Does anyone have any experience with this machine type and know of the correct procedure to set the rollers? So there is no part of the user manual that offers instructions in setting this, nor do I have the time to return the machine. This should have been set in the factory, but wasn't. After a phone call to Metabo, it transpired that the rollers that feed the material have not been properly set and the bolts that set/adjust them have just been finger snugged but not set in any manner, this results in the rollers being below the level of the cutter head, so whilst the material feeds, it doesn't make contact with the blades. The jointer aspect of the planer works fine, but the thicknesser aspect does not work at all. I recently got a Metabo HC 260c planer thicknesser for squaring some rough sawn wood for a few projects I have coming up.
