Feed.Rollers.&.Chip.
Breaker.Heights
It is essential that the feed rollers and chip breaker are
set at the correct distance below the cutterhead knives at
BDC (bottom dead center) to ensure that the workpiece
moves through the planer evenly and the correct distance
from the cutterhead knives.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment
process quicker and easier, we recommend using a
Rotacator for these adjustments (refer to Accessories).
If a Rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two even
sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be used, but
care must be taken when jointing the wood to achieve
accurate results.
