To adjust the table parallelism:
1. Place the straightedge on the outfeed table
so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower
the outfeed table until the straightedge just
touches the cutterhead body, as shown in
Figure 57 (rotate the cutterhead if necessary).
2. Remove the set screw from each of the four
eccentric bushings (see Figure 61) under the
outfeed table, and loosen the set screws under-
neath those removed set screws.

3. Place the straightedge in one of the positions
shown in Figure 62, and adjust the table (a
small hammer and punch or pin-type spanner
wrench may be necessary to turn the eccentric
bushings) so that the straightedge touches the
cutterhead while lying flat across the outfeed
table. Repeat this step with each of the remain-
ing straightedge positions as many times as
necessary until the outfeed table is parallel with
the cutterhead.

4. Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccentric
bushings on the outfeed table.
5. Remove the set screw from each of the four
eccentric bushings under the outfeed table,
and loosen the set screws underneath those
removed set screws.
6. Place the straightedge halfway across the infeed
table and halfway over the outfeed table, and
adjust the infeed table even with the outfeed
table, as shown in Figure 59.
7. Place the straightedge in one of the positions
shown in Figure 60, and adjust the eccentric
bushings under the infeed table so the straight-
edge lies flat against both tables. Repeat this
step with each of the remaining straightedge
positions as many times as necessary until the
infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table.
8. Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccentric
bushings on the infeed table.
9. Set the outfeed table height (see Page 30).
10. Set the knives (refer to Page 38).
11. Reinstall the cutterhead guard and fence.
