Raising and Lowering Table
Turn the handwheel (A, Figure 6) clockwise to
raise the table. One revolution equals 1/16”.
Table Stop
The socket head cap screw (B, Figure 6) acts as
a stop and prevents you from running the table
into the cutting and feeding assembly.
Opening Hood
Turn the locks (C, Figure 6) clockwise to open
the hood. The hood will open automatically.
Use the handle (D, Figure, 6) to shut the hood.
Calibrating the Thickness Scale
The following sections will describe the use of a
calibrating board. The calibrating board should
be made of a hardwood and have one side that
has been run through a jointer.
1. With the planer turned “OFF – cutterhead
NOT
spinning”, place your calibrating board
jointed surface down on the table and slide it
into the machine.
2. Use the handwheel (A, Figure 6) to raise the
table so that the in-feed roller is about 1/16"
above the calibrating board.
3. Remove calibrating board from planer and
turn the planer “ON”.
4. Turn the handwheel clockwise one complete
revolution to raise the table and run the
calibrating board through the planer.
5. Repeat Step 4 until the planer removes the
entire top surface of your calibrating board.
6. Measure the thickness of the board using a
pair of calipers.
7. Adjust the pointer (E, Figure 6) so that it
reads the measured thickness by loosening
the screw that holds it in place.
