ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PLANERS 1. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper- before turning on power. ation of planers, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 15. ALWAYS allow the cutterhead to reach full speed before using.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING 1. The 24 planer is shipped complete in one container mounted to a shipping skid. Remove the wooden crate from around the machine. The planer is shipped with the motor, motor pulleys and belts assembled to the machine.
2. Remove the bolts that fasten the machine to the shipping skid. 3. Two lifting lugs are built into the machine, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 3. These lugs can be used to mechanically lift the machine using a forklift and lifting straps.
ASSEMBLING CUTTERHEAD GUARD Position cutterhead guard (A) Fig. 7, on top cover of machine. Align holes in cutterhead guard (A) Fig. 7, with holes in top cover and fasten with six 12mm button head screws (B) and flat washers, five of which are shown. Fig.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The 24 Planer is wired as specified for 200-220 or 440 volt operation. Before connecting your machine to an electrical power system, make certain the motor rating agrees with the electrical system it is to be connected to. NOTE: Power cord and plug are not shipped with the Fig.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: We suggest that when the machine is not in use, the switch be locked in the “OFF” position using a padlock (C) Fig. 14, through the two holes in the start button (A) as shown. Fig.
FEED ROLL SPEEDS Your planer is equipped with feed roll speeds of 20 feet per minute and 30 feet per minute depending on belt placement on the pulleys. As a rule, a faster feed rate is used for general planing operations, while a slower feed rate (because it provides more cuts per inch of stock) gives a finer and smoother finish to the workpiece.

6. Reposition drive belt (E) Fig. 19, on pulleys (F) and (G). When belt (E) Fig. 19, is on the smallest step of motor pulley (G) and the largest step of the gear box pulley (F), the feed roll speed will be 20 feet per minute. When belt (E) Fig.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING TABLE ROLL HEIGHT It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rolls because each type of wood has different behavioral patterns. As a general rule, when planing rough stock, the table rolls should be set high (.003 to .005 ) above the table surface.
7. If an adjustment to the outfeed table roll is necessary, loosen locknut (G) Fig. 26, which is located under the table and below the outfeed table roll (F), and rotate adjustment nuts (H) as necessary, to raise or lower the height of the outfeed roll (F).
3. Loosen and tighten two adjustment nuts (C) Fig. 29, to move motor plate up or down as necessary to increase or decrease drive belt tension.Tighten both adjustment nuts (C) against plate (D) Fig. 29, after adjustment is made. 4. Close both side panels. Fig.
CHECKING, RESETTING AND REPLACING KNIVES When checking, resetting and replacing knives, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Remove locking screw and raise top cover (A) Fig. 33, to expose cutterhead (B). 3. Carefully place knife setting gage (C) Figs. 34 and 35, so the gage is positioned on the radiused section of cut- terhead (B).
12. Carefully replace the springs (not shown), knives (D) CROSS-SECTIONAL Fig. 35, and knife locking bars (G) into the three slots in the VIEW OF cutterhead (B). IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING KNIFE .070 CUTTERHEAD LOCKING BARS (G) FIG. 35, AGAINST KNIVES (D) AS SHOWN IN THE CROSS SECTIONAL ILLUSTRATION, MAKE CERTAIN KNIFE LOCKING BARS (G) ARE INSTALLED AS SHOWN, WITH LOCKING SCREWS (F)
4. Move gage block (B) Fig. 39, directly under chipbreakers (A) as shown. The bottom of chipbreakers (A) Fig. 39, should just touch gage block (B). 5. If an adjustment to the chipbreakers is necessary, loosen two hex nuts (E) Fig. 37, and turn adjustment screws (F) until chipbreakers (A) touch gage block (B) at both sides of the table.
ADJUSTING OUTFEED ROLL The outfeed roll continues to feed the stock out of the machine after the planing operation has been completed and should be set at .030 below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the setting of the outfeed roll, proceed as follows: 1.
4. Place gage block (A) Fig. 47, under infeed roll (D). The bottom of roller (D) should just touch gage block (A). 5. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (E) Fig. 48, and turn adjustment screw (F) until the infeed roll just touches the top of gage block (A).
5. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, lower boot (B) Fig. 51, which is located underneath the table. NOTE: Table elevating handwheel must be unlocked when making this adjustment. 6. Loosen lock screw (C) Fig. 51, and with large pliers (D) turn adjustment sleeve (E) as necessary until table is para- lell with the cutterhead.
