1. Build the wood blocks by cutting a straight
182 cm long 2x4 in half.
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even
height is critical to the accuracy of your over-
all adjustments. For best results, make the 2x4
square with a jointer and table saw before cut-
ting it in half.
2. Make sure the knives are set to the correct
height (refer to Setting/Replacing Knives on
Page 36 for detailed instructions).
3. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
4. Lower the bed rollers
below the table surface
(refer to Bed Roller Height
for detailed instructions).
5. Place the wood blocks
along the sides of the ta-
ble, as illustrated in figure
28.
6. Remove the dust hood,
top cover, and belt cover.
7. Use a feeler gauge to adjust the table until
there is a 0.040" gap between the wood blocks
and a cutterhead knife at BDC, which is the
recommended distance for the infeed roller
below the cutterhead knife.
8. Lock the table in place, as the wood blocks
will now be your reference point.
9. Loosen the jam nut and use the set screw
shown in Figure 44 to adjust the height of the
infeed roller bushing block until there's a gap
of 0.040", which is the recommended distance
for the infeed roller below the cutterhead.

NOTE: Keep in mind that you will have to re-
peat Steps 7–8 above for each change in dis-
tance as specified.
10. Re-check both sides of the infeed roller
and, if necessary, make further adjustments
until the infeed roller height from side-to-side
is 0.040" below the BDC of the cutterhead
knife, then re-tighten both jam nuts.
11. Repeat previous steps for the outfeed roll-
er, but adjust it until it is 0.020" below the BDC
of the cutterhead knife.

12. Perform similar steps as described above
to adjust the height of the chip breaker to
its recommended specification given at the
beginning of this subsection. The adjustment
controls are shown in Figure 30.
13. CB1120A Only: Repeat Step 12 for the pres-
sure bar height adjustment. The adjustment
controls are shown in Figure 31.

14. Re-install the belt cover, top cover, and the
dust hood.
POSITIONING CHIP DEFLECTOR
Chip Deflector Gap Setting: 1/4"
When properly distanced from the cutterhead,
direct the chips into the dust hood, and keeps
them from falling onto the outfeed roller and
being pressed into the workpiece.
Tools Needed: Wrench or Socket 10mm, Fine
Ruler or Calipers.
To adjust the chip deflector gap:
1. DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2. Remove the dust port, top cover, and belt
cover.
3. Use the cutterhead pulley to rotate the cut-
terhead until a knife reaches the closest dis-
tance to the chip deflector (see figure 32), then
measure the distance between the knife and
the chip deflector.
4. If the distance mea-
sured in Step 3 is not
equal to 1/4", then
loosen the four hex
bolts that secure the
chip deflector and ad-
just the gap to 1/4".
5. Re-tighten the hex bolts, then replace the
belt cover, top cover, and dust hood.
CAUTION: Planer knives are extremely sharp.
Please use extra caution when your hands are
near the blades.
SCALE CALIBRATION
Although correctly set at the factory, the scale
can be adjusted for accuracy if it becomes nec-
essary.
