ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)
RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD ASSEMBLY
The head assembly consists of the cutterhead, knives, feed rollers, cutterhead guard, and the
motor. Raising and lowering of the head assembly controls the depth of cut on the planer.
To adjust:
1.
To raise the head assembly (A), turn the adjusting handle (B) clockwise. SEE FIG 5.
2.
To lower the head assembly, turn the adjusting handle counterclockwise.
NOTE:
One revolution of the handle will move the
cutterhead up or down approximately 1/16”.
You can confirm this by referencing the scale (C) on the front right side of the planer.
FIG 5
NOTE:
The Quick Set Thickness Indicator (D), located on the bottom right side of the planer,
provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a workpiece. The indicator can be set to
1/8
”, 1/4”, 1/2”, or 3/4”. Rotate the wheel of the indicator to the desired finished thickness. Use this
feature when thickness planning multiple workpieces to ensure a uniform thickness of all
workpieces. See page 20 for more information. Do not attempt to lower the cutterhead assembly
below the preset level as damage will occur.
