Extension Wing/ Table Alignment
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.

Elevation Lock
Adjustment
The elevation lock lever adjustment is set at the factory and should not require adjustment. However, with extended use, it is possible that the locks may wear or come out of adjustment. If you notice that the elevation lock lever is lowering all the way without locking the cutterhead assembly movement, you may need to adjust it.
