ADJUSTING FEED ROLLER SPRING TENSION (FIG. 13-14)
The infeed roller (A) and outfeed roller(B) are the parts that feed the
stock while it Is being planed. The feed rollers (A) and (В) are under
spring tension and this tension must be sufficient in order to feed
stock smoothly and evenly through the planer without slipping. The
tension should not be too tight; this can cause damages to the
board. Equal tension should be on both ends of each roller.
О ADJUST INFEED ROLLER
*
Turn screw (C) clockwise to increase tension and counte-
clockwise to decrease tension. Adjust equally at both ends of
the rollers (Fig. 14).
TO ADJUST
*
Turn screw (D) clockwise to increase tension and counterclock
wise to decrease tension. Adjust equally at both ends of the rollers (Fig. 14).
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF OUTFEED ROLLER (FIG. 15)
The outfeed roller is factory adjusted at 0.5 mm below the cutting circle.
Follow theses methods in order to adjust:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Verify that the knives are properly adjusted as indicated under
"Knives" page 7.
3.
Place the gauge block on the table directly underneath the
cutterhead. Use а 0.5 mm feeler gauge, place on top of the
gauge
