Alignment (Adjustments)

Extension Assembly Alignment

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unex-
pected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the
thickness planer in. The power cord must remain
unplugged whenever you are adjusting or aligning
the thickness planer.
NOTE: Align only one extension at a time. Elevate the
motor enough to give a proper view of the table body and
clearance of the knives.
WARNING: Knives are extremely sharp and could
seriously injure your hands or arms.
1. Place a straight edge across table body and over
infeed extension as shown. Loosen locking nut and
adjust each side of the table until the straightedge
touches the outer edge of table extension. Tighten the
locking nuts.
2. Repeat step 1 for outfeed extension.

Adjusting the Thickness Indicator

The elevation indicator is preset at time of manufacture.
To check indicator select a piece of stock at least 12" long
and 3/4" thick. Set planer to 11/16" and run stock through
planer. Measure wood after planing and if necessary,
loosen screws to adjust elevation indicator to agree with
measurement.
