Feeding.Workpiece.
The feed rate on this planer is automatically set at 26
FPM. Infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece
through the planer while keeping it firmly against the
table and providing a consistent rate of movement.
To.feed.workpiece.into.planer,.do.these.steps:
1.
Place workpiece on table with side to be planed
facing
up
toward cutterhead.
.
Note:
Boards more than 24" long should be
supported on both sides of planer. This can be done
with roller extension tables or standard extension
tables.
2.
Lower cutterhead until indicator on depth-of-cut
gauge reads
1
⁄
64
" (see
Figure.19
).
Note:
Any time you switch directions with
cutterhead elevation handwheel, there will be a
small amount of backlash—so the first full crank
of the handwheel after switching directions will
be slightly less than
1
⁄
16
". However, as long as you
move the handwheel in the same direction during
operation, backlash will not be a factor.
3.
Rotate cutterhead elevation handwheel
1
⁄
4
turn
counterclockwise to raise cutterhead approximately
1
⁄
64
". This will set depth of cut to
1
⁄
32
". Remove
workpiece from planer.
4.
Turn planer
ON
.
5.
Feed workpiece into front of planer, making sure not
to stand directly in front of or behind workpiece to
reduce risk of a kickback injury.
— If cut is too deep and bogs down planer, raise
cutterhead to reduce depth of cut, then repeat
Step.5
.
.
Note:
Infeed and outfeed rollers will automatically
pull workpiece through planer during operation. Do
not push or pull on workpiece once feed rollers have
engaged it.
6.
Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller, measure
workpiece thickness. If further planing is needed,
lower cutterhead another
1
⁄
4
–
1
⁄
2
turn (
1
⁄
32
") of the
elevation handwheel, and repeat cutting operation.
7.
Continue process until desired
workpiece thickness is reached.
Elevation scale shows approximate
thickness of workpiece after it has
been cut. Use this indicator to judge
when thickness is approximately
correct. For more precise applications,
measure workpiece thickness with
calipers during cutting operation.
