4.Make sure the deflector is beveled toward the cutterhead. Move the deflector until the edge is the correct distance (given above) from the closest carbide insert. Use the cutterhead pulley to rotate the cutterhead to ensure clearance.
5.Re-tighten the mounting bolts and return the top cover to the planer.
Scale Calibration

Phillisp Screwdriver | ........................................... 1 |
Calipers | 1 |
The scale can be adjusted for accuracy. The machine will need to be run to make proper adjustments.
To calibrate the scale:
1.Set the table to the approximate thickness of your test lumber. Measure the lumber with calipers to determine its exact thickness.
2.Move the table to 1⁄16'' under the thickness of your lumber and feed your test board through the planer.
3.Turn the handwheel one full rotation and run the board through once more. Turn the board over and repeat.
