A. Infeed Roller

E. Pressure Bar
F. Anti-Kick back Fingers
The infeed roller (A) and outfeed roller (B) Fig. 27 are
those parts of your planer that feed the stock while
it is being planed, The infeed roller and the outfeed
roller are under spring tension and this tension must
be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the
planer without slipping but should not be so tight that
is causes damage to the board. The tension should be
equal at both ends of each roller.
Adjusting infeed And Outfeed Rollers Spring
Tension
* To adjust the spring tension of the Weed/Outfeed
roller, turn the screw (G)/(H) Fig. 28. and also the
screw on the opposite end of the Infeed/Outfeed roller.
Anti-Kick Back Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers (F) Fig. 29 are provided
on your planer to prevent kickback. These fingers
operate by gravity and it is necessary torinspect them
occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and
pitch so that they move independently and operate
correctly.
