The chip deflector directs chips and dust into the
dust hood and prevents chips from falling back
into the planing area. It is an orange plastic plate
located under the top cover.
To adjust the chip deflector:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2.
Remove the three bolts called out in
Figure 37
with a 12mm wrench and remove the dust
hood.
4.
Position the chip deflector with a
1
⁄
4
" gap
between the knives and the deflector if the
planer/moulder is attached to a dust collec-
tion system. See
Figure 38.
(Use a
1
⁄
8
" gap if
you are not using a dust collector.) Make
sure the beveled edge of the deflector faces
the cutterhead.
Note—
The chip deflector should be removed
when performing moulding operations.
