OPERATIONS
Test Run
Before turning the machine ON for the first
time, make sure you have read through the
entire manual and have completed the
instructions given in the
Assembly and
Adjustments
sections, and that you have taken
all safety precautions.
Make sure any tools used to assemble/adjust
the machine are properly cleared away. The
table should be lowered enough to provide
plenty of room for the safe operation of the
feed rollers and the cutterhead.
Plug in the power cord and press the START
button. Make sure that you remain near the
switch in case you have to press the
STOP
button in an emergency. Strange or unnatural
noises should be investigated and corrected
before operating the machine further.
Always wear safety
goggles when operating
this machine!
The feed rate is the speed that the rollers
drive the workpiece through the planer. Your
planer features 16, and 20 FPM feed rates.
As a general rule, the faster the feed rate the
faster the workpiece is planed, but a rougher
finish is left behind; and the slower the feed
rate the slower the workpiece is planed, but a
smoother finish is left behind.
Often, a small amount of trial-and-error will be
the best way to determine which setting is
right for your particular application.
To change the feed roller speed, locate the
feed rate knob shown in
Figure 30
. The
machine must be running in order to change
speeds; however, you should NEVER be planing
stock through the machine when you switch
speeds. Start the planer and pull or push in the
knob as illustrated in
Figure 31 .
NOTICE
DO NOT change speeds while planing or
severe damage to gearbox will result!
