Squaring Headstock
The headstock is properly squared to the planer
table at the factory and should only require
adjustment if the elevation leadscrews become
misaligned. Elevation leadscrews may become
misaligned if they are not lubricated regularly,
or there is a limit switch failure and leadscrews
are driven past headstock height capacity. If you
notice the headstock binds when raising or lower-
ing, then check to see if headstock is square to
planer table.
