ADJUSTINg THE SPRINg TENSION ON THE FEED ROLLERS
The outfeed roller (A) Fig. 37 and the infeed roller (not
visible) feed the workpiece through the planer. The feed
rollers are under spring tension. This tension must be
sufficient to feed the workpiece uniformly through the
planer without slipping, but should not be so tight that
it causes damage to the board. The tension should be
equal at both ends of each roll.
To adjust spring tension on the infeed roller, turn the
screws (B) Fig. 37, right or left, until they are flush with
the top of the casting (C). To adjust the spring tension on
the outfeed roller (A), turn the screws (D) until they are 2
to 3 complete turns below surface of casting (E).
ADJUSTINg THE OUTFEED ROLLER
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The correct setting for the outfeed roller (A) Fig. 38 is
.035" below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the
outfeed roller:
1. Make certain that the knives are adjusted properly
(See ADJUSTINg THE kNIVES).
2. Rotate the cutterhead until the knives are at their
lowest point.
3. Place the gauge block (C) Fig. 39 on the table
directly beneath the cutterhead. Place a .035" feeler
gauge (B) on top of the gauge block and raise the
table until the knife (A) barely touches the feeler
gauge.
4. Do not move the table until the adjustment is
complete.
5. Remove the feeler gauge. Place the gauge block
underneath outfeed roller (A) Fig. 40. The roller
should just touch the top of the gauge block (C). To
adjust, loosen the locknut (D) Fig. 41 and turn the
adjusting screw (E) until the outfeed roller barely
touches the top of the gauge block. Repeat at the
opposite end of the feed roll.
