3. Install the new carbon brush and screw
the brush cap securely back in place.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 when changing
brush on other side of the motor.
Infeed/Outfeed Rollers Cleaning
The infeed/outfeed rollers rotate inside
spring loaded bushing blocks. The rollers
push upwards on the board so that the
roller pressure is maintained. If debris like
wood chips and sawdust buildup between
the bracket and bushing block the amount
of vertical roller travel will be limited causing
incorrect feeding of material through the
planer.
1. Make sure that the machine is
disconnected from its power supply.
2. Take a 4” tall wooden block and place it
between one feed roller and the planer
table. Make sure wooden block isn’t
resting directly under the cutterhead.
3. Lower the cutterhead just enough so
that the rollers are pushed up against
the spring and pressure is off both of the
brackets.
4. Remove any trapped debris like wood
chips and sawdust from between the
roller assembly and bracket.
Scale Calibration
Even though the scale is set correctly at the
factory it can be adjusted for accuracy if it
becomes necessary. Follow these steps to
make any adjustments:
1. Take a piece of scrap wood and plane
both sides until flat and even thickness
for the length of the material.
2. Measure the thickness of the material
using calipers.
3. If there is a difference in measurement
between the calipers and the scale
loosen the M6-1x12 phillips head screw
on the red arrow. Then reposition the
arrow to indicate the correct thickness
and retighten the screw.
Table Height Adjustment
Both the table and the cutterhead are
checked at the factory to ensure that they
are parallel. However over long periods of
time and extended use it may change. To
return the table and cutterhead back to the
point of being parallel follow the steps
below:
1. Plane a test piece of material and
measure the thickness from side to side
and front to back. From those
measurements determine the corners
that are in need of adjustment.
2. Make sure that machine has been
disconnected from its power supply.
3. Carefully tilt and gently lay the machine
on its side to gain access to chain and
sprockets.
