Level planing (for PC5001C only)

► 1. Base (for PC5001C only) 2. Hex wrench 3. Front
roller
To level a surface, the base of the planer should be
aligned with the diamond wheel. The front roller should
be adjusted (use hex wrench) upward to the level
required for the desired stock removal amount.
To change the amount of stock (concrete) removed,
loosen the hex socket head bolts on the base holder
with the hex wrench. Raise or lower the front roller to
adjust the gap between it and the diamond wheel. The
difference is the stock removal amount. Then secure
the hex socket head bolts very carefully.

(for PC5001C only)

loosen the two hex socket head bolts securing the base
on either side.
