We will use this mechanism to rotate the rods together or individually to adjust height and tilt respectively. Remove the red cover from the front adjustment mechanism.

 +Two allan keys (6-7mm?) hold the arms of the mechanism to the rods. We will use these to rotate the rods. 
 + 
 +1. Get the left-hand edge as close to the same height as the out-feed table as possible (should be pretty close anyway). If it is below the out-feed height even when the mechanism is against the end stop loosen both allan keys, adjust the knob down, re-tighten and retry. 
 + 
 +2. Once the left hand edge of the table is at height, loosen the left-hand allan key. This will stop the left-hand eccentric rod from turning. 
 + 
 +3. Use the handle to rotate the right-hand rod, lifting the right-hand edge of the table up/down. 
 + 
 +4. Rinse and repeat until you have the in-feed table co-planar to the out-feed. 
 + 
 +5. Loosen both allan screws and raise the handle until the mechanism hits the end-stop (0mm). Tighten the all screws. The table should now move up and down, remaining parallel to the out-feed table. ​
