ADJUSTMENTS

Chip Deflector

A chip deflector is mounted behind the cutterhead to keep wood chips from falling onto the outfeed roller.

To adjust the chip deflector, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE PLANER!

2.Remove the dust cover to access the chip breaker, and remove the belt cover.

3.Loosen the chip deflector mounting bolts shown in Figure 31.

4. Make sure the deflector is angled toward the cutterhead.

•If you do not use a dust collector, position the edge of the deflector 1⁄16" from the knife edge.

•If you use a dust collector, position the edge of the deflector 1⁄4" from the knife edge.

5. Rotate the cutterhead with the V-belt pulley and make sure there is enough clearance between all the knives and the chip deflector.

6.Re-tighten the mounting bolts and replace the dust cover and belt cover.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

Unbinding and free operation of the anti- kickback pawls is essential for the safe operation of the planer. Pawls clogged with pitch, sawdust, or other contaminants can render them useless if a kickback occurs.

Your planer features anti-kickback pawls that allow the workpiece to enter the planer, but stop the workpiece from coming back out of the entrance in the event of a kickback. See Figure 32.

Inspect the anti-kickback pawls frequently to ensure that they swing free and easy and that no pitch, sawdust, or other contaminants restrict operation. Never lubricate the pawls. Lubrication may cause dust to build-up, which will restrict movement.
