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 6.
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 6
NOTE:
The Repeat Cut Thickness Indicator (D), located on the bottom right side of the planer,
provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a work piece. Slide the indicator to the
desired finished thickness. Use this feature when thickness planing multiple work pieces to ensure a
uniform thickness of all work pieces. See page 20 for more information. Do not attempt to lower the
cutterhead assembly below the preset level as damage will occur.
