SETUP OF FEED ROLLERS, CHIP BREAKER AND PRESSURE BAR
Although your planer was carefully adjusted at the factory, it should be checked before being put
into operation. Any inaccuracies due to rough handling while in transit can easily be corrected
by completing the adjustment procedures.
To check the adjustments, you will need a straight edge, feeler gage and a homemade gauge
block made of hardwood.
Use the diagram and dimensions to fabricate the hardwood gauge block.
The wood gauge along with a feeler gauge will be used to set the planer to the proper
dimensions.
Depending on the stock and cutterhead you may find that a different setup may work better for
your particular planning operation.
WARNING:
Always disconnect and lockout power before performing any
adjustments or service work.
Blades and Anti-kickback fingers are sharp. Wear gloves to prevent injury.
