I usually adjust the knives slightly above the outfeed table. I use an aluminum straight edge & adjust them using a sheet of printer paper on the outfeed table so that they are about the thickness of the paper above the table. I place the paper on the outfeed table put the straightedge on the paper & rotate & adjust each knife so they just slightly hit the straightedge when I rotate the cutterhead by hand.

Needless to say the jointer needs to be unplugged while doing this.

Bite the bullet and take the blades out completely. If the blades are interfering, but you can't see where, you need a major blade reset anyway. And if the problem is not the blades, you would want to remove the blades to get at the problem (bearing?), just so you don't cut yourself anyway.

Try these folks. They were formerly a Powermatic dealer and still have a number of parts on hand. I was in there yesterday and they are getting away from Powermatic and going exclusively to Sawstop.

could be the way you are feeding/removing the board. snipe is actually the sound the board makes when its end passes over the cutter. the inboard table should be slightly lower than the rear table. pressure and movement must be maintained when feeding the board the entire length of the joiner table.

I have this manual (17 pages) if you still need it. I could scan it and email to you. How do we get in touch?

You may download a copy of the manual here.

I can send you pics of the one I made from plywood for this same jointer. If you're looking for an original I can't help you there.

with high temp refractory mortar for fireplaces

is the recess deep enough on the bed and perp joints if so is the mortar the right consistency. a little tip is to wet the joints with water before jointing. it stop the mortar drying out to quick

On the website http://www.masonryforlife.comthey explain: "Learning to hold the trowel correctly is important and will make the job easier. Gripping the handle with four fingers and putting the thumb on top of the metal band (ferrule) on the handle is how most masons hold a trowel."

kakima is 100% correct, but to add to it so you understand how he got that 27 cubic feet... you can picture a cube. A cubic yard is 3 foot tall x 3 foot wide x 3 foot high. (A cubic foot is 1 foot tall x 1 foot wide x 1 foot high). So 3 x 3 x 3 = 27.

I do not have a clue as to what you have but a simple switch has two connections and you can connect either way.
