becomes necessary.

To calibrate scale:
1. Plane a scrap piece of stock until it is flat and
of even thickness along its length.
Note: Turn board over between each pass.
2. Use calipers to measure board thickness.
3. If there is a discrepancy between board
thickness and reading on table height scale,
loosen the screws shown in
Figure 60, adjust
scale as necessary to match measurement,
then re-tighten screws.

Checking Anti-
Kickback Fingers
Figure 61. Example of anti-kickback fingers.
Anti-Kickback Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety
feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod
suspended across the head casting and in front of
the infeed roller, as shown. This design allows the
workpiece to easily enter the planer but reduces
the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece
if it moves backward.
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure
they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not
swing freely and easily, first clean them with a
wood-resin solvent, then inspect them for dam-
age. If any of the fingers are damaged, the device
must be replaced before using the machine.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kick-
back fingers that will attract dust and restrict free
movement of the fingers.
Proper operation of anti-kickback fingers
is critical for safe operation of this planer.
DO NOT operate planer if anti-kickback
fingers are not operating correctly. Failure
to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
