ADJUSTING CHIPBREAKERS
The chipbreakers (A) Fig.28 are located on the top of the planer and
extend downward around the front of the cutterhead. The chipbreakers
will rise as stock is fed through the planer and “breaks or cuds” the wood
chips. The bottom of the chipbreakers must be parallel to the knives and
set .40” below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the chipbreakers,
proceed as follow:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Make certain the knives are adjusted properly as explained in section
“Checking, Replacing and Resetting Knives”.
3.
Place the gauge block (B) Fig.29, on the table surface and directly
under the cutterhead as illustrated. Using a .040” feeler gauge (C) Fig.29, position on top of the gauge block,
raise the table untilcutterhead knife (D) touches the feeler gauge
when the knife is at its lowest point.
NOTE: Do not move the table any further until the adjustment has been
completed.
4.
Move gauge block (B) Fig.30, directly under the chipbreakers (A) as
illustrated. The bottom of the chipbreakers (A) Fig.30 should slightly
touch the gauge block (B).
5.
If an adjustment to the chipbreaker is necessary, loosen the two hex
nuts (E) Fig.28, and turn the adjustment screws (F) until the
chipbreaker slightly touches the gauge block at both sides of the
table.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE BAR
The pressure bar is located directly behind the cutterhead and rides on the
planed surface of the stock, pressing the stock downward on the table.
The pressure bar must be parallel to the knives and in contact to the table
and set .0.10” below the cutting circle. To verify and adjust the pressure
bar, proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Verify that the knives are adjusted properly as explained in section
“Checking, Adjusting and Replacing knives”
3.
Position the gauge block (B) Fig.31, on the able surface directly under
the cutterhead as illustrated. Use a .010” feeler gauge (C) Fig.31, place
on the top of the gauge block, and raise the table until the cutterhead
knife (D) touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lowest
point. Do not move the table any further until the adjustment has
been completed.
4.
Move gauge block (B) Fig.32, under the pressure bar (D) as illustrated.
The bottom of the pressure bar (D) Fig.32 should slightly touch the
top of the gauge block (B). Verify the opposite end of the pressure bar
in the same manner.
5.
If an adjustment to the height of the pressure bar is necessary; loosen
lock nut (E) Fig.33, and turn adjustment screw (F) until the bottom of
the pressure bar (D) Fig.32, slightly touches the top of the gauge block
(B). Repeat the adjustment at the other end of the pressure bar in the same manner.
