Deflector
chip Deflector Gap Setting
if planer used w/dust Collector ......................
if planer used w/o dust Collector .................
When properly distanced from the cutterhead, the
chip deflector directs the chips into the dust hood,
and keeps them from falling onto the outfeed roller
and being pressed into the workpiece.
items Needed:
Wrench or Socket 10mm ................................... 1
hex Wrench 5mm .............................................. 1
to adjust chip deflector gap:
1. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
2. remove dust hood, top cover, and belt cover.
3. use cutterhead pulley to rotate cutterhead
until a knife/insert reaches closest distance
to chip deflector (see figure), then mea-
sure distance between knife/insert and chip
deflector.
figure 61. Example of chip deflector and
mounting hardware.
4. if distance measured in Step 3 is not equal to
correct chip deflector gap setting, then loosen
flange bolts (see figure 61) that secure chip
deflector and adjust gap to correct setting.
5. re-tighten flange bolts, then replace belt
cover, top cover, and dust port.

calibrating table
Elevation Scale
although correctly set at the factory, the table
elevation scale can be adjusted for accuracy if
necessary.
items Needed
phillips Screwdriver #2 ...................................... 1
Scrap piece of Stock ......................................... 1
Calipers ............................................................. 1
to calibrate table elevation scale:
1.
plane a scrap piece of stock until it is flat and
of even thickness along its length.
Note: Turn board over between each pass.
2.
use calipers to measure board thickness.
3.
if there is a discrepancy between board thick-
ness and reading on table elevation scale,
loosen the screw shown in figure 62, adjust
scale as necessary, then re-tighten screw.
