once your new machine is in place, it must be lev-
eled. the four corners of the machine base have
leveling bolts for this purpose.
To level the machine:
1. loosen the lock nuts on all four corners, then
adjust the leveling bolts until all four touch the
floor (
figure 6).
2. using a level as a guide, level the machine
by adjusting one side up or down, as needed.
turn the leveling bolt clockwise to lift the foot
and counterclockwise to lower the foot. Be
sure to adjust each side in small, equal incre-
ments.
3. once the machine is level in one direction,
rotate the level 90˚ and check again for
level.
4. Again adjust the feet as needed. Be sure to
use small, equal increments on each side.
5. re-check for level in both the left-to-right and
front-to-rear directions. re-adjust if neces-
sary.
6. once the machine is level, tighten the level-
ing lock nuts, taking care to not turn the lev-
ling bolts.
