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. G1021Z Only: Make sure knives are set to
correct height (refer to
Adjusting/Replacing
Knives on Page 28 for detailed instructions).
3. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
4. lower bed rollers below table surface (refer
to
bed Roller height on Page 27 for detailed
instructions).
5. place wood blocks along sides of table, as
illustrated in
figure 57.

the planer table.
6. remove dust port, top cover, belt cover, and
drive chain cover.
7. raise table until wood blocks get close to
cutterhead.
8. use belt to rotate cutterhead and continue
raising table until blocks just barely touch
cutterhead knife/insert at its lowest point of
rotation (BdC).
9. lock table in place. upward pressure of wood
blocks will be holding infeed and outfeed roll-
ers, chip breaker, and pressure bar at same
level as knife/insert at BdC.
10. loosen jam nuts and set screws on each side
of infeed roller (see
figure 58).
11. using a feeler gauge, adjust set screw so
it is 0.040" from roller bushing block (see
figure 58), then tighten jam nut. repeat on
other side of infeed roller.
12. repeat Steps 10–11 with outfeed roller, only
adjust the gaps to 0.020".
