Adjusting the planer/moulder table height.
Move the table to the thickness that you require.
Note. Until you get experience with the machine, it is
suggested that after setting the table thickness you
machine a scrap piece of wood and check that the
thickness is correct before you machine your production.
Setting the table height indicator.
Plane a piece of scrap wood and measure the thickness.
Loosen the height pointer and adjust to the planed
thickness.
Note. There are two height scales (one on either side of
the table). Both height pointers have to be adjusted to the
same dimension.
Adjusting the drive belts.
The drive belts should be checked after running the
machine for approximately 10 hours. The belts embed into
the pulleys and will slacken off slightly. If they are not
adjusted, slippage may accrue, and this will cause early
belt failure. There should be approximately 3/16" deflection
when the belt is pressed with moderate finger pressure.
To increase the tension on the belts, loosen the support
bracket nuts. Move the bracket down and re-tighten the
nuts.
Note. To access the drive belts and motor, remove the side
covers.
Note. Disconnect the power to the machine prior to
conducting machine adjustments or repairs.
