16” PLANER Thank you for choosing this planer. This unit is carefully tested and inspected before shipment and if properly used and maintained, will provide you with many years of reliable service. To ensure optimum performance trouble free operation a reasonable amount of care and attention is required.
Always turn dust collection system before starting the planer. Figure 5 Fig. 5 CONSTRUCTING GAUGE BLOCK Your Oliver planer has been adjusted at the factory and should need adjustment. Typically poor performance can be attributed to dull knives however if the knives are in good order it may be time to check the machine.
Knife Replacement Knife inserts are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, or replacing knife inserts. The knife inserts on the Jointer are four-sided. When dull, simply remove each insert, rotate it 90° for a fresh edge, and re-install it. No further adjustment is necessary.

DEPTH OF CUT The cutting depth scale is a combination of inch / metric scale, the cutting range is from 0 to 8" (204 mm). *See page 15 for DRO instructions. TABLE LOCKS Before adjusting the table upward, or downward; loosen knob A, after positioning to required position, Fig.
Figure 13 FEED ROLLERS There are two powered feed rollers on your Oliver 16” planer. One is located before and the other after the cutterhead. The feed rollers transmit the work piece through the machine. The downward pressure on the work piece is adjustable.
TABLE ROLLERS Your planer is supplied with two idler table rollers (Figure 15) which help to reduce friction. It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.
FEED ROLLER AND CHIP BREAKER ADJUSTMENTS Figure 18 shows the relationship of the feed rollers and chipbreaker to the lowest point of the cutting circle. As shown in the diagram, both the infeed roller, outfeed roller and chip breaker should all be 0.02” below the lowest point of the cutting circle.

CHIP BREAKER ADJUSTMENT Remove the feeler gauge from the top of the gauge block and then move the gauge block to underneath the chip breaker. Once adjusted correctly, the chip breaker will just barely touch the top of the gauge block. Remove the top cover over the cutterhead.
DIGITAL READOUT The digital scale equipped with 16” planer can serve many applications, however for wood planning we need only concern ourselves with the ON/OFF, SET, and mm/in buttons. When set properly the digital readout will display the thickness of the finished product.
