ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION
FEED ROLLER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The feed rollers are set at the factory, and shouldn’t require adjustment. However,
if the feed rollers do need to be adjusted:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the front cutterhead access panel (A) Fig.18 and the back access
panel (B) by removing the four round head allen screws (C).
NOTE:
At the back of the cutterhead, you will need to remove the chain and
sprockets from the shafts to allow adjustment of the nut/bolt assemblies.
3. Loosen hex. nut (A) Fig.19, and rotate hex. bolt (B) to raise or lower that end of
the infeed roller (C).
NOTE:
Feed rollers must be set parallel to the table, and approximately 1/32”
below the “cutting circle”. Use a gauge block to measure the height of the feed
rollers.
4. Repeat this adjustment with the other end of the infeed roller and both ends of
the outfeed roller (D).
5. Measure the height of the rollers in relation to the cutterhead using the gauge
block.
6. When the proper setting is achieved, retighten all hex. nuts (A) Fig.19 and make
a test cut to verify the setting.
FEED ROLLER PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the pressure of the feed rollers:
1. Loosen or tighten the set screw (E) Fig.19 at both ends of the infeed roller to
adjust the spring tension.
2. Rotating the set screw clockwise will increase infeed roller pressure, and
counterclockwise will decrease infeed roller pressure.
3. If needed, repeat above steps for outfeed roller.
PLANER TAbLE ADJUSTMENT
The planer table has been set parallel to the cutterhead in the factory. However,
table alignment should be checked to ensure there hasn’t been any movement
during shipment. To check Planer table alignment:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Lift the Jointer table into the upright position. Lift the dust chute into position for
planing. See section “Switching from Jointer to Planer Mode”.
3. Place a gauge block (A) Fig.20 directly under the cutterhead on one side of the
Planer table.
4. Rotate the cutterhead so that one of the cutter inserts on one side of the table is
at its lowest point. Raise the planer table until the gauge block makes contact
with the cutter insert.
5. Rotate the cutterhead so that one of the cutter inserts on the other side of the
table is at its lowest point. Move the gauge block to the other side to see if it
touches the cutter insert at the same point as the previous side.
NOTE:
Since this is a spiral cutterhead, it is important to make the same
measurement at both ends of the table. The solid body of the cutterhead can also
be used instead of a cutter insert to make the measurement.
To adjust the Planer table:
1. The Planer table assembly is attached to the machine with four hex. bolts (A)
Fig.21. Loosen the four hex. bolts.
2. Beside each hex. bolt is an adjustment set screw. Rotate the two adjustment set
screws (B) clockwise using a hex. key on the side of the table that needs to be
raised.
3. Measure the table again using the gauge block, and repeat adjustment steps
until the table is parallel with the cutterhead.
4. Retighten the four hex. bolts to secure the adjustment set screws.
