WARNING
!
Double check knife adjustement and especially
all 24 screws for tightness.
TABLE PARALLEL TO CUTTERHEAD
The working table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the
factory and no further adjusment should be necessary. If
your machine is planing taper, first check to see if the
knives are set properly in the cutterhead.
Then check to see if the working table is set parallel to the
cutterhead
WARNING
!
Make certain that machine are disconnected
from the power source.
1.
Place the gage block (not included) on the working
table directly under front edge of head casting. Make slight
contact by
gently raising table.
2.
Move the gage block to the opposite end of the
working table and adjust it in the same manner.
CONCLUSION: The distance from the working table to
the edge of the head casting should be the same.
If not, contact a qualified technician.
FEEDING ROLLERS
The infeed roller and outfeed roller are those parts of the
planer that feed the stock while it is being planed. The in-
feed roller and outfeed roller are under spring tension and
this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly
through the planer without splitting but should not be so
tight that it causes damage to the board. The tension
should be equal at both ends of each roller.
To adjust the spring tension of the infeed/outfeed roller,
turn the screw and also the screw on the opposite end of
the infeed/outfeed roller with an Allen key.
If the Rollers tension is too heavey it will result in a
important snipe at the end or the beginning of the board.
