Thickness Table Adjustment; Troubleshooting - Jet JPT-310HH Mode D'emploi

Fig 10
One screwdriver can be used to help
hold the cutterhead in position while
the other one is used to remove the
screw.
It is advisable to rotate all inserts at
the same time to maintain consistent
cutting.
However, if one knife inserts develops
a nick, rotate only the affected insert.
Each knife insert has an etched
reference mark so you can keep track
of the rotations.
Note:
When removing or rotating inserts,
clean saw dust from the screw, the
insert, and the cutterhead platform.
Before installing each screw, lightly
coat the screw thread with machine
oil.
Securely tighten each screw which
holds the knife inserts before
operating the planer!
Loose inserts can be propelled at high
speed from a rotating cutterhead,
causing injury.
Unsuitable, incorrectly mounted, dull
or cracked carbide inserts can work
loose or increase the risk of kickback
considerably.
Use genuine Jet replacement parts
only.
Carbide inserts can not be
resharpened.
Do not extend tool when tightening the
knive insert screw. Do not hit the tool.
Close and lock the cutter block cover
after insert changing or rotation has
been completed.
Reset fence and cutter block guard.

7.2 Thickness Table Adjustment

The thickness table is factory adjusted
parallel to the cutterhead.
Disconnect machine from power
source to inspect.
Use a gauge block (B) and gently rise
the table (C) to inspect (Fig 11).
