Feed Roller Pressure Adjustment
The pressure of the feed rollers against the workpiece during planing operations is maintained
by spring tension. To adjust this tension, turn the socket head screw (B, Figure 15), clockwise to
increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Table and Knife Adjustments
For accurate jointing, these items must be true:
•
Infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar.
•
Knife inserts must be set in the cutterhead so that the highest point of their arc is level with
the outfeed table.
These alignments are explained below.
Disconnect machine from power source before making any adjustments. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Coplanar Alignment
Definition of coplanar
When the infeed table is set to the same level as the outfeed table and together both tables form
a "perfect" flat surface, the tables are said to be coplanar.
For optimum performance of the jointer, the infeed and outfeed tables must be coplanar. If they
are not, the finished workpiece may have a slight taper or twist across its jointed width or length.
Determining if tables are coplanar
The tables have been set coplanar at the factory, but they should be double-checked by the
operator. Also, as the machine undergoes use, the tables should be checked occasionally and
adjusted if necessary.
The procedure described below uses a steel straight edge to set the tables, which should be
accurate enough for most purposes.
Important: The tables must be locked
in position when performing the following test.
Referring to Figures 11 and 12:
1. Disconnect jointer from power source.
2. Loosen the lock knob (A) and slide the
cutterhead guard (B, C) to clear the table.
3. Slide the fence assembly back (H, E) as far as it
will go, or remove it from the machine entirely.
4. Rotate the cutterhead to avoid knife
interference.
