dewalt dw735 head asm

[mitch]

While removing the feed roller from my planer, I raised the cutterhead above the planer assembly so high that when I attempt to lower planer head down it now binds up when top screw threads are met. How do I restart the screws and still maintain alignment?

Not sure if you ever figured this out, but I have. Bottom threads are spring loaded. Either get a second set of hands or sit on the top of the machine to manipulate the upper threaded slots while lightly cranking the unit down. It should take fairly easily to threading when manipulated either side to side, corner to corner, or front to back. Make sure it's unplugged before doing any service work.
