leveling pad and stud onto each of the foot brackets
at the four bottom corners of the laminator. Thread
third nut on stud below cabinet .
2. Thread stud into 4 leveling pads a nd lock down
with nut. Thread second nut onto stud.
3. Place a carpenter's level front to rear across the two
lower tie bars at one end of the machine.
4. Level this end of the machine front to rear, raising
or lowering the leveling pads by adjusting the mid-
dle nuts on the foot bolts.

machine is level, tighten down the top nuts on the
foot brackets to lock the pads in their current posi-
tion.
