If all the quadrants have a value other than 
zero, then the Z height must be adjusted 
(otherwise, skip to B10). To do this, move the 
tool setter to the back left quadrant. Use an 
8mm combination wrench to adjust the 
[10245] M5 x 70 HHCS on the upper Z limit 
switch leveling block (on the right side of the 
machine). Turning counterclockwise when 
viewed from above will increase the Z height, 
and clockwise will decrease the Z height.

Repeat steps B1 to B5 until the tool setter 
reads zero. The Z height is now set correctly in 
relation to the back left quadrant of the bed.

B8

Recheck the Z height at each quadrant. If the 
tool setter reads zero at all quadrants, then 
the bed is level and you can skip to Section A. 
If the tools setter does not read zero at any 
quadrant, the bed is not level.
