necessary so the table rollers are absolutely parallel
above the table surface and are at the same height.
After considerable use, gum and pitch may collect
on the table rollers. If this condition should exist, we
suggest removing it with Delta gum and pitch remover.
Do not scrape off the gum and pitch from the smooth
table rollers with a sharp instrument, because when
the smooth surfaces of these rollers are scratched they
will collect gum and pitch that much faster.
Raising and Lowering the Table
The table can be raised or lowered the amount
necessary by turning the hand-wheel assembly with
the free-turning hand grip which extends from the
left side of the base casting. Each complete turn of
the hand-wheel raises or lowers the table 1 / 1 6". Turn-

ing the hand-wheel forward raises the table and
turning it in the opposite direction lowers the table.
This mechanism is self-locking, by that we mean the
table can be adjusted to any desired height and is
automatically locked in position. Refer to Fig. 1 .
Adjusting Finished Size Scale
The amount of material removed by a single cut
can be any thickness up to Ys". The depth of cut is
controlled by raising or lowering the table the amount
needed.
We suggest the operator take a trial cut on a piece
of scrap stock, then measure the thickness of the stock
accurately and adjust the scale. This can be accom
plished by loosening the two round head machine
screws which attach it to the left-hand column and
set it so the pointer indicates a reading exactly equal
to the thickness of the stock planed. Refer to Fig. 1 8.
The design of this machine is such that the maxi
mum cut which can be taken is Ys". It is impossible
to feed any stock in excess of Ys" thicker than finished
size. If this maximum cut is exceeded after the start

of a cut due to tapering of the stock, the machine will
cease feeding due to slippage of the feed rolls without
damage to the machine. If this condition should occur
disengage the clutch, lower the table sufficiently and
reengage the clutch to complete the cut, and make
subsequent cuts as required. In addition, this scale
has been made very legible and is conveniently mount
ed to eliminate any unnecessary bending and eye strain
on th e part of the operator.
This adjustment must be made each time the knife
blades in the cutting head are sharpened, or if new
knife blades have been placed in the cutter head.
Adjusting Pressure and Maintenance of
In and Out- Feed Rolls
The in-feed roll is a solid steel roll which has been
serrated. The out-feed roll is a solid steel roll which is
smooth across its entire length. These rolls have been
permanently set at the factory for operation with a
2 9/16" cutting circle of the cutting head.
