ADJUSTING CUTTERHEAD PARALLEL ТО TABLE
(FIG. 20-21-22)
The cutterhead hos been pre-set parallel to the table at the factory,
therefore no further adjustments are required.
If your machine is planing a taper; verify to see if knives are proper-
ly set in the cufterhead. Due to transport handling
verify that the
table is parallel to the cutterhead.
If adjustments are required follow these procedures:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Place the gauge block on table directly under cutterhead as
illustrated. Rise the table until cutterhead slightly touches the
gauge block.
Move gauge block to opposite end of table, as illustrated in (Fig. 20).
If cutterhead is not parallel, tilt planer on its side as illustrated іп
(Fig.21). Remove bolt (C) and loosen bolt (D); this will allow you
to move
the idler sprocket assembly far enough
to release
tension on the chain. Remove chain from sprocket on the end
that needs to be adjusted.
5.
Тит sprocket (Р) by hand as illustrated in (Fig.22), adjust the first
corner with the remaining three.
Note:
This adjustment
is very sensitiv e and
it should
not be neces -
sary fo turn the sproc ket more
than
one
or two teeth.
6.
Turning sprocket clockwise will decrease the distance between
the table and cutterhead. Counter-clockwise will increase the
distance.
LUBRICATION (FIG. 23)
When lubrication needs to be changed:
1.
Loosen the nut В on the out feed hole.
2. Clean out old fubrication and let it drain.
3.
Tighten nut В.
4.
Replace clean lubricant by hole A.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.
Close fitting parts, such as the lock-bars and the planer
cutterhead slots should be cleaned with a brush, remove
any particle clinging to the equipment and slightly dampen
with oil.
Remove any accumulation from the feed rollers and tables
with a non-flammable solvent.
The gear box oil should be changed once a year.
The four fable raising screws should be lubricated as required
using a common grease.
