To be effective, the infeed and outfeed rollers
must put pressure on the workpiece as it feeds
through the planer. Too little pressure results in
slipping boards, too much pressure results in
jamming.
Experiment with the best pressure settings for
your work situations. Some rough cut lumber will
feed through with relatively few problems, while
other lumber will have more difficulty.
Adjusting roller pressure does not affect height.
To adjust roller pressure:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2.
Ensure that knives and feed rollers are set
correctly.
3.
Unscrew the three regular pressure
setscrews on top of the planer body. See
Figure 41
