Adjustment of Out-feed Roller
The out-feed roller should be set 0.02” (0.5mm)
below the lowest point of knife. Make sure the
knives are set properly see the “Setting /
Changing Knives” section prior to making
any adjustments.
1.
Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a hard wood gauge (Fig.17, A) under
a knife in the cutterhead. Place a
0.02” (0.5mm) feeler gauge (Fig. 17, B) on
top of wood block and raise table until the
gauge contacts the knife in its lowest
position.
3. Remove feeler gauge and place wood block
(Fig.20, E) under the left side of outfeed
roller (Fig. 20, F) . The top of wood gauge
should just contact the outfeed roller. If it
doesn’t, loosen jam nut (Fig. 21, H) and turn
the adjusting screw (Fig. 21, G) to raise, or
lower the out-feed roller until it contacts
wood gauge.
Knives are extremely sharp. Be very careful
when handling knives. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury!
The cutterhead is set-up with the same
relationship to the infeed roller, pressure bar
and outfeed roller. The planer comes set up
from the factory and shouldn’t need any
adjustment.
If adjustment is necessary, follow the steps for
setting the in-feed roller, chipbreaker, pressure
bar and outfeed roller in relation to the helical
cutterhead.
When it is time to rotate the knives ALL knives
should be rotated at the same time. This is the
same when replacing carbide knives ALL
knives must be replaced at the same time.
Mark the knives with a marker to identify which
knives have been rotated. You can rotate the
knives once before replacing. Use a Torx
wrench to rotate or remove knives.
