A depth of cut of 1.5mm or less is recommended. Note: Cutterhead Guard Properly positioned, the cutterhead guard (H) should rest against the fence (A). Fence Movement Figure 6 Figure 7 Referring to Figure 7: The fence (A) can be moved forward (B) or backward (C) across the width (W) of the table. It also tilts up to 45 degrees backwards (D).

Figure 10 Figure 11 Setting Cutterhead Knives (straight knives only) Before performing any adjustments in this section, the infeed and outfeed tables must be Important: coplanar. Cutterhead knives are dangerously sharp! Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening or replacing knives into the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury 1.
Disconnect machine from power source before making any adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 1. Disconnect machine from the power source. 2. Remove the cutterhead guard (B, Fig. 8). Cutterhead knives are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into the cutterhead.
6. Test the locking function and repeat if necessary. Belt Replacement Refer to Figure 14. Disconnect machine from power source before making any adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. Preparation To replace the cutterhead drive belt and/or the planer feed-roller belt, the jointer fence assembly and two back panels must first be removed as described below.

Figure 15 Figure 16 Figure 14 10.8 Feed roller height adjustment Refer to Figure 15. The height of the infeed and outfeed rollers has been set by the manufacturer for planing operations. If this setting should ever need adjustment, it is done using the screw and nut (A1, A2, Figure15) at each end of the rollers.
roller. NOTE: Feed rollers must remain parallel to the table, and about 1/32” below the cutting arc of the knives or knife inserts. 5. Adjust any of the four screw/nut assemblies as needed. 6. Use a gauge on the planer table to verify the height of the rollers in relation to the cutterhead. 7.
7. With a 13mm wrench, loosen four hex cap screws (H) located at each corner of the column support (J). 8. Bring the table parallel to the cutterhead by adjusting four setscrews (K) located at each corner of the column support (J) next to the hex cap screws (H). 9.

while the right hand pushes the workpiece in a smooth, even motion toward the cutterhead. After the cut is under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand is transferred to the outfeed side (Figure 18) and presses down on this part of the workpiece, at the same time maintaining flat contact with the fence.

7. Do not push or pull on the workpiece. Move to the rear and receive the planed lumber by grasping it in the same manner that it was fed. To avoid the risk of injury due to kickbacks, do not stand directly in line with the front or rear of the planer. 8.
5. Lower the infeed table and turn the cutterhead by turning the cutterhead pulley. The infeed table height is set properly when the stone's surface is flush with the knife bevel. 6. Keep the cutterhead from rotating by grasping the cutterhead pulley while sliding the stone back and forth across the table.
