4.  Reinstall  drain  plug  (A)  and  fill  gearbox  with 

clean lubricant through hole (B). 

5.  Install and tighten filler cap (B).

  Belt replacement 

To replace the belt, remove cabinet panel and belt 
guard (see Figure 7-1). Rotate the pulleys using the 
belt, while gradually walking the belt off one pulley 
until it comes free. Use the reverse process to install 
the  new  belt,  making  sure  it  is  seated  completely 
onto  the  pulley  grooves.  Check  for  proper  tension 
(see sect. 7.1). 

9.3

  Work table parallel to cutterhead 

The work table is set parallel to the cutterhead by 
the manufacturer and no further adjustment should 
be  necessary.  If  your  machine  is  planing  a  taper, 

first  check  to  see  if  knives  or  knife  inserts  are 
set properly in the cutterhead

. Then check to see 

if main table is set parallel to cutterhead, using the 
following method. You will need feeler gauges, and 
a  dial  gauge  or  home-made  gauge  block  made  of 
hardwood.  This  gauge  block  can  be  made  by 
following the dimensions shown in Figure 8-5.  

1.  Disconnect machine from power source. 

2.  Place gauge block on main table directly under 

a  knife  edge.  Make  slight  contact  by  gently 
lowering head. 

3.  Move  gauge  block  to  opposite  end  of  table. 

Distance from table to knife edge should be the 
same at both ends. 

4.  If the gap difference is greater than 0.004” and 

less  than  0.016”,  perform  the  adjustment 
procedure  in 

sect. 9.3.1.

  If  the  gap  is  greater 

than 0.016”, use procedure in 

sect. 9.3.2

9.3.1

  Fine adjustment 

For gap difference 0.004 to 0.016 inches. 

1.  On the side of the table that needs correcting, 

locate the two socket head cap screws for each 
column  (Figure  9-2).  Loosen  both  screws  for 
each column on the side you wish to adjust. 

2.  Push down or pull up the head assembly in the 

desired direction. Hold the assembly in position 
and retighten the cap screws. 

3.  Check table-to-cutterhead parallelism again as 

described in the previous section, then repeat 
steps  1  through  3  if  needed  until  deviation  is 
less than 0.004”. 

 

Figure 9-2 

9.3.2

  Major adjustment 

For gap difference > 0.016 inches. 

1.  Remove cabinet panels. 

2.  Pivot outfeed table out of the way (or remove it 

if cast iron version). 

3.  Lower  head  until  there  is  enough  motor 

clearance  to  reach  under  and  adjust  the 
sprockets. 

4.  Remove bolt (P, Figure 9-3) and loosen bolt (R) 

which  will  allow  enough  movement  of  idler 
sprocket  assembly  (S)  to  release  tension  on 
chain. 

 

Figure 9-3 

5.  Remove  chain  from  the  particular  sprocket  on 

the corner of the base that you need to adjust. 

6.  Turn the sprocket by hand to bring that corner 

into  adjustment  with  the  other  three  corners. 
NOTE: Turning sprocket clockwise will increase 
the distance between the working table and the
