Woodstock W1724, W1723 instruction manual Gib bolt tightening sequence

NOTICE

Uneven tightening or over-tightening the gib bolts may warp the cutterhead, causing it to become unbalanced, which will lead to premature knife and bearing wear from vibration.

To tighten the knives after adjustment, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE PLANER!

2.Alternating back-and-forth, lightly snug the gib bolts by following the tightening sequence shown in Figure 20, but DO NOT tighten the bolts completely.

3.Rotate the cutterhead to the next knife and repeat Step 2, and then repeat again with each knife. When all knife gib bolts have been snugged, and you come back to the knife you started with, check the knife height with the jig to make sure that it is still set correctly.

•If the height is incorrect, readjust

as necessary and re-snug the gib bolts.

•If the height is correct, snug each bolt down a little more in the same alternating method as in Step 2, but DO NOT tighten the bolts completely. Repeat this tightening sequence again with each knife.

4.When you return to the original knife, tighten all gibs completely in the same fashion, repeating on all knives.

5.Recheck the knife height on all knives with the jig to make sure that the height is still correct.

•If the height is incorrect, repeat Steps 2 through 5 until correct.
