    Remove the screws holding the base of the machine to the skid. Use the lifting eyes on front and back of the planer for hoisting it off the skid. See Figure 1. Make sure the hex nuts are tightened before lifting. The eyes should be removed once the planer is situated.

  • Page 9: Inspection

    The pointer (D) can be adjusted if the scale should ever need recalibrating. FEED RATE ADJUSTMENT The Model 201 is equipped with selectable feed speed rolls that feed stock at 20 and 30 feet per minute. To adjust speed, turn lever shown in Figure 4.

  • Page 10: Opening Hood

    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"...

  • Page 11: The Feed System Of Your Planer

    The infeed roll is under spring tension and this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the planer without slipping but should not be so tight that it causes damage to the boards. The tension should be equal at both ends of...

  • Page 12: Chipbreaker

    To adjust the infeed roll: 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.

    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 the table from rocking is controlled by two gibs in front.
  • Page 15 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 amount on each side.
  • Page 16 If they are, then the table itself must be adjusted. See “Table Adjustment” above. TWISTING: If material twists while feeding through the planer, either the table rolls, pressure bar, or outfeed roll may be out of level. Place the bed and feed roll gauge (or a gauge...

  • Page 17: Maintenance

    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.
