ADJUSTING FEED ROLL SPRING TENSION
The infeed roller (A) and outfeed roller (B) are
those parts of your planer that feed the stock while
it is being planned. The feed rolls (A) and (B) are
under spring tension and this tension must be
sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the
planer without slipping, but should not be so tight
that it causes damage to the board. The tension
should be equal at both ends of each roller. (Fig.
16)
To adjust the spring tension of the infeed roller,
turn screw (C) and also the screw shown on the
opposite end of planer.
To adjust the spring tension of the outfeed roller,
turn screw (D) and also the screw on the opposite
end of the planer.(Fig. 17)
ADJUSTING TABLE ROLLS
This planer is supplied with two table rollers (E, Fig.
18) which aid in feeding 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, however,when planning rough
stock the table rollers should be set HIGH and
when planning smooth stock the table rollers
should be set at LOW. In general,the suggested
table roll height is at least 0.5mm over the table
surface.
The table rollers on your planer are set for average
planning and are parallel to the table surface. If you
desire to adjust the rolls higher or lower,proceed
as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Lay a straight edge (G, Fig. 19) across both
rollers. Loosen the screw (F, Fig. 18), then turn
the two eccentric shafts (H, Fig. 18) to raise or
lower table rollers. Table rolls must also be
adjusted on the opposite end of the table in the
same manner. The table rollers must always be
set parallel to the table.
Warning: Disconnect the machine before
performing any adjustments. Failure to comply
can cause serious injuries to the machine and
the work operator.
