Inspect / Adjust Extension Wing Elevation
Extension wing elevation was adjusted in the
factory and should not require adjustments
initially.
The extension wings were adjusted such that the
outside edge of the extension wing is slightly
elevated above the planer bed, and the inside
edge is below the planer bed. This setup
provides adequate support while minimizing
snipe and stock feeding resistance.
1. Disconnect the planer from the power
source!!
2. To inspect extension wing elevation, place
two pennies on each end of the planer bed,
then use the pennies to support a straight
edge. The straight edge needs to be long
enough to span across the planer bed and
the extension wings.
3. If extension wings are properly elevated, the
straight edge should flush with the outside
edge of the extension wings.
4. If adjustment is needed, lift the extension
wing, and locate the stop bolts for setting
elevation.
5. Loosen the jam nuts. Rotate stop bolts to
readjust the elevation of the extension wing.
6. Tighten jam nuts and re-check elevation.
Adjust Cutterhead Height Scale
Cutterhead height scale is pre-calibrated in the
factory. It can be re-adjusted to accommodate a
different viewing angle, or if the pointer is
shifted.
1. Prepare a piece of 2x4 with a flat bottom for
calibration.
2. Plane the board down to 1-1/4” or 1”. Use a
caliper to measure the mid-section of the
board for thickness.
3. Loosen the screws that hold the pointer in
place.
4. Shift the pointer so it is pointing at the exact
value as the thickness of the board.
5. Re-tighten the screws.
