Headstock Height
Adjustment
The headstock height can be adjusted via the manual crank handle (used for fine adjustments) or by the power adjustment lever (used for larger headstock movements). The Model G0477 features a height scale (in both inches and mil- limeters) that shows the exact height of the head- stock.
To change the headstock height manually:
1.Rotate the crank handle on the top of the planer/moulder clockwise to raise the head- stock, or counterclockwise to lower the head- stock. Each full turn of the crank handle equals 1⁄16" (1.59 mm).
2.Check the height scale at the front of the planer/moulder, shown in Figure 12, to ensure headstock height accuracy.
