To use wood blocks:
1. Build wood blocks by cutting a straight 6-foot-
long 2x4 in half.
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even
height is critical to the accuracy of your
overall adjustments. For best results, make
the 2x4 square with a jointer and table saw
before cutting it in half.
2. G0890 Only: Make sure knives are set to
correct height (refer to
Adjusting/Replacing
Knives on Page 27 for detailed instructions).
3. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
4. Place wood blocks along sides of table, as
illustrated in
Figure 45.

the planer table.
5. Remove top cover, belt cover, and gearbox
cover.
6. Lower headstock until wood blocks get close
to cutterhead.
7. Use belt to rotate cutterhead and continue
lowering headstock until blocks just barely
touch cutterhead knife/insert at its lowest
point of rotation (BDC).
8. Upward pressure of wood blocks will be hold-
ing infeed and outfeed rollers at same level
as knife/insert at BDC.
9. Loosen jam nuts and set screws on each side
of infeed roller (see
Figure 46).
10. Using a feeler gauge, adjust set screw so
it is 0.040" from roller bushing block (see
Figure 46), then tighten jam nut. Repeat on
other side of infeed roller.
11. Repeat Steps 10–11 with outfeed roller, only
adjust the gaps to 0.020".
