REACHING INSIDE PLANER/MOULDER. Never reach inside planer/moulder or remove covers when the planer/moulder is connected to power. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed roller is designed to pull material into the cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation to pre- vent serious injury.

  • Page 23 REMEMBER, moulding knives have many different pro- files, before starting the machine, always verify that the moulding knives do not contact any part of the workpiece guide rails, feed roller swing arm, or the table surface. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER! .
  • Page 24 After switching between planing and molding operations, you must re-adjust the feed roller height and spring ten- sion. Feed roller height and spring tension keeps the workpiece feeding into the planer/moulder without chat- ter or slipping. Rollers that are too high, or spring tension that is too light, can cause the workpiece to chatter and slip.
  • Page 25 —If a certain moulding knife profile does not allow you to adjust the outfeed roller down far enough for proper roller traction, the eccentric stop must be repositioned to the lower hole. To do this, remove the jam nut (Figure 28), reposition the eccentric stop (Figure 29) in the lower hole, and finger tighten the jam nut.
  • Page 26 Before using this planer/moulder, inspect each and every workpiece for the following problems, and be familiar with the hardness of the wood workpiece. Each workpiece must have at least one flat surface to slide along the planer/moulder table. To create a flat surface, pass the workpiece over a jointer ( 31).
  • Page 27 There are some common planing mistakes that must be avoided when planing. CORRECT Only plane one board at a time (Figure 33). Whether you use guide rails or not, never attempt to plane more than one board at a time side-by-side. If one board is slightly lower that the other, the feed roller will only hold the highest board, while the lower board will be free to slip when the knife contacts it.

    The maximum cutting depth for soft wood at full cutterhead width is no more than the wood, the shallower the cutting depth and the slow- er the feed rate should be. A series of light passes typi- cally results in a smoother finish with less snipe. The basic steps of operating the machine as a planer are as follows: DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER!
  • Page 29 The Model W1812 will accommodate most moulding knife profiles. However, you still must pay special attention to workpiece support and knife-to-table clearance. Refer to the following examples to avoid common workpiece setup mistakes. REMEMBER, moulding knives have many different pro-...
  • Page 30 When cutting crown moulding (Figure 37), make a wood- en V-track that can be clamped to the table. The V-track must support at least 50% of the workpiece height on both sides. Do not use the guide rails that came with your machine for crown moulding support.
  • Page 31 Make sure to cut your workpiece to the correct width for the knife being used (Figure 39). To improve knife life CORRECT and workpiece results when cutting in very hard woods, use a table saw to rabbet out some of the profile before running the workpiece into the planer/moulder.
  • Page 32 When cutting edge profiles on workpieces that are taller than they are wide, you must clamp wooden extension rails to the table so they support at least 75% of the workpiece height on both sides (Figure 41). Never attempt to use the low profile metal guide rails that came with this machine if they do not adequately support the workpiece, such as with tall workpieces.
  • Page 33 The maximum depth for a moulding cut in soft wood is ⁄ " deep. However, the harder the wood or the more knots it has, the shallower the cut, and the slower the feed rate must be. The basic steps of operating the machine as a moulder are as follows: DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER! 2.

  • Page 37: Assembly

    Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. However, this machine does need lubrication in other places, such as those shown in Figures 49—51. At a minimum, lubricate these areas every six months, but under heavy use or adverse working conditions, increase lubrication intervals accordingly.

  • Page 40 If the drive chain tensioner rubber foot (Figure 57) wears and the drive chain becomes slack after long-term machine use, the chain will have to be readjusted. The chain should not be tight like a V-belt where there is preload on a pulley and shaft. The sprocket shafts on this machine must be free float- ing with no chain tension against them.
  • Page 41 Due to normal wear and break in, the column ways and the headstock gib will eventually have to be readjusted. To adjust the headstock gib, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER! 2. Clean and lubricate the column leadscrew, gib, and ways.
