5. Machine Set up
5.1 The lock bar wedge and planer knife
system
CAUTION! This procedure involves close
contact with the planer blade. Ensure
that gloves are worn at all times to
prevent injury to hands and ensure that
the machine is disconnected from the
power source.
During transit the planer knives may be knocked
out of alignment. It is important to check that
the knives are properly aligned and adjust if
necessary.
The knives are held on a wedge, located on two
pins, this wedge is held in place with 4 locking
nuts. It is adjusted by tightening or loosening
three jacking bolts within the wedge.

5.2 Preparation for knife adjustment
Before making an adjustment it is advisable to
remove both wedges and knives to clean them
thoroughly. To remove the wedge and knives,
first wind all the locking nuts into the wedge,
Fig 5.3
, so it all moves freely inside the cutter
block. Now ease the knife off of the front of the
wedge
Fig 5.4
and remove from the block. The
wedge can now be removed as well.
Clean both parts thoroughly with white spirit.
Even the smallest amount of swarf or timber
resin can prevent the knife from seating
properly. Also give the slot in the cutter block a
wipe down with white spirit.
Once the components are clean, treat with a
lubricant such as Record Power Silicone Spray.
Check the operation of the jacking mechanism
in the wedge
Fig 5.5
. Clean and lubricate this
as well.
Now re-fit into the cutter block. Place the
wedge in first then fit the knife on to the wedge,
ensuring the pins seat into the location holes in
the knife
