your planer is equipped with front and rear
extension wings. Each wing folds up for machine
mobility and folds down for machine operation.
to check the alignment, lay a straightedge across
the table and both wings (see
figure 40). if the
straightedge does not sit flat across the table and
both extension wings, adjustment is needed.

however, with extended use, it is possible that the
locks may wear or come out of adjustment. if you

the way without locking the cutterhead assembly
movement, you may need to adjust it.
