LEVELING THE TABLE
The table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the factory and no further
adjustment should be necessary.
To check if the table is level with cutterhead, proceed with the following
Steps:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Check if the cutterhead knives are correctly set as explained in
“Checking, Adjusting and Replacing Knives”.
3. Verify that the table is set parallel to the cutterhead by placing a
gauge block (A) Fig.40 directly under the cutterhead on the left hand
side of the table as illustrated. Raise the table until the gauge block
(A) Fig.40, slightly touches the cutthead.
4. Carefully move the gauge block (A) Fig.41, to the right hand side of
the table directly under the cutterhead. The gap between the table
and the cutterhead should be identical with left hand side.
5. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, lower boot (B) Fig.42,
which is located underneath the table.
NOTE: Table elevating
handwheel must be unlocked when making this adjustment.
6. Loosen lock screw (C) Fig.42, and with large pliers (D) turn adjustment
sleeve (E) as required until table is parallel with the cutterhead.
