I just took delivery of a new minimax fs30 jointer/planer this week. I am working on removing the packing grease and getting it set up. My machine has the tersa head. I am attempting to rotate the head so that I can remove the grease and also to install the knives, however the head will not rotate. Is there cutterhead lock that I am failing to disengage. I have tried to rotate the head with the tables up and with the tables down with no success. The machine is not connected to power yet. I wonder if the cutterhead just has too much grease to spin. I can rotate the head maybe 10-15 degrees and then it goes back to its original spot, like there is some sort of brake or catch that needs to be disengage. I have not looked inside at the belts yet.

any guidance would be appreciated.

thanks,
Ian
