GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance withALL local
codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify the plug. If it will not fit your electrical
receptacle, have a qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet all electrical codes local
and state. ALL connections must also adhere to NEC and OSHA mandates.
WARNING! IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
WARNING! Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded properly or if the
electrical configuration does not comply with local and state electrical codes.
MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from power source before starting any electrical work.
MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a 120 volt, 60 hertz, single phase motor. Never connect the
green or ground wire to a live terminal. A machine with a 120 volt plug should only be connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the proper gauge of extension cord.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine
will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
CAUTION! USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole
receptacle that accepts the machine’s plug. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

ADJUSTING / REPLACING KNIVES FOR THE SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD
WARNING! MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE.
WARNING! *** Be VERY CAREFUL when handling the knives or cutter tips as they are
EXTREMELY SHARP and can cause serious injury!!! ***
This 13" cutterhead is equipped with 26 indexable cutter inserts. Each cutter insert can be rotated to
reveal one of its two cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply
rotate it 90° to reveal a fresh cutting edge.
In addition, each cutter insert has a reference dot on one corner. As the cutter insert is rotated, the
reference dot location can be used as an indicator of which edges are used and which are new.
When the reference dot revolves back around to its starting position, the cutter should be replaced.
WARNING! NEVER GRASP CUTTERHEAD
BY HAND AS THIS WILL
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
To rotate or change cutter tip inserts:
1. Face the rear of the machine. Remove the Dust Port. Refer back to the section labeled
ATTACHING DUST PORT in the ASSEMBLY section page 13 for information on removal.
2. Use the handle to lower the cutterhead assembly down to about 1” on the scale.
3. Insert the supplied Hex wrench through the hole located on the side of the machine beside
the Repeat Cut indicator. Rotate the cutterhead to a position where a cutter tip is visible. SEE
FIG. 7. next page. (You may have to raise or lower cutterhead to be able to insert the Hex
wrench into the cutterhead)
4. While holding the hex wrench to prevent cutterhead rotation, remove the cutter tip screw
using the provided Torx T-wrench allowing the tip to be removed.
5. Carefully clean all dust and dirt off the cutter tip and the cutterhead seat. Replace or rotate the
cutter insert so a fresh sharp edge is facing outward. If available, use pitch remover to be sure
all wood residue is off the cutterhead, cutter insert, and screws, before attempting to rotate or
replace them. Using a shot of compressed air is also helpful. Be sure to wear safety glasses
when using compressed air.
6. Lubricate the Torx screw threads with light machine oil and wipe the excess oil off the threads.
Install cutter tip insert and torque the Torx screw to 48-50 lb-ft.
