9.4 Planer Controls and Adjustments
Refer to Figure 5:
Table Height Adjustment
To set the planer table height, rotate the height
adjustment handwheel (E) counterclockwise to
raise the planer table (C), clockwise to lower.
Each revolution of the handwheel (E) results in a
5/32" up or down movement of the table (C). A
scale on the handwheel column indicates the
amount of handwheel rotation. A
pointer (B)
indicates the table position relative to the
cutterhead on the
scale (A) located on the side of
the cabinet.
Power Feed
The gearbox has two feed speeds. These are set
by pulling out or pushing in the
shift lever (D).
Always change feed speed while the machine
is running.
A diagram showing lever positions
and associated feed speeds can be found above
the gearbox cover. It is also shown in Figure 6.
Planer must be running when
changing the feed rate. Do not attempt to
change the feed speed while stock is passing
through the machine. Failure to comply may
damage the gearbox.
