LEVELING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
1. The infeed and outfeed table extensions are attached to the planer. Shipped in a folded, upright position,
the table extensions must be in the down position before planing can begin. For accurate planing, the table
extensions must be level with the planer table.
NOTE:
For optimum performance, always check to make sure that the table extensions are level before
beginning planing operations.
To level:
1. Place a straight edge or level across both the planer table and the table extensions. Check to see if the
extensions are level with the planer table. FIG. 3.
2. If an adjustment is necessary, lift each table extension and loosen the two lock nuts that are located under
the table on each side. Adjust the two stop screws until the extension table is level with the planer table.
3. Press down on the table extension to ensure that the table extension is properly seated.
4. Tighten the lock nuts securely when the leveling adjustments are complete. Do this adjustment on both
extension tables.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF PLANING
The depth gauge indicates the amount of wood being
removed in a planing pass. The workpiece must be
positioned under the depth gauge on the front of the
planer. FIG. 4. Each full revolution of the handle will
raise or lower the cutterhead by 1/16 in. (1.58MM).
Never make a planing cut deeper than:
- 1/8 in. (3mm) for material up to 6 in. (152mm) wide
- 1/16 in. (1.6mm) for material 6-13 in. (330mm)wide
CAUTION:
DO NOT continuously use the planer at
the maximum depth of cut, 1/8 in. (3mm), as it will put
excessive stress on the motor which will damage it.
