| |
|---|---|
- Eye protection required

Tool:
- Make sure the guards are in place and working well.

|---|---|
| Shift hands during cut. MAINTAIN PRESSURE ON THE WORKPIECE. |
- Don't cut wood less than 8" long, 3/4" wide or 1/4" thick.
- For wood less than 12" long, 3" wide and 3" thick, a hold-down or push block is required
- Never apply pressure to stock directly above the cutter head. This can lead to the stock tipping into the cutter.
- Wood grain must run in the direction of the cutting.
- Never make cuts greater then 1/8" deep
- Do NOT wear gloves
Setting the Outfeed Table Height
1. Raise the outfeed to its highest point and place a straight edge across the cutter.
2. Turn the cutter head until one row of knives is at its highest point.
| |
|---|---|
| If the outfeed table is too high, the finished surface of the workpiece will be curved. |
| |
|---|---|
| The correct height for the outfeed is exactly level with the knives at the highest point of their rotation. |
| |
|---|---|
| If the outfeed table is too low, the end of the cut gets gouged too deeply. |
3. Lower the outfeed table until the straight edge contacts a knife blade. Rock the head slightly to make sure the apex of the knife is contacting the straight edge.
4. Lock the outfeed table at this setting.
