ASSEMbLY & ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING INFEED AND OUTFEED ROLLER SPRING TENSION

To adjust the spring tension of the infeed and outfeed roller, using a hex.

key,  turn  screw  (A)  Fig.22  to  adjust  the  infeed  roller  spring  tension  and

screw (B) to adjust the outfeed roller spring tension. Make sure that both

sides are adjusted evenly or else you will get uneven feeding of stock.

ANTI-KICKbACK FINGERS

Anti-kickback  fingers  (F)  Fig.23  are  provided  for  your  safety  to  prevent

workpiece kickbacks. These fingers operate by gravity and it is necessary

to inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and pitch

so that they can move independently and operate correctly.

CHECKING  AND  ADJUSTING  THE  HEIGHT  OF  INFEED  ROLLER,

CHIPbREAKER, PRESSURE bAR AND OUTFEED ROLLER

The infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar and outfeed roller are adjusted

at the factory. The infeed roller and the chipbreaker were set at 0.004”, the

pressure bar was set at 0.008” and the outfeed roller was set at 0.02” and

all of them below the cutting circle as shown in Fig.24. If an adjustment to

the infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar or outfeed roller is necessary,

follow the next steps;

Example: To check and adjust the outfeed roller 0.02” below the cutting

circle, proceed as follows;

1. Disconnect Planer from power source.

2. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly before attempting the follow-

ing adjustment.

3. Place the gauge block (G) on the table directly underneath the cutter-

head, as shown in Fig.25. Using a 0.02” Feeler gauge (D) placed on top

of the gauge block, raise the work table until the knife just touches the

feeler gauge when the knife is at its lower point. Do not move the work

table any further until the outfeed roller is adjusted.

4. Move the gauge block (G) under one end of the outfeed roller (B) as

shown in Fig.26. The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the

top of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is necessary,

loosen the lock nut (K) Fig.26 and turn screw (L) until the outfeed roller

just touches the gauge block. retighten lock nut (K).

5. Check and adjust the opposite end of the outfeed roller in the same man-

ner.
