To adjust the height of the outfeed roller, loosen the nut (G, Fig. 16), place a wrench upon the flats of the screw (H, Fig. 16) and rotate the screw as needed.
To adjust the tension of the outfeed roller, turn the lock nut (F, Fig. 16) as needed.

Leveling Cutterhead with Bed
The cutterhead has been leveled with the surface of the planer bed at the factory. However, should future adjustment be needed, proceed as follows:
1.Place a bed and feed roll gauge (or wood block) beneath one end of the cutterhead. Crank the planer bed up until the cutterhead is just touching the gauge, and check the measurement. Move gauge to the opposite end and check.
2.If the cutterhead is not level with the table, remove the drive belts, and the four hex head screws (A, Fig. 17) holding the platform to the stand. Turn the head assembly over to reach the sprocket adjustments underneath the platform.
3.Loosen the cap screws (B, Fig. 17 & 18) near the idler sprocket to relieve tension on the chain. Remove chain from sprocket on the end that needs adjustment.
4.Turn the sprocket (C, Fig. 18) to raise or lower that edge of the table. NOTE: This adjustment is sensitive and it should not be necessary to turn the sprocket more than one or two teeth.
5.After checking with the gauge to make sure the adjustments are correct, place chain back on sprocket,
