Cleaning Feed
Rollers
Periodically check and clean chips and sawdust
from between the bushing blocks and brackets.
Items Needed
Qty
4'' Tall Block of Wood ........................................ 1
To clean feed rollers:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Place a 4'' tall block of wood between one
feed roller and planer table. Ensure block of
wood is not under cutterhead.
3. Lower cutterhead assembly just enough so
roller is pushed up against spring and pres-
sure is off of two brackets.
4. Remove any trapped material from between
roller assembly and bracket.
Figure 37. Sawdust can get trapped between the
bushing block and the bracket.
Bushing
Block
Bracket
The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are
spring loaded. The feed rollers ride up on the
board so that the roller pressure is maintained.
If chips or sawdust build up between the bracket
and bushing block (see
Figure 37), the amount
of roller vertical travel will be reduced, potentially
causing improper feeding of workpiece through
the machine.
