• Set the planer back on it's base.
•
Make a test cut to verify adjustment.
REPLACING V-BELT
Refer to Figures 23, 24 and 25.
Inadequate tension in the V-belt (Fig. 25, Key No. 84)
will cause the belt to slip from the motor pulley (Fig. 24,
Key. No. 24) or drive pulley (Fig. 25, Key No. 85). Loose
belt must be replaced. To replace V-belt:
• Turn planer off and unplug from power source.
• Loosen and remove screws (Fig. 24, Key. Nos. 3 and
4) on right panel (Fig. 24, Key. No. 14). Remove
panel.
•
Remove old belt by walking the belt from motor and
drive pulleys alternatively. Gently pull the belt while
turning the pulleys at the same time.
•
Replace with new belt. Walk the belt on to the pul-
leys in the reverse manner as when removing the
belt.
•
Make sure the belt is evenly seated all the way on
the motor and drive pulleys grooves.
•
Replace and secure right panel.
DUST COLLECTOR
CHIP CHUTE
Refer to Figure 25.
Planer is best used along with a dust collector. A dust
collector chip chute (not shown) is available as an
optional accessory. The dust chute has a fitting for
attaching a 4" hose. A 4" to 2'/2" adapter is also avail-
able (see Recommended Accessories, page 17).
The dust collector chip chute is mounte/d_to the planer
in place of the chip deflector (Key. No._). To mount dust
collector chip chute:
• Turn planer OFF and unplug from power source.
• Loosen end remove two socket head bolts (Key No. 7).
•
Remove chip deflector.
•
Slide dust collector chip chute along the inside walls
of rollercase (Key No. 26), so that the slots on the
dust chute are aligned above the holes on the roller-
case.
•
Reuse two socket head bolts to secure dust chute
with rollercase.
After mounting, attach a 4" (outside diameter) dust col-
lector hose to the dust chute fitting. If dust collector chip
chute is used with the 4" to 2'/2" adapter, attach a 2'/2"
hose to the adapter. Be sure to turn the vacuum ON
before operating the planer.
LUBRICATION
•
Motor and cutterheed bearings are sealed and need
no lubrication.
•
Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of
debris and greased.
•
The base cover can be coated with a lubricant such
as furniture wax, to make the workpiece feed
smoother. Be sure the lubricant used does not affect
the ability to finish the workpiece with varnish, seal-
er, etc. Do not use any silicone base lubricants.
CLEAN
PLANER
•
Keep planer clean of any wood chips, dust, dirt or debris.
• After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears
should have wood chips, dust and old grease
removed.
•
Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate
all chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears
have plenty of grease.
