to use a Rotacator:
1. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
2. Make sure knives are set to correct height
(refer to
Adjusting/Replacing Knives on
Page 28 for detailed instructions). if machine
is spiral cutterhead, make sure all inserts
are properly installed (refer to
Rotating/
Replacing cutterhead inserts on Page 31
for detailed instructions).
3. lower table at least 4" below head casting,
then lock it in place.
4. remove dust port, top cover, belt cover, and
drive chain cover.
5. using your rotacator, find bottom dead cen-
ter (BdC) of any knife/insert edge by slowly
rocking cutterhead pulley back and forth,
then set rotacator dial to "0" (see
figure 54).

b. Chip Breaker....................................... 0.040"
c. outfeed roller .................................... 0.020"
it is essential that the feed rollers and chip
breaker are set at the correct distance below the
cutterhead knives at BdC (bottom dead center)
to ensure that the workpiece moves through the
planer evenly and the correct distance from the
cutterhead knives.
to ensure accurate results and make the adjust-
ment process quicker and easier, we recommend
using a rotacator for these adjustments (refer to
Accessories).
if a rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two
even sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be
used, but care must be taken when jointing the
wood to achieve accurate results.
6. Move feed speed knob to neutral position to
allow infeed roller to freely rotate.
7. Keeping rotacator dial at "0", position it
under right-hand side of infeed roller and find
BdC of a serrated edge by rocking infeed
roller back and forth.
