5. Referring back to your measurements with the
feeler gauge, if the gap difference from one side to
the other is .004" or less, no adjustment will be
necessary.
If the gap is greater than .004", but less than .016",
proceed to step 6.
If the gap is greater than 0.016", refer to the
ADJUSTING CHAIN DRIVE section in the ADJUST-
MENTS section of the manual.
6. For gap differences between .005" and .016",
deternine which side of the table needs to be raised
to fix the gap .
7. Loosen both sets of screws for each column on the
side that needs adjusted.
8. Pull up or push down on the table in the direction
that it needs to move, hold in position and retighten
the screws.
9. Repeat these steps until the variance is .004" or less.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS
The chain drive in your planer transfers movement
from the hand wheel driven column to the three other
support columns. The chain drive may require an
adjustment to remove slack as the chain stretches over
time, or as part of table leveling procedures.
Some of the adjustments covered in this section have
already been made at the factory. It is still a good idea to
familiarize yourself with all of the following procedures
so that you have a solid understanding of the planers
operation.
TABLE PARALLELISM ADJUSTMENT
To make adjustments to the table, it is necessary to
make a gauge block.
When constructing this block, be sure to use a
hardwood such as oak or maple.
DO NOT use standard
2 x 4 material. A diagram for this block is located near
the end of the manual.
NOTICE: A substitute for this gauge block would be to
use a magnetic dial indicator. Anywhere it calls for use
of the gauge block in this section, you may substitute
with the dial indicator.
DO NOT make adjustments while the planer is running.
Make certain that the switch is in the off position and
that the machine is disconnected from the power
source.
Planer knives are extremely sharp. Please use extra
caution when your hands are near the blades.
1. Having the table parallel to the cutterhead is essential
for planing stock perfectly square. Check this by plac-
ing the gauge block that you have constructed under
the left end of the cutterhead.
2. Turn the handwheel clockwise to raise the table so
that the block barely touches the left side of the body
of the cutterhead.
NOTE: Make sure that the block is
actually touching the body of the cutterhead and not
the knives.
SEE FIG 11.
3. Slide the block to the right taking note of any gaps
between the top of the block and the bottom of the
cutterhead body. Measure any of these gaps with a
feeler gauge.
4. When moving the block from left to right, if the block
wedges tightly between the cutterhead and the table,
repeat steps 2 and 3, but start from the right side of
the cutterhead body and slide the block to the left.
