POSITION
THE CHIP BREAKER
Refer to Figure 15 and 28, pages 8 and 18.
The chip breaker (Key No. 19) is used to help remove
wood chips from the cutter bits and blades while plan-
ing or molding. Adjust the chip breaker every time the
cutting tools are changed or adjusted.
The chip breaker should be positioned as close to the
cutterhead as possible without contacting the cutter bits
or blades. Remove the blade cover. Loosen the three
socket head bolts that hold the chip breaker and position
it as close to the cutterhead as possible, rotate the cut-
terhead by hand to ensure that there is no interference
with the chip breaker. Secure the chip breaker by tighten-
ing the three socket head bolts. Replace and secure
blade cover.
