LEVELING THE TABLE

The table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the factory

and no further adjustment should be necessary. To

check if the table is level with the cutterhead, proceed as

follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM

POWER SOURCE.

2. Check to see if the cutterhead knives are set

correctly as explained in section “CHECKING,

ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES.”

3. Then check to see if the table is set parallel to the

cutterhead by placing gage block (A) Fig. 49, directly

under the cutterhead on the left hand side of the table as

shown. Raise the table until gage block (A) Fig. 49, just

touches the cutterhead.

4. Carefully move gage block (A) Fig.50, to the right

hand side of the table directly under the cutterhead. The

distance from table to cutterhead should be identical.

5. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, lower

boot (B) Fig. 51, which is located underneath the table.

NOTE: Table elevating handwheel must be unlocked

when making this adjustment.

6. Loosen lock screw (C) Fig. 51, and with large pliers

(D) turn adjustment sleeve (E) as necessary until table is

paralell with the cutterhead. Tighten lock screw (C) after

adjustment is made and replace boot (B). NOTE: The

same adjustment can also be made on the other side of

the planer if necessary.

ADJUSTING TABLE HEIGHT SCALE

The table height scale indicates the distance the table is

from the cutting circle (depth of cut). To check and

adjust the pointer, proceed as follows:

1. Run a piece of wood through the planer and stop the

machine.

2. Measure the thickness of the planed end of the

stock as shown in Fig. 52. If an adjustment is necessary,

loosen screw (A) Fig. 53, adjust pointer (B) and retighten

screw (A).
