Once your new machine is in place, it must be lev- eled. The four corners of the machine base have leveling bolts for this purpose.

To level the machine:

2.Using a level as a guide, level the machine by adjusting one side up or down, as needed. Turn the leveling bolt clockwise to lift the foot and counterclockwise to lower the foot. Be sure to adjust each side in small, equal incre- ments.

3.Once the machine is level in one direction, rotate the level 90˚ and check again for level.

4.Again adjust the feet as needed. Be sure to use small, equal increments on each side.

5.Re-check for level in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions. Re-adjust if neces- sary.

6.Once the machine is level, tighten the level- ing lock nuts, taking care to not turn the lev- ling bolts.
