Model G0477 15" Planer/Moulder
-19-
Headstock Height
Adjustment
The headstock height can be adjusted via the
manual crank handle (used for fine adjustments)
or by the power adjustment lever (used for
larger headstock movements). The Model G0477
features a height scale (in both inches and mil-
limeters) that shows the exact height of the head-
stock.
To change the headstock height manually:
1. Rotate the crank handle on the top of the
planer/moulder clockwise to raise the head-
stock, or counterclockwise to lower the head-
stock. Each full turn of the crank handle
equals
1
⁄16" (1.59 mm).
2. Check the height scale at the front of the
planer/moulder, shown in Figure 12, to
ensure headstock height accuracy.
To change the headstock height using the
power adjustment lever (Figure 13):
1. While the machine is running, push the power
adjustment lever up to raise the headstock, or
push the lever down to lower the headstock.
2. Check the height gauge at the front of the
planer/moulder to ensure headstock height
accuracy.
