SECTION 4 PLANER SETUP
4.1 Bed Frame Setup
The following setup procedure should be performed whenever the Planer is moved or
reassembled. If surfacing problems occur and misalignment is suspected,
See Section
SECTION 8 for complete alignment instructions. See Section SECTION 3 for Planer
assembly instructions.
DANGER! Do not use a gas engine indoors. Failure to follow this will
result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT! Set up conditions include:

Set up the Planer on firm, level ground and level the Planer.

Use a sawdust collection system when operating under roof or indoors (electric
only).
ADJUSTING THE BED
1. Adjust the frame legs so the Planer appears level; use shims under the legs, if necessary.
2. Run a string from the front bed rail to the rear bed rail near the operator’s side of the
frame. See Figure 4-1.
3. Place IDENTICAL matching spacers between the string and the front and rear bed rails.
4. Measure the distance between the string and the other bed rails.
5. Adjust the frame legs until all bed rails measure the same distance from the string.
