ADJUSTING ROLLERCASE LEVEL
Refer to Figure 33.
The planer/molder willproduce an unevendepth of cut
(tapered cut) ifrollercase is not parallelwith base. To
restore parallelismof rollercasewith base:
• Using a test piece, measure height of the taper.
Determine which corner or side needs adjustment.
• Turn planer/molder off and disconnectfrom power
source.
• Foldfront and rear extension tables.
• Lay planer/molder carefully on itsback so that bot-
tom side of base is facingyou.
• Loosen two socket head boltson the idler bracket.
Loosen chain bysliding idler bracket.
• Carefullyrotate the sprocketbyhandto changethe
