OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

TABLE RAISING AND
LOWERING CONTROLS
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
For fast easy changes in thickness settings to accom- modate thick or thin stock, the table can be rapidly raised or lowered by pulling up or pushing down on the table raising and lowering control lever (C) Fig. 9. NOTE: The machine must be turned "ON" and the feed rolls engaged when doing this.
Fine adjustment of the table height can be made by loosening lock knob (D) Fig. 9, and turning table raising and lowering handwheel (E). Tighten lock knob (D) after table adjustment is made. The handy English/Metric Scale (F) indicates the desired table height setting.
The English/Metric scale and shelf (G) Fig. 10, located on the front of the table is used to quickly determine the thickness of stock, before or after planing, by simply placing the stock on the shelf as shown in Fig. 10. This enables you to quickly position the table for the next cut.
NOTE: The setting of the table to its final position should always be made by raising the table to the desired set- ting and not lowering the table. This insures that all backlash will be removed from the raising and lowering screws.
