ADJUSTING THE FEED ROLLERS
ADJUSTING THE FEED ROLLER HEIGHT
The feed rollers have been factory set at 0.030" below the lowest point of the knives. However we recommend that you
verify that the feed rollers are
properly set prior to first use.
Important! Always verify that the two knives are properly installed and set to the exact same height in the cutter head before
checking and adjusting the height of the feed rollers.

0.030"
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL LEAD TO POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURY
CAUSED BY STOCK KICKBACK.
Make sure that the feed rollers are set 0.030 inches below the lowest point of the cutter knives as
shown in A so that they can “grip” the board. If the feed rollers are set higher than the lowest point
of the knives as shown in B, they won’t be able to grip the workpiece which will be ejected at high
speeds by the force of the cutter head.
1. Place your gauge block on the table, under the cut-
ter head.
2. Place a 0.030" feeler gauge C on top of the gauge
block, then lower the cutter head until the knife light-
ly touches the feeler gauge D
when manually rock-
ing the cutter head back and forth.
3. Tighten the cutter head lock lever to secure the
cutter head in position.
4. Place your gauge block on the table, under the in-
feed roller E.
