1. Build the wood blocks by cutting a straight 6'
foot long 2x4 in half.
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even
height is critical to the accuracy of your
overall adjustments. For best results, make
the 2x4 square with a jointer and table saw
before cutting it in half.
2. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
3. Lower the bed rollers below the table surface
(refer to Bed Roller Height on Page 25 for
detailed instructions).

Figure 41. Wood blocks properly positioned on
the planer table.
5. Remove the dust hood, top cover, and belt
cover.
6. Use a feeler gauge to adjust the table until
there is a 0.040" gap between the wood
blocks and a cutterhead insert at BDC, which
is the recommended distance for the infeed
roller below the cutterhead.
7. Lock the table in place, as the wood blocks
will now be your reference point.
8. Using the feeler gauges and the wood blocks
instead of the Rotacator, perform Steps 7–13
in the previous Using a Rotacator proce-
dure on Page 38 to set the feed rollers, chip
breaker, and the pressure bar to the correct
distance below the cutterhead.
Note: Keep in mind that you will have to
repeat Steps 6–8 above for each change in
distance as specified on Page 38.
