Tools Needed:
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Wrench 14mm ................................................... 1
The amount of tension or downward pressure of
the outfeed roller needs to be enough to pull the
workpiece along the planing path without binding,
and prevent snipe to the end of the workpiece
by keeping it firmly on the planing table. Tension
requirements will be different for rough lumber
and milled lumber.
To adjust infeed roller tension:
1.

2. Remove the top right and left access panels
and identify the infeed roller tension springs
(see Figure 44).

lumber.
