figure 9.
4. Re-check with the square. Tightening the
check nut will move the stop bolt slightly, so
some trial-and-error may be necessary to per-
fect your settings.
45° FENCE STOP
The fence can be tilted to 45° by loosening the
lock handle, lifting up the 90° positive stop tab,
and moving the fence in the desired direction.
To set the 45° tab
stop:
1. Loosen check-nut
and lower fence until
it rests on the stop
bolt. See Figure 10.
2. Using a bevel gauge set to 45°, place the
heel of the bevel on the outfeed table and the
blade against the fence.
3. If there is a gap between the bevel's blade
and the face of the fence, turn the stop bolt
until the gap is gone.
