ASSEMBLING CHAIN
If head casting is not parallel to table, tilt planer
on
it’s side. Remove bolt C and loosen bolt (D)
(Fig.27). This will enable you to move the idler
sprocket assembly (E) this procedure will release
the tension of the chain.
Remove chain from sprocket on the end that must
be adjusted. When chain has to be released, do
not turn the sprocket more than one or two teeth.
Turn sprocket clockwise to decrease the distance,
and counter clockwise to increase the distance
between the caster.
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEAD PARALLEL TO
TABLE
All parallel adjustments have been made to table
before shipment, no further adjustments are
required. The only verification you should make
is to check indirectly the parallel of the cutter
head and table. Proceed with the following:
1. Disconnect machine from the power source.
2. Place gauge block between upper head casting
and table, make them contact slightly. (Fig.28).
3. Move gauge block to the opposite side, making
them to the same height.
4. Follow the same procedures to check the
backside.
ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION OF FEED
ROLLER
The infeed roller (A) and the outfeed roller (B) are
two of the major parts of automatic transmitting of
planer. (Fig.29).
To control pressure, spring tensions are used.
CUTTING AND ROLLER
