Page 5: Replacing Planer Knives
REPLACING PLANER KNIVES Remove top cover and dust chute. Loosen 2 screws Fig. 5 (A) and pivot motor assembly forward. Loosen the screws that hold knife locking bar in place Fig. 6 (B). Remove all 3 knives, locking bars and screws from the cutterhead. - Page 6 ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF INFEED AND OUTFEED ROLLERS The infeed Fig. 9 (A) and outfeed Fig. 10 (B) rollers should be 1mm below the cutting circle of the cutter block. To check this use your wooden gauge block and a 1mm spacer, such as a steel rule. The process is the same for both the in and out feed rollers.
- Page 7 Fig. 13 ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION OF INFEED AND OUTFEED ROLLERS Infeed and outfeed rollers are factory set and should not need adjustment. If they do however, the spring ten- sion of the in and outfeed rollers must be sufficient to evenly feed the stock through the planer.It needs to be even along the length of the roller and not be so tight that it causes damage to the timber and jamming.

If your planer is not cutting parallel, this may be caused by the blades not being properly set. If you can find no other reason for the out of parallel, check cutterhead casting is parallel by the following pro- cedure using your wooden gauge block. - Page 9 LUBRICATION The oil should be changed once a year in the gear box using extreme pressure oil.
