Adjusting Table Rollers
The table rollers come pre-set from the factory
and shouldn’t need any adjustment. If you find
adjustment is necessary, follow the below listed
steps.
1. Lay a straight edge (A, Figure 23) on the
table across the roller (B, Figure 23).
2. Raise the rollers until it contacts the straight
edge and lock the handle. The pointer
should be set at “0”. If not adjust the pointer
to read zero.
Note:
Spin the roller by hand
to know when roller makes contact with the
straight edge.
3. Move straight edge to the opposite side of
bed roller and check to see that the roller
just contacts straight edge. If not loosen the
hex nut (C, Figure 24) and turn the hex cap
bolt (D, Figure 24) to raise or lower the bed
roller until it just contacts the straight edge.
Maintenance
WARNING!
Disconnect the machine from power source
before proceeding with any maintenance,
lubrication or assembly! Failure to comply
may cause serious injury!
•
Periodic, or regular inspections are required
to ensure that the machine is in proper
adjustment, and that all hardware is tight.
•
Clean out-feed rollers and table with a non-
flammable solvent to remove pitch, gum and
other unwanted build-up.
•
Periodically clean the inside of the machine
for dust control.
•
Keep pulleys and belts free from dirt, dust,
oil and grease. Replace worn v-belts as
needed.
•
Replace worn knives or sharpen. If a knife
gets nicked stagger the knives. Move one
knife no more than 1/8” to the right and
another knife no more than 1/8” to the left.
•
There are three limit switches on the planer,
one that triggers if the hood is open, and a
raising and a lowering limit switch to prevent
the table from automatically traveling too far.
Keep these clean and blown out with an air
hose.
