LEVELING
EXTENSION TABLES
For optimum performance, the extension tables, one of
which is shown at (A) Fig. 17, must be level with the
planer table. To check the extension tables and adjust if
necessary, proceed as follows:
1. Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 17, on the planer table
(A) with one end extending out over the extension table
as shown. Check to see if the infeed table is level with
the planer table on both ends of the planer table.
2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (C)
Fig. 17, and adjust stop screw (D) on each side of the
extension table (A) until the extension table is level with
the planer table (E); then tighten locknut (C). Recheck
and make certain inside edge of table extension is level
with the planer table. If necessary, loosen two screws
(F), adjust extension table and retighten two screws (F).
Adjust opposite side of the table in the same manner.
Make certain the extension table is solidly supported
when there is downward pressure on the table.
3. Check and adjust outfeed extension table in the
same manner.

STORING THE POWER CORD

Wire hangers (A) Fig. 18, are provided on the underside
of the infeed extension table as shown, to store the
power cord (B) when the planer is not in use and when
transporting the machine.

ADJUSTING KNIVES

IF THE KNIVES ARE TO BE REMOVED
FOR SHARPENING OR REPLACEMENT, EXTREME
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN AS THE KNIVES ARE
VERY SHARP.
To check and adjust the knives, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
1. Lower the head assembly by turning handle (B) Fig.
15.
2. Remove chip deflector (A) Fig. 19.
3. Carefully place knife setting gage (B) Fig. 20, on the
cutterhead so the rounded sections are directly over the
knife as shown. When adjusted correctly, the knife
should just contact the bottom of the center portion at
each end of gage (B). Check the other knife in the same
manner.
