WARNING Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. 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.

11. Before performing any service, maintenance, adjustments or when changing knives disconnect the machine from power source. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used until the maintenance is complete. 12. Do not plane boards with loose knots, nails or any foreign material in the workpiece. Irregular, or warped stock should be jointed first on one side before planing a parallel surface.
Uncrating the Machine Retain all packaging materials in case it becomes necessary to ship the machine to another site. Machine Preparation and Setup WARNING! The equipment used to lift this machine must have a rated capacity at, or above the weight of the planer.
Dust Chute Assembly Mount the dust chute to the planer hood with eight M6x10 hex head screws B. Make sure the dust collection system has sufficient capacity and suction for your planer. Always turn on the dust collection system before starting the planer.
Changing Units of Measure Press unit button A (Fig. 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 (Fig. 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.
ShearTec II CUTTERHEAD Knife inserts are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, or replacing knife inserts. The knife inserts on the 25” Planer 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.
Setup of Feed Rollers, Chip Breaker 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 infeed roller, chip breaker, pressure bar...
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. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Place a hard wood gauge under a knife in cutterhead. Raise table until wood gauge contacts the knife in its lowest position. 3.
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 Gibs Adjust gibs (D, Figure 22) by loosening the hex nuts (E, Figure 22), and turning gib screws (F, Figure 22) so that the ways (G, Figure 22) are lightly contacted. You should be able to get a 0.005” feeler gauge in between the gib and way.
Maintenance WARNING! Disconnect the machine from power source before proceeding with any maintenance, lubrication or assembly! Failure to comply may cause serious injury! Periodic, or regular inspections are required to ensure that the machine is in proper adjustment, and that all hardware is tight.
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.
