Do you have to exactly level the machine for optimum use? I have just purchased a W3922 and it is level front to back, but slightly out side to side. Will this make a difference.

By the way, Excellent machine. The old adage, you only get what you pay for springs to mind with these machines. The build quality is outstanding and performance superb, very quiet.

Hello Paul. I don't think it will matter if it's a little out. The main purpose of leveling is to prevent the machine rocking about on spin. As long as it's reasonably level and not uneven it should be fine.
