18Outfeed Table AdjustmentWhen you receive the jointer, the knives havebeen pre-set at the factory. However, the heightand parallelism of the knives with the outfeed tableshould be checked, and any needed adjustmentsmade, before putting the jointer into operation.Adjust the height of the outfeed table as follows:1. Disconnect jointer from power source.2. Carefully number each blade with a marker tomake them easier to differentiate.3. Place a straightedge upon the outfeed tableand extend it over the cutterhead (Figures 25and 26).Jointer knives are dangerouslysharp. Do not grab thecutterhead itself to rotate it! Failure to complymay cause serious injury.4. Rotate the cutterhead, using the drive belt orpulley, until knife number one is at its highestpoint. The apex of the knife should just barelycome in contact with the straightedge.If the apex of the knife number one just makescontact with the straightedge, no adjustment isrequired for the outfeed table. Proceed to theSetting Cutterhead Knives section.If the apex of the knife number one comesbelow the straightedge (a gap exists) orpushes the straightedge up, proceed with thefollowing steps:5. Loosen both gib lock screws (B, Fig. 18) andthe lock knob (Figure 25).6. Raise or lower the outfeed table until thestraight edge contacts the knife tip, as shownin Figure 26. Using the drive belt or pulley,rock the cutterhead slightly to make sure theapex of the knife is just barely contacting thestraight edge.When adjustment is complete:7. Lock the outfeed table at that setting bytightening the lock knob (Figure 25) and giblock screws (B, Fig. 18). The outfeed tableadjustment is complete.The outfeed table adjustment is only made againstone knife (blade number one was arbitrarilyselected here). After the outfeed table has beenset at the correct height, do not change it exceptfor special operations or after replacing knives.After this adjustment is completed, it is necessaryto proceed to the Setting Cutterhead Knivessection to verify that all three knives are at thecorrect height and parallel to the outfeed table.Figure 25Figure 26
