16Setting Cutterhead Knives (JJ-6CSX)Cutterhead knives aredangerously sharp! Use extreme caution wheninspecting, removing, sharpening or replacingknives into the cutterhead. Failure to complymay cause serious injury!1. Carefully number each blade with a magicmarker to make them easier to differentiate.2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning thecutterhead pulley and determine the 12 o'clockposition of knife number one. The 12 o'clockposition is the highest point a blade will reachin the cutting arc.3. Loosen table lock screw (A, Fig. 19) and giblock screw (B, Fig. 19) and raise the outfeedtable to the height of blade number one byturning hand wheel (A, Fig. 20). Counter-clockwise will cause the outfeed table to raise.Clockwise will cause the outfeed table tolower. Set a straight edge on the outfeedtable. Position of the table and straight edgeshould look like Figure 21. Use care whenhandling the straight edge near the blades soas not to damage them.4. When the outfeed table and blade number oneare the same height, tighten gib and table lockscrews.Important: Do not change the setting for theoutfeed table again. This will only change if theblades are replaced.5. Bring the straight edge toward the left of thejointer and confirm that blade number one is atthe same height at the left of the table as it isat the right side of the table. (Fig. 22)6. If blade is higher or lower at the right of thetable than it is at the left, slightly loosen fourscrews (A, Fig. 21) by turning clockwise asviewed from the infeed table. Blades areadjusted with jacking screws To lower, turn thescrew clockwise. To raise, turn the screwcounter-clockwise.Blades are set at the proper height when thetop of the blades are 1/16" above thecutterhead.7. Alternately tighten four screws to hold eachblade in place.8. Repeat this process with blades two and three.The outfeed table and cutterhead knives arecorrectly adjusted when all three blades areparallel to the outfeed table and all threeblades are set at the same height in thecutterhead.Figure 19Figure 20Figure 21Figure 22
