Knife Adjustment
The Model W1692 15" Planer is equipped with
both springs and jack screws for knife
adjustment. Springs allow adjustments to be
made quickly, while jack screws are more
accurate. Both methods are covered below.
JACK SCREWS
support the knives from
underneath. By threading the jack screws in or
out, you can precisely control the knife height.
See
Figure 17
for identification.
To adjust the knives using the jack screws,
do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2.
Loosen the gib bolts and remove the gib
and knives. Remove all of the springs and
place them in a plastic bag.
3. Tape the bag to the inside of the cabinet
so they do not get lost.
4. Place the knives, gibs, and gib bolts back
in the cutterhead as they were before
removal. Make sure the knives are resting
on the jack screws when you install them.
5.
Place the knife setting jig on the
cutterhead so both feet sit solidly on the
body of the cutterhead.
If the knife does not allow the jig to sit on
the cutterhead evenly, raise or lower the
knife with the jack screws to adjust as
needed.
6. Snug the two outermost gib bolts (5 and 4
shown in
Figure 18
) to hold the knife in
position.
7.
Tighten the knives by following the
instructions on
page 19
.
SPRINGS exert upward pressure under the
knives while wedge-type gibs and gib bolts lock
the knives in place. See
Figure 17
for
cutterhead assembly identification.
To adjust the knives using the springs, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. Lower the jack screws completely to get
them out of the way.
3. Loosen the gib bolts so the knife will move
upward from the pressure of the springs.
4. Place the knife setting jig on the
cutterhead so both feet sit solidly on the
cutterhead and so that the center of the
jig pushes down on the knife (similar to
Figure 16 ).
5. Place equal pressure on both ends of the
jig so the jig is parallel with the cutterhead
and the knife is set.
6. Snug the two outermost gib bolts (5 and 4
shown in
Figure 18 ) to hold the knife in
position.
7. Tighten the knives by following
“tightening” instructions on
page 19 .
WEAR thick gloves and use
extreme caution when
working near planer
knives. These knives are
dangerously sharp! Failure
to exercise care while
working near knives could
result in severe injury.
