LEVELLING 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 with the fol-

lowing steps:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. Check if the cutterhead knives are correctly set as explained in

«Checking, Adjusting and Replacing Knives».

3. Verify that the table is set parallel to the cutterhead by placing a

gauge block (A) Fig.41 directly under the cutterhead on the left

hand side of the table as illustrated. Raise the table until the gauge

block (A) Fig.41, slightly touches the cutterhead.

4. Carefully move the gauge block (A) Fig.42, to the right hand side

of the table directly under the cutterhead. The distance from the

table to the cutterhead should be identical.

5. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, lower boot (B) Fig.43,

which is located underneath the table. NOTE: Table elevating hand-

wheel must be unlocked when making this adjustment.

6. Loosen lock screw (C) Fig.43, and with large pliers (D) turn adjust-

ment sleeve (E) as required until table is parallel with the cutterhead.

Tighten lock screw (C) after adjustment is completed and replace

boot (B).

NOTE: The same adjustment can also be made on the other side of the planer if necessary.
