1.Build the wood blocks by cutting a straight 6' foot long 2x4 in half.
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even height is critical to the accuracy of your overall adjustments. For best results, make the 2x4 square with a jointer and table saw before cutting it in half.
2.Make sure the knives are set to the correct height (refer to Setting/Replacing Knives on Page 36 for detailed instructions).
3.DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
4.Lower the bed rollers below the table surface (refer to Bed Roller Height on Page 26 for detailed instructions).

6.Remove the dust hood, top cover, and belt cover.
7.Use a feeler gauge to adjust the table until there is a 0.040" gap between the wood blocks and a cutterhead knife at BDC, which is the recommended distance for the infeed roller below the cutterhead knife.
8.Lock the table in place, as the wood blocks will now be your reference point.
9.Using the feeler gauges and the wood blocks instead of the Rotacator, perform Steps 8–14 in the previous Using a Rotacator procedure to set the feed rollers, chip breaker, and the pressure bar to the correct distance below the cutterhead knives.
