INSPECTION Before putting power to the machine, check that all screws are tight, that all mechanical functions work freely and that the cutterhead turns freely without knife contact with the chipbreaker or pressure bar. ADJUSTMENTS Tools required Philips screwdriver Hex wrenches (provided) Open-end wrench (provided) DEPTH OF CUT Depth of cut is controlled by raising or lowering the table. This is done by using the handwheel (A), shown in Figure 3. 1. Loose

OPENING HOOD To open the hood for access to the cutterhead, remove the two hex screws with the 22mm wrench provided. See Figure 6. KNIFE INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT CAUTION: Use care when placing hands near knives as they are extremely sharp and can cause severe cuts. Installing knives on a planer is an exacting process. If the knives are not to be jointed and ground, end-to-end and knife-to-knife relationship must be held within .001" (.03mm) for accurate and s

WARNING: After installing knives, re-check all gib screws. Loose gib screws can result in knives being thrown out of the cutterhead, causing severe damage to the machine and possible serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.

To adjust the infeed roll: 1. Place a bed and feed roll gauge (accessory #2230002) under a knife in the cutterhead and raise the table until the gauge contacts the knife at the apex of its curve. See Figure 10. NOTE: If a bed and feed roll gauge is not available, use a finished block of wood with notches cut out for the table rolls, and a feeler gauge. See Figure 11 for an example of a wood block used for a gauge. 2. Move the gauge to the extreme left side of the infeed roll

If it is too high, a shallow "clip" will occur at each end of the board. If it is too low, stock will not feed through. Use a bed and feed roll gauge to set the full length of the pressure bar to be .000-.001" (.02mm) above the arc of the cutterhead. Figure 13 shows the height adjustment screw (C) and the spring tension adjustment screw (D) for the pressure bar. This initial setup is a starting point and final adjustment may have to be made during a test cut. OUTFEED ROLL T

4. Repeat the process for the left side, and then re- check the right side. It is important that both ends of the table rolls be the same height to help prevent skewing of the board as it feeds through the machine. 5. Re-tighten the hex nuts (C-Fig. 15) on both ends of the table roll. Repeat for other roll. TABLE ADJUSTMENTS The planer table is raised and lowered by twin screws supported on bearings, and is guided by machined surfaces on the side panels. The fit-up to prevent

Learning to read a board for imperfections will save hours in adjusting a planer to operate properly. Following are some problems that may arise and their probable solutions: FEED RESTRICTION: This is caused either by the table rolls being set too low for roughing operations or from a low pressure bar. About 90 percent of the time, the pressure bar is too low. As the sharp edge of the planer knives wear, you must compensate for this wear by raising the pressure bar an equal amo

CHATTER: Chatter marks usually appear on thin material. See Figure 21. Even at their lowest point, the table rolls are too high to handle thin material. Solve the problem by either using a slave board or making an auxiliary table out of Formica countertop material, cleating at each end of the table to keep it stationary. TAPERS: If the machine planes a taper across the full width of the board, as shown in Figure 22, the table is not parallel with the cutterhead. First check tha

MAINTENANCE Periodic or regular inspections are required to ensure that the machine is in proper adjustment, that all screws are tight, that belts are in good condition, that dust has not accumulated in the electrical enclosures, and that there are no loose or worn electrical connections. Buildup of sawdust and other debris can cause your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic cleaning is not only recommended but mandatory for accurate planing. Close-fitting parts, such as the
