To use wood blocks to check/adjust heights:
1. Build 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 MACHINE FROM POWER!
3. G1033 & G1033Z Only: Make sure knives
are set to correct height (refer to Adjusting/
Replacing Knives on Page 26 for detailed
instructions).
4. Lower bed rollers below table surface (refer
to Bed Roller Height on Page 25 for detailed
instructions).
