7.
Lock the table height in place, as the wood
blocks will now be your reference points for
the rest of the adjustments.
8.
Loosen the feed roller adjustment screws
( Figure 33 ) and turn the adjustment bolts on
each end to raise the feed roller above the
wood block (if necessary), then bring it back
down so it just touches the wood block on
both sides.
9. Lock the infeed roller adjustment screws in
place with the jam nuts, making sure they do
not move while tightening.
10. Without moving the table, adjust the chip
breaker (
Figure 35
), pressure bar (
Figure
34 ), and outfeed roller in the same manner,
using the wood blocks as your reference
point.
11. When you are finished with the adjustments,
replace the top cover, dust port, belt cover,
and the chain drive cover.
Spring Tension
Tools Needed: Qty
5mm Hex Wrench .............................................. 1
Roller spring tension must be adjusted so that
roller pressure is uniform. Roller spring tension
will vary, depending on the type of wood you
plane. This is usually determined from trial-and-
error.
Generally speaking, less spring tension is more
forgiving on workpieces. Therefore, if you primar-
ily plane milled lumber with relatively consistent
surfaces, you can get away with having less
spring tension. Likewise, if you primarily plane
rough lumber with inconsistent surface heights,
more spring tension is a must to keep the
workpiece feeding through the planer without
stopping.
If workpieces regularly stop feeding during opera-
tion, it may be a sign of weak spring tension.
To adjust roller spring tension:
1.
Locate the four adjustment screws located
on the top of the planer, as shown in Figure
37
.
2.
Adjust tension screws #1–#3 so that they
protrude
