- Page 48 9.1.1 Checking and adjusting the levelness and parallelism of the tables NOTICE Unnecessary adjustments! Adjusting the tables is a complex process. The tables are correctly adjusted at the factory. Unnecessary adjustments often do not lead to better results. ▪ Before adjusting the tables, make sure that the readjustment is really necessary.
- Page 49 Incorrect settings that cause outward-curved (convex) surfaces. ▪ outfeed table slants upwards away from cutterhead. infeed table slants ▪ downwards towards cutterhead. ▪ Both tables slant downwards towards the cutterhead. Incorrect settings despite levelness ▪ Level tables tilted down to the right.
- Page 50 Procedure for checking and adjusting the parallelism and levelness The infeed and outfeed tables are correctly adjusted at the factory. However, incorrect handling during transport can cause the tables to be misaligned and no longer level or parallel to the cutterhead.
- Page 51 Lower the infeed table to the lowest position by turning the height adjustment knob clockwise. Place a metal ruler with a length of at least 590 mm near the fence onto the outfeed table and over the tip of the knife nearest the fence.
- Page 52 10. If the outfeed table is not parallel to the cutterhead (if the metal ruler is raised when rotating the cutterhead), the outfeed table needs to be adjusted: 11. There are four covers on the table surface under which the adjustment and hold down screws are located.
- Page 53 19. Start adjusting the infeed table. Notice! Once you have started adjusting the infeed table, do not make any more adjustments on the outfeed table. Loosen the infeed table lock until a part of the thread of the star knob screw is exposed.
- Page 54 9.1.2 Adjusting the table extensions The table extensions are correctly adjusted at the factory. However, it can happen that the table extensions become misaligned and are no longer level or parallel. In this case, proceed as follows: Place a ruler onto the infeed table and over the right-hand table extension.

Page 55: Restoring Normal Operation
Rotate the eccentric collars behind the table extension to adjust the height accordingly. Once the correct height has been achieved, tighten the set screws and screws. Check for parallelism again. If necessary, repeat the adjustment. 10. Adjust the table extension on the outfeed table in the same way. -
