7. If an adjustment to the outfeed table roller is necessary loosen
lock-nut (G) Fig.21, located under the table below the outfeed table
roller (F). Rotate the adjustment nuts (H) as required; in order to raise
or lower the height of the outfeed roller.
NOTE: It will be necessary to raise the table in order to gain access to the
adjustment nuts. Tighten locknut (G) once adjustment are completed.
8. Verify and adjust the height of the outfeed table roller on the other
side of the table in the same manner.
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS (Fig.22)
A series of anti-kickback fingers (A), are provided on the infeed end of the
planer to prevent kickback of the workpiece during planning operations.
These anti-kickback fingers operate by gravity and no adjustment is
required. It is necessary, however to inspect them occasionally to make
sure they are free of gum and pitch and that they are operated
independently and freely.
WARNING: When inspecting or cleaning the anti-kickback fingers; make
sure the machine is turned “OFF” and disconnected from the power
source.
VERIFY AND ADJUST DRIVE BELT TENSION (Fig.23)
Proper belt tension is correct when there is approximately 1/4” deflection,
using light finger pressure on the drive belt, midway between pulleys. If
adjustment are required proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Loosen and tighten the two adjustment nuts (C) Fig.23, in order to
move motor plate up or down as needed to increase or decrease the
drive belt tension. Tighten both adjustment nuts (C) against plate (D)
once adjustment is completed.
3. Close both side panels.
CHECKING, RESETTING AND REPLACING KNIVES
When checking, resetting and replacing knives, proceed as follow:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the locking screw and raise top cover (A) Fig.24, to reveal
cutterhead (B)
3. Carefully place knife setting gauge (C) Fig.25 & 26, in order to position
the gauge on the radius section of cutterhead (B). When set correctly,
knife (D) Fig.25 &26, should slightly contact the bottom of the insert
section (E) Fig.26 of knife gauge (C) which is set at “.070”. Verify the
remaining knives in the same manner.
