3. Rotate cutterhead elevation crank ¼ turn
clockwise to raise cutterhead approximately
1
⁄
64
". This will set depth of cut to
1
⁄
32
". Remove
workpiece from planer.
4. Turn planer ON.
5. Feed workpiece into front of planer, making
sure not to stand directly in front of or behind
workpiece to reduce the risk of a kickback
injury.
— If cut is too deep and bogs down planer,
turn planer
OFF immediately and allow it to
stop. Raise cutterhead, remove workpiece,
reduce depth of cut, then repeat
Step 5.
Note: Infeed and outfeed rollers will automat-
ically pull workpiece through planer during
operation. Do not push or pull on workpiece
once feed rollers have engaged it.
6. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller,
measure workpiece thickness. If further plan-
ing is needed, lower cutterhead another
1
⁄
2
turn (
1
⁄
32
") of the elevation crank handle, and
repeat cutting operation.
7. Continue the process described above until
desired workpiece thickness is reached.
Elevation scale shows approximate thick-
ness of workpiece after it has been cut.
Use this indicator to judge when thickness
is approximately correct. For more precise
applications, measure workpiece thickness
with calipers during cutting operation.
3. Rotate adjustment bolts so wings and table
are on the same plane.
Note: No gap should be visible beneath
straightedge when tables are properly
aligned.
4. Use one wrench to prevent adjustment bolt
from rotating while using other wrench to
tighten. Recheck table height from side to
side, then tighten stop nut to secure the
setting.

2. Loosen stop nut and adjustment bolt under-
neath each extension wing (see
Figure 20).
Adjusting Table
Alignment
The front and rear table heights are adjustable for
proper workpiece contact throughout the cut.
