ADJUSTING / REPLACING KNIVES FOR 40200H-CT 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: Set SNIPE LOCK to UNLOCKED position. 

1. 

Use the handwheel to lower the cutterhead assembly down to about 3” on the scale. 

2.  Face the rear of the machine. Remove the Dust Port. Refer back to the section labeled 

ATTACHING DUST PORT on page 13. 

3.  Remove the cutterhead Dust Chute assembly. SEE ATTACHING DUST PORT page 13. 
4.  On the handwheel side of the machine, insert the supplied Hex wrench into the slotted 

hole under the handwheel and into the cutterhead. To do so, you will have to move the 
plate to the left. SEE FIG A on the following page. (You may have to raise or lower 
cutterhead to be able to insert the Hex wrench into the cutterhead) 

5.  Using the Hex wrench, rotate the cutterhead to a position where a cutter tip is visible. SEE 

FIG B following page.   

6.  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 or replaced. SEE FIG B. 

7.  Clean all dust and dirt off the cutter tip and the cutterhead pocket from which the cutter tip 

was removed and 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. 

8.  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 inch/ pounds.
