Hi, that's a document that's almost 20 years old. If you're trying to setup a machine with the cartridge knife system (what this document is intended for) then it needs to be set correctly to that specification.
This ensures that the knife carriers are in the correct location in the cutterhead, with proper support for the knives. (The head is MAN rated if adjusted properly)
Once you have the cutterhead to outfeed table height set correctly, you then adjust the knife carriers for the correct knife projection above the outfeed table.
If you're doing a Silent Power spiral head adjustment you set the cutters 0.01 to 0.04mm above the outfeed table at hinge and operators side.
Regards, Rod.
