MAINTENANCE

3. Loosen two screws (A) Fig. 43, and remove

cutterhead guard assembly.

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL THAT

YOUR HANDS DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH

THE KNIVES. WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHEN

HANDLING THE KNIVES.

4. Using wrench (C) Fig. 44, slightly loosen the six knife

locking screws (D) in each knife slot by turning the

screws (D) clockwise. This relieves stress in the

cutterhead.

5. Loosen screws (D) Fig. 44, further, and remove the

knife, knife locking bar and lifter springs located under

the knives. Remove the remaining two knives in the same

manner.

6. Before replacing the knives, make certain the knife

locking bars are thoroughly clean and free of gum and

pitch and adjust the height of the outfeed table to be

.015” above the cutterhead body as follows:

A. Using a straight edge (E) Fig. 45, and feeler

gages (F) that equal .015” adjust the height of

the outfeed table to be .015” above the

cutterhead body (G). Then lock the outfeed table

in place.
