TABLE RAISING AND LOWERING
CONTROLS
WARNING DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE
For fast easy changes in thickness settings to
accommodate thick or thin stock, the table can be
rapidly raised or lowered by pulling up or pushing
down on the table raising and lowering control lever
(C) Fig. 9. NOTE: The machine must be turned "ON"
and the feed rolls engaged when doing this. Fine
adjustment of the table height can be made by
loosening lock knob (D) Fig. 9, and turning table
raising and lowering handwheel (E). Tighten lock
knob (D) after table adjustment is made. The handy
English/Metric Scale (F) indicates the desired table
height setting. The English/Metric scale and shelf (G)
Fig. 10, located on the front of the table is used to
quickly determine the thickness of stock, before or
after planing, by simply placing the stock on the shelf
as shown in Fig. 10. This enables you to quickly
position the table for the next cut.
NOTE: The setting of the table to its final position
should
always be made by raising the table to the desired
setting and not lowering the table. This insures that
all backlash will be removed from the raising and
lowering screws.
FEED ROLL SPEED CONTROLS
Your planer is supplied with feed roll speeds of 25
and 46 feet per minute. When the feed roll lever (A)
is in the "up" position as shown in Fig. 11, the feed
rolls are engaged and the planer will feed. When the
lever (A) is in the "down" position the feed rolls are
disengaged and the planer will not feed. To
disenguage the feed rolls, at any time, simply push
down on the engagement lever (A) Fig. 11.
