ADJUSTMENTS

Feed Rollers and

Chip Breaker

The feed rollers and the chip breaker are factory set for general planing. If you need to alter the settings or reset them after maintenance, these components can be adjusted at the same time, assuming that the knife height is set correctly. The standard setting for the chipbreaker is 0.020" below the cutterhead knife at bottom dead center. The infeed roller and outfeed roller should be set to 0.040" below the cutterhead knife at bottom dead center.

To accurately perform this adjustment, you will need a dial indicator (not included). Refer to Planer Accessories on Pages 34 and 35 for more details.

To adjust the feed rollers and the chip breaker, make sure you have adjusted the cutterhead alignment as outlined on Page 14 first, then do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE PLANER!

2.W1723: Cut two wood boards that are the same height and are at least 20" long. W1724: Cut one board only.

3.W1723: Place both boards across the table as shown in Figure 26.

W1724: Place the board in the center of the table and cutterhead.

4.Remove the belt cover and lower the cutterhead casting until the board(s) barely touch the knife edge.

5.Rotate the cutterhead pulley until a knife is at BDC (Bottom Dead Center, see Figure 27) as indicated by the knife tip barely grazing the board, making a slight rubbing sound.

6.W1723: Lower the feed rollers onto the boards using the feed roller adjustment setscrew shown in Figure 28.

W1724: Position the board to the far left and lower the feed rollers onto the board, then move the board to the far right and lower the feed rollers onto the board.
