PLANER TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Height adjustment of the planer's table is made with the
Handwheel (#193, FIG. 11, A). One full turn of the crank
changes the height of the Planer's Table (#386, B) by
5/32".
- Clockwise Turning = raises the planer bed
- Counter-Clockwise Turning = lowers the planer bed.
The planing thickness is indicated on the Scale (#172, C).
A maximum of 1/8" material can be
removed in one pass through the planer. Do not exceed
this depth of cut or damage to your machine may result.
The maximum thickness of stock to be planed is 8", and
the maximum width of boards is 12" wide.
ADJUSTING THE EXTENSION TABLE
An Extension Table (#422) with rollers is supplied pre-
installed on the planer to help support lumber as it exits
the machine during use. FIG. 12.
1. The rollers on the extension table should be level
with the planer's table. Use a straight edge to check and
confirm that the extension table is properly aligned in
height with the planer's table.
2. If the extension table is properly aligned, make sure
that the bolts that secure the extension table to the
planer's table are tightened. If the extension table is not
level, loosen the bolts so that the extension table can be
positioned correctly level with the planer's table.
3. Once the extension table is positioned level with
the planer's table, secure it in place by tightening the
fasteners.

Should the cover ever be opened while the machine is run-
ning, these switches will stop the machine from operating.
NOTE: When working on the planer, the machine should
