ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING TABLE ROLLERS
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig.9, which aid in feeding
the stock by reducing friction and turn as the stock is fed through the planer.
It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of
the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.
As a general rule, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should be set
at a high position, and when planing soft and smooth stock the table rollers
should be set at a low position. The rollers should be set at the level which
most reflects the planing you do, frequent adjustment of the table rollers
may cause premature wear and tear.
NOTE: The raising range is between 0.07mm - 0.15mm (0.003”-0.006”)
when raising the roller higher above the table as shown in Fig.10.
The table rollers on your planer are set for average planing and are parallel
to the table surface. If you desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower,
preceed as follows;
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Lay a straight edge (A) Fig.11 across both rollers, loosen both set screws
(B) Fig.11, and turn the eccentric shafts (C) to raise or lower the table
rollers, when the proper height is obtained tighten screws (B). The table
rollers must be adjusted on the opposite end of the table in the same
manner.
NOTE: Be sure that the height of the front and rear rollers are the same.
The table rollers must always be set parallel to the table.
ASSEMBLING SOLID TABLE EXTENSIONS
Solid table extensions are supplied and can be assembled to the front and
back of your planer table. To install the front extension table, hold the
extension table against the front of the table and using hex. bolts and
washers (A) Fig.12 supplied, fix the extension table to the table.
To adjust the extension table parallel with the table surface, place a straight
edge on the top of the table and extension table. Adjust the position of the
extension table by using the set screws (B) Fig.12 found underneath until
the table extension and the main table are perfectly parallel.
Repeat the above steps for the rear extension table.

LUBRICATION GUIDE FOR GEAR BOX
The gear box lubricant must be replaced every 2,500 hours of operation.
Suitable lubricant is multi-purpose gear box lubricant.
To replace oil in gear box:
1. Remove the drain plug (A) Fig.30 and oil level cap (B), drain dirty oil
thoroughly.
2. Reposition and tighten the drain plug (A).
3. Remove cap screw (C) Fig.31 and pour oil through cap screw hole. Fill
the gear box with oil until the oil starts coming out of the oil level cap hole
(B).
4. Reposition and tighten the oil level cap (B) and the cap screw (C).
Below you will find lubrication instructions and maintenance intervals to maintain your planer in good working order. Failure to upkeep your
planer as prescribed on this page will reduce its life span. The No. in chart below refers to the figures below.
