- Turn the cutter head so that the block will not press against the knives or the knife slots.
- Turn the crank that adjusts the machine table height, so that the block slightly lifts the
cutter head
- Tighten the screws of the bearing housings.
C. Adjustment with two long blocks
- Placing the absolutely level two blocks on the machine table directly under the cutter
head

slots.

IMPORTANT! When the bearing housings of the upper cutter have
been adjusted, or when the takeoff of the planing knives has been
changed, the position of the rotating scale must be calibrated. The
height scale indicator on the front side of the machine may also need
adjustment.
Leveling the upper cutter straight planer knives
The upper cutter knives are adjusted in a similar way to the lower cutter knives. However,
there is an aluminum knife-setting block that is supplied with the machine for the purpose
of setting the upper cutter knives. This setting block can be found in the parts box that is
shipped with the machine.
1. Loosen (do not remove) the knife gib lock bolts.
2. Place the aluminum setting block (supplied) next to one of the knife adjustment screws.
