G0677 24" Planer/Sander
V-Belt Tension
The cutterhead, idler, sanding drum and table
elevation V-belts must be tensioned properly for
best performance. Always replace each of these
V-belts as a matched set.
Note: The belts on the main motor must be ten-
sioned correctly. Loose belts will not allow the
machine to stop immediately if the emergency
push panel is pushed.
The main motor uses a set of four matching belts,
the sanding drum pulleys use two matching belts,
and the table elevation motor uses one belt.

Note: Variables such as feed rate, depth of
the cut, and the type of sanding belt can play
a big part in determining the proper amount
of downward pressure exerted by the rollers.
Some experimentation may be necessary to
achieve the desired results. However, under
no circumstances should the pressure rollers
be set even with, or higher than, the sanding
roller.
11. Lower the table and remove the 2x4s.
12. Lower the cutterhead back to 0mm on the
height scale and lock it in place, then re-
install the sanding belt.
Adjusting Depth of
Cut Safety Bar
When properly adjusted, the depth of cut safety
bar prevents the operator from exceeding the
maximum depth of cut.
The position of this safety bar (
Figure 65) was
factory set approximately
1
⁄
8
" above the lowest
point of the cutterhead. We recommend that this
safety bar remain at this setting.
Figure 65. Depth of cut safety bar.
To adjust the depth of cut safety bar:
1. Plane and sand a 24" wide board through the
machine so it makes a full cut.
2. Set the board under the front of the machine,
then raise the table
1
⁄
8
".
3. Loosen the screws on the safety bar enough
so the bar contacts the top of the workpiece,
then tighten the screws.
