Extension Wings

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 bed and both wings (see Figure 18).

Adjustment Bolt and Lock Nut

Figure 18. Aligning extension wings.

If adjustment is necessary, proceed as fol- lows:

1.Loosen the lock nuts and adjustment bolts underneath each extension wing.

2.Hold a straightedge across the bed and both wings, and turn the adjustment bolts so the wings and the table are on the same plane.

3.Without turning the adjustment bolts, tighten the lock nuts. Recheck to ensure consistency from side-to-side.
