Anti-Kickback
Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety
feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod
suspended across the head casting and in front
of the infeed roller, as shown in
Figure 74. This
design allows the workpiece to easily enter the
planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging
into the workpiece if it moves backward.
Figure 74. Anti-kickback fingers.
Anti-Kickback Fingers
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure
they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not
swing freely and easily, first clean them with a
wood resin solvent, then inspect them for dam-
age. If any of the fingers are damaged, the device
must be replaced before using the machine.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-
kickback fingers that will attract dust and restrict
free movement of the fingers.
Pulley Alignment
Proper pulley alignment prevents premature V-belt
wear and unnecessary load on the motor. The
pulleys are properly aligned when they are parallel
and in the same plane as each other.
Tools Needed Qty
Straightedge 3' .................................................. 1
Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1
Open-End Wrench or Socket 13mm ................. 1
To check/re-align pulleys:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove both cabinet covers and belt cover,
then use straightedge to check pulley align-
ment, as shown in
Figure 75.
Figure 75. Checking pulley alignment.
— If pulleys are not in same plane, loosen
cap screw or hex bolt that secures pulley
to shaft, adjust pulleys in or out until they
are in plane, then re-tighten cap screws.
— If pulleys are not parallel, loosen four
motor mount hex nuts, shift motor on its
mount until pulleys are parallel, then re-
tighten motor mount hex nuts.
3. Re-check pulleys and repeat Step 2 if
necessary.
4. When your are satisfied with pulley align-
ment, re-tighten all fasteners, then replace
belt cover and cabinet covers.
Proper operation of anti-kickback fingers
is critical for safe operation of this planer.
DO NOT operate planer if anti-kickback
fingers are not operating correctly. Failure
to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
