- When replacing inserts on the cutterhead, be sure to power down your machine for safety.
- Use an air blow gun and a wire brush to clear away chips and dust from the cutterhead, particularly around the insert seats, to avoid damaging the inserts or leaving marks on the wood.
- Turn the screw anti-clockwise to loosen. (If it's too tight or stuck, gently knock it, then loosen it with a torque wrench. Be mindful not to hit the insert.)
- Rotate the insert 90° to gain a fresh edge; ensure the orientation of the marks is the same, so you don't mix up the old and new.
- Press the carbide insert lightly and slip it into the seat, then turn the screw clockwise to secure it tightly to the cutterhead.
- The suggested torque for the knives is 6Nm.
- Ensure the carbide inserts are firmly in place in the insert seats to avert any potential breaking of the insert knives or cutting lines on the wood.
- Inspect the carbide inserts before operating the machine -- if any are broken, substitute them promptly to forestall risks or harm to items. Regularly ensure that all screws are securely tightened.
- The paper instructions feature incorrect images! Since the tops of the knives won't align with the top of the cutter shaft wall, the pictures below are accurate.
