7. ADJUSTING THE DRUM
During the operation of the Ferox 320 floor planer or after a drum has been changed or replaced,
the drum shaft and the rear wheel axis can fall out of alignment. This results in an uneven track on the
floor. On one side the drum touches the floor before the other and therefore removes more surface
material on this side.
The two rear wheels are mounted on an eccentric shaft (see figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2: Drum
If the drum has to be adjusted proceed as follows:
Place the planer on an even floor.Lift the machine with the height adjustment hand wheel, until all the
tools are well clear of the floor. Loosen the clamping screw of the eccentric shaft. On the other side of
the rear wheel is a screw which keeps the wheel on the shaft. Turning the screw will also turn the ec-
centric shaft. The floor planer moves up and down on one side. Always turn the screw clockwise. Anti
clockwise would loosen the screw. Keep turning until all the tools on the drum are the same distance
to the floor. Tighten the clamping screw again
