Oliver makes every effort possible to assure that its equipment meets the highest possible standards of quality and durability. All products sold by Oliver are warranted to the original customer to be free from defects for a period of 2 (two) years on all parts, excluding electronics and motors, which are warranted for 1 year.
WARNING Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. Oliver Machinery has made every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is ultimately the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery, the operator must exercise caution, patience, and common sense to safely run the machine.
15. Do not use this Oliver planer for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which may result from that use.
Electrical Connections WARNING! Electrical connections and wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. The machine must be properly grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! This planer is available in both 1-Phase and 3- Phase versions. • Electrical Connections for a 3-Phase Unit This planer is 3-Phase, 220V/440V pre-wired 220V.
Dust Chute Assembly N. The “Set” button is used when calibrating or setting the thickness scale. Mount the dust chute (A, Figure 2) to the planer hood with eight M6x10 hex head screws (B, Figure 2). Make sure the dust collection system has sufficient capacity and suction for your planer.
Changing Units of Measure Press unit button (A, Figure 5) to toggle back and forth between inches and millimeters. Calibrating the Display The following sections will describe the use of a calibrating board. The calibrating board should be made of a hardwood and have one side that has been run through a jointer.
Raising and Lowering Table Turn the handwheel (A, Figure 7) clockwise to raise the table. One revolution equals 1/32” or 0.03”. Note: The handwheel is spring loaded. Push in on the handwheel and rotate until the pins engage the detents. Adjusting Thickness Scale 1.
Knives are extremely sharp. Be very careful when handling knives. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! The Oliver 25” planer was designed to accept 25-1/8” x 1” x 1/8”) knives. Installing straight knives accurately is an important step to achieve a smooth finish.
Setup of Feed Rollers, Chipbreaker and Pressure Bar WARNING! Disconnect machine from the power source before performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! The planer comes set up from the factory and shouldn’t need any adjustment. If you find adjustment is necessary, follow the below listed sections for setting the in-feed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar and outfeed rollers.
Anti-Kickback Fingers Anti-kickback fingers help prevent stock from being kicked out of the machine towards the user. Keep the fingers clean and free from sawdust, pitch gum, etc. so they operate smoothly. Adjustment of In-Feed Roller The in-feed roller should be set 0.02” below the lowest point of knife.
Adjustment of Pressure Bar The pressure bar should be set even with the lowest point of knife. Make sure the knives are set properly see the “Setting / Changing Knives” section on page 11 prior to making any adjustments. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2.
Helical Cutterhead WARNING! Knives are extremely sharp. Be very careful when handling knives. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! The helical cutterhead is set-up with the same relationship to the in-feed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar and outfeed rollers as the straight knife cutterhead.
Adjusting Table Rollers The table rollers come pre-set from the factory and shouldn’t need any adjustment. If you find adjustment is necessary, follow the below listed steps. 1. Lay a straight edge (A, Figure 23) on the table across the roller (B, Figure 23). 2.
Lubrication • Add a few drops of medium weight oil to the six oil cups (A, Figure 25) weekly or every eight hours of use (which ever comes first). • Lubricate the two table elevation screws (B, Figure 26) as needed. Raise the table and remove the two screws holding the top of the accordion cover (C, Figure 26) in place.
Halted Feeding If the in-feed roll takes stock away from you while feeding, then feeding stops before contacting the knives, the chipbreaker is probably too low. Or the in-feed roller is not set low enough, or does not have enough pressure. In a similar situation, the in-feed roll takes the stock, the chipbreakers lift, and stops as you hear the knives contact the material.
