G.Secure the planing Knives (173) by tightening the fourteen Knife Screws

(172). Use a piece of scrap wood to hold the Knives in place while tightening. Tighten the Knife Screws equally so that the clamping force is uniform across the Knives. (See Figure N.)

H.Depress the Cutterhead Lock (175) to release the Cutterhead (184). Release the Cutterhead Lock when the Cutterhead can be turned by hand. Then turn the Cutterhead by hand until it is stopped by the self-engaging Cutterhead Lock. (See Figure M.)

4.To level the Rollercase: The Planer will produce an uneven depth of cut (ta- pered cut) if the Rollercase (136) is not parallel with its Base (222). To level the Rollercase with the Base:

A.Plane a test piece of wood to measure the height of the taper. Then deter- mine which corner or side needs adjustment.

B.Turn off the Planer and disconnect the unit from its electrical outlet.

C.Fold the front and rear Extension Tables (223).

D.Carefully lay the Planer on its back, so that the bottom of the unit is facing you. (See Figure P.)
