7. Connect switch cord to motor cord and install
fence tilt handle (see Figure 13).
8. Verify outfeed table height is set correctly
with knives/inserts at top dead center (TDC)
(refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on
Page 47) and all knives/inserts are securely
tightened in cutterhead.
9. Verify proper operation of cutterhead guard

table.

over cutterhead and contact fence, or it
drags across outfeed table, then it must be
adjusted (refer to Adjusting Cutterhead
Guard on Page 54 for instructions).
