Page 27: Planing Tips
Operation Planing tips CAUTION! After every emergency stop wait at least 10 seconds before restarting the machine. If you do not wait, the fuse on the brake card may blow or, if that fuse fails, you will damage the brake card. Planing tips General recommendations If the knives in the upper cutter protrude too much, the last feed roller will not take hold of the workpiece. - Page 28 Spacers can be used to add height to the upper cutter head; however, it is best if there is some overlap of the knives, especially with straight knives. Cutter heads with a 4” height designed for this model can be ordered through Wood-Mizer. Saving a moulding pattern If you have produced a moulding that you know you will produce in the future, it can be wise to take some mea- sures before removing the mounted knives.
