You will need two boards approximately the same size, both approx. 2” x 4” and at
least 2ft long. If the boards do not have planed faces, then join one side of each
board first.
Make sure that the feed rollers are engaged and there is suitable extraction. With the
joined surface always facing the cast iron table, plane the two workpieces, one at
either side of the table (a
s shown in the tolerancing information). Keep passing the
workpieces through until the top surface is completely planed. Always pass the same
workpiece through on the same side of the table. Be sure sure to lock the table in
position each time after raising or lowering it.
When the workpieces have been planed, using a pair of vernier calipers, measure the
thickness of both workpieces. Check that
the two measurements are the same within
tolerance.
If the
measurements
indicate that the
planer is out of
tolerance, then an
adjustment is
necessary. Figure
PL01.1 shows 3 of
the 4 adjustment
positions fo
table. To move
one side of the
table up or down,
make an
adjustment at both
of the screws on
that side by an
equal amount.
r the

fter adjusting, perform the test again and re-adjust as necessary.
