1. Rotate dial indicator to “Up-reading” position (see Figure 1).  
2. Place the dial indicator between the bed and cutterhead at one end of the cutterhead  
3. Gradually reduce the depth of cut until the dial indicator’s plunger is slightly depressed  
by one of the knives. Make sure that the knife is at the lowest point of its cutting arc.

4. Note the reading on the dial indicator face.  
5. Remove the dial indicator and place it in the same position at the opposite end of the  
knife. Read the dial indicator again. If the reading is not equal to the first one, adjust  
one side of the planer bed until the readings are the same at both ends of the knife  
.

aligned with the pointer. Tighten the setscrew.  
Down-reading Position

high point of one end of the bed roller.  
5. Adjust the roller’s height above the planer bed to the specifications in your planer  
instruction manual.

needed per the instruction manual.
