When properly distanced from the cutterhead, the
chip deflector directs the chips into the dust hood,
and keeps them from falling onto the outfeed roller
and being pressed into the workpiece.
To adjust chip deflector gap:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove dust hood, top cover, and belt cover.
3. Use cutterhead pulley to rotate cutterhead
until a knife/insert reaches closest distance
to chip deflector (see
Figure below), then
measure distance between knife/insert and
chip deflector.

4. If distance measured in Step 3 is not equal to
correct chip deflector gap setting, then loosen
(3) flange bolts that secure chip deflector and
adjust gap to correct setting.
5. Re-tighten flange bolts, then replace belt
cover, top cover, and dust hood.

Tension
Screws
The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece
moving through the planer. Springs exert down-
ward pressure on the feed rollers while allowing
them to raise with an uneven workpiece surface.
Proper spring tension is crucial to keep the work-
piece moving through the planer during operation.
The ideal feed-roller spring tension varies depend-
ing upon the type of wood you plane. When
adjusting spring tension, keep the following in
mind:
• If you are planing milled lumber with a con-
sistent surface, use less spring tension to
reduce the risk of marring the workpiece.
• If you are planing rough lumber with incon-
sistent surfaces, use greater spring tension
to keep the stock moving through the planer.
• If the workpiece consistently stops feeding
during operation, the spring tension may
need to be increased.
To adjust feed-roller spring tension:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Rotate tension screws (shown below)
clockwise to increase tension or counter-
clockwise to decrease tension.
