ADJUSTING BELT TENSION (FIG. 8)
Use the two nuts (D) to adjust the belt tension (Fig.8) When achieved
proper position of adjustment tighten bolts to hold in place.
ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. 9)
Planer has been factory adjusted, and requires no further modifica-
tions; however considering the handling and transit movement from
the warehouse to the destination, minor adjustments may be need-
ed before starting work operations.
To adjust: you will need a straight edge, a feeler gauge and a home
made gauge block made of hardwood. The gauge block can be
made by following the dimension illustrated in (Fig.9)
KNIVES (FIG. 10)
TO REPLACE: USE THE
FOLLOWING
METHODS:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Remove the four screws, as illustrated in (Fig.10); remove the top cover.
3.
Loosen the two knobs and remove pulley cover.
1.
Use knife gauge and verify all three knives for proper setting as
illustrated in (Fig.11)
2.
A properly placed gauge should slightly touch the bottom of
the center protrusion of the gauge.
3.
If adjustment is required; slightly loosen the knife locking bars of
all three knives by turning the fifteen knife locking screws into the
knife locking bars. Screws should just be loose enough to relieve
stress in the cutterhead without disturbing the knives setting.
4.
Use the knife gauge to adjust the knife that needs to be ad-
justed; loosen the five locking screws by turning them into the
knife locking bar.
5.
As the knife locking bar becomes loose, the springs under the
knife will raise until it contacts with the center portion of the
gauge. Close up the knife locking bar by lightly backing out the
five screws against the slot. Temporarily tighten the knife into slot
in order to hold in position.
6.
If additional knives must be reset repeat steps 4 & 5.
7.
After all three knives are set, tighten the five screws against the
slot starting with the end screw and then the center screws.
Make sure knife is securely tightened to cutterhead before
proceeding with the next two knives.
