CHIP BREAKER
The chip breaker is located on the top side of the
planer and it extends down around the front of the
cutterhead. The purpose of the chip breaker is to
prevent deep gouging, also known as tear-out,as the
knives do their job. It works by breaking up the
woodchips as they are being cut by the knives. The
chip breaker also deflects and shoots out the
woodchips away from the surface of the board and out
the planer.
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.
1. Move the hinged upper cover assembly and lower
the table.
2. Make sure that the knives are properly adjusted.
3. Place the gauge block (A) on the table (B) directly
under the cutterhead (C).
4. Rotate the cutterhead until one of the knives are at
its lowest point.
DO NOT
SEE FIG 14.
5. Using a .040 feeler gauge between the gauge block
and the cutterhead, raise the table until the knife just
touches the feeler gauge.

9. Retighten both lock nuts and replace hinged dust
hood.
PRESSURE BAR
The pressure bar, like the chipbreaker, controls lumber
as it passes under the cutterhead. The pressure bar
helps to keep the lumber from lifting after it has been
planed. Incorrect positioning of the pressure bar can
result in a number of undesirable results such as snipe
or chatter marks. Setting the pressure bar too low can
also place excess load on the motor. To adjust the
pressure bar:
MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECT-
ED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
1. Remove the hinged top cover and dust port
assembly.
2. Place the gauge block (A) on the table (B) directly
under the cutterhead (C).
3. Rotate the cutterhead until one of the knives are at
its lowest point.
4. Loosen both locknuts(G)
5. Place Gauge block under the center of the pressure
bar and adjust both of the setscrews(H) until the
pressure bar just touches the tip of the block.
6. Once the bar is set, retighten both of the locknuts
and replace top cover and dust port.

WARNING
6. Remove your feeler gauge and slide the gauge
block under one side of the chip breaker (D).The

8. If any adjustment is necessary, loosen the
locknuts(E)and turn the setscrews(F).stop turning
