Setting Feed Rate
The Model G0841 feed system includes a feed
track, serrated roller, three pressure rollers, and a
chain drive. The feed system moves workpieces
through the machine while keeping them flat
and providing a consistent rate of movement.
The speed at which the feed system moves the
workpieces through the machine is the feed rate.
The feed rate dial (see
Figure 47) is a potentiom-
eter that allows you to adjust the feed rate from
26–72 feet per minute (FPM). The correct speed
to use depends on the type of stock you are using
(hardwood vs. softwood) and the stage of finish
with that workpiece. Generally, low feed rates are
used for dimensioning passes, while higher feed
rates are used for finishing passes.
NOTICE
ALWAYS start feed system with feed dial
set to 0% (26 FPM), and DO NOT attempt to
change feed rate during cutting operations
or damage to the machine may result.

adjusting feed belt pressure
If you notice the feed track slipping on workpieces
during planing operations, adjust the downward
pressure of the feed track. For normal operations,
set the feed track at "0". Only adjust the downward
pressure of the feedbelt 0.5mm at a time.
To adjust feed track pressure:
1. DISCONNECT AND LOCK-OUT MACHINE
AT POWER SOURCE!
2. Loosen

lever
(see
Figure 48) and pull down on pressure lever
(see
Figure 48) until scale pointer indicates
"0.5mm" While holding pressure lever in posi-
tion, tighten pressure lock lever.

3. Connect machine to power and test feed
track pressure, if feed track continues to slip
on workpieces, repeat
Step 2 until proper
feed track pressure is achieved.
