Receiving Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before proceeding further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures.
Assembly Most of the JWP-16OS Planer has been assembled at the factory. However some parts must be assembled after delivery. Use care when cleaning the cutterhead; the knives are very sharp. Stand Assembly Refer to Figure 1. 1. Cast Foot Assembly – Using parts from the...
Dust Collection Hood Referring to Figure 6: The dust collection hood (A) comes standard with the model JWP-16OS planer, and helps maintain a clean and safe work area. It is assembled to the planer (B) with six hex head screws (C) as shown.
Adjustments Overview Many parts are factory adjusted. The operator should be familiar with the following procedures to gain a better understanding of the JWP-16OS Planer's construction and operation. Control and Adjustments Refer to Figure 8 for general control and adjustment locations for the JWP-16OS Planer and are also listed below.
Pulleys and Belts The belt and pulley assembly are on the left side of the planer. To inspect for pulley alignment and correct belt tension, remove the four hex head screws (10mm) holding the cover in place. Figure 9 shows the assembly with the cover removed.
Figure 13 Table Rollers Two table rollers (A, Fig. 14) ease stock movement as it is fed through the planer. The height of the rollers is dependent on the type of wood being planed. When planing rough stock, set the rollers slightly high to keep the lumber from dragging along the table.
(C,). After obtaining the proper height for the head assembly, tighten the lock knobs. Note: The JWP-16OS Planer has two lock knobs; one is located by the handwheel (C, Fig. 19). The other is located on the opposite (left rear) corner.
Planer knives are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when inspecting, removing, sharpening, or replacing knives into the cutterhead. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 3. To check and adjust the knives, use the provided knife gauge (Fig. 22) and check all three knives.
the dust port. Remove the cover/dust port (Fig. 20) as a unit. The cutterhead assembly can be seen from the opening on top. Refer to Figure 21: 3. Loosen the gib (C) by turning the six gib screws (D) into the gib. Remove gib (C), knife (A) and springs (E).
Cutterhead (Fine Adjustment) section. It the gap difference from one side to the other is grater than 0.016", the cutterhead assembly raising chain under the planer base needs to be adjusted – see the Adjusting Work Table Parallel to Cutterhead (Major Adjustment) section.
Experimentation will determine the best settings. Figure 29 Figure 30 Anti-Kickback The JWP-16OS Planer provides an anti- kickback safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the front of the cutterhead casting (A, Fig. 28) and help prevent kickback of stock. It is necessary to inspect them regularly to make sure they hang freely.
Checking and Adjusting the Feed Roller Height The infeed and outfeed rollers propel the lumber through the planer. The rollers also press the lumber flat against the planer table. The infeed and outfeed rollers are adjusted at the factory and are set at 0.020" below the knife- edge at bottom dead center (Fig.
Figure 33 Gearbox Referring to Figure 34: The JWP-16OS Planer is equipped with a spiral, serrated infeed roller (F) and a solid outfeed roller. When the feed rollers are engaged, they turn to feed the stock. The feed rollers are driven by chains (A) and sprockets (B) in the gearbox.
While cutting this much material is possible, it is not recommended. Depth Limiter The Model JWP-16OS Planer is equipped with a depth limiter – located on the bottom of the cutterhead casting just below the warning label (A, Fig. 37). The depth limiter controls maximum depth of cut to 1/8".
Maintenance General Inspect your planer each time before using. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary. 1. Loose mounting bolts. 2. Worn switch. 3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. 4. Damaged V-belts. 5. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
Lubrication The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated and sealed for life – no lubrication required. Gearbox – The oil in the gearbox must be drained and replaced after the first 20 hours of operation. (See the Lubrication Table). Inspect levels periodically and change yearly.
Check amp setting on motor starter. Verify that planer is on a circuit of correct size. If circuit size is correct, there is probably a loose electrical lead.
