Figure 18. Aligning extension wings.
Extension Wings
Your planer is equipped with front and rear
extension wings. Each wing folds up for machine
mobility and folds down for machine operation.
To check the alignment, lay a straightedge across
the bed and both wings (see Figure
18).
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Loosen the lock nuts and adjustment bolts
underneath each extension wing.
2. Hold a straightedge across the bed and both
wings, and turn the adjustment bolts so the
wings and the table are on the same plane.
3. Without turning the adjustment bolts, tighten
the lock nuts. Recheck to ensure consistency
from side-to-side.
