The Stock Removal Gauge on the front of the planer (Fig. 9) identifies
the amount of material being removed while the stock is being fed
through the planer. 1/16” is the maximum stock removal rate and may
be less depending on the material being processed and the condition of
the cutterhead knives.
To establish stock removal before planing, turn power OFF. Make sure
cutterhead is not rotating. Slide stock onto bed, under gauge. Lower
carriage until desired stock removal appears on gauge. Pull stock from
machine. Process stock as described in “Operation”.
Depth Stop
The depth stop is located on the side of the planer (Fig. 10). It has four
settings. Rotate dial to desired thickness. When lowering carriage to
preset thickness resistance will be felt when at desired setting. DO NOT
use force to lower carriage when resistance is felt as damage to the
carriage and lift mechanism will result. When not using the depth stop,
leave at the lowest setting,
approximately 5/32” +/
-
(1/8” shown)
as
this is the minimum thickness of material that can be processed.
