Roller Spring Tension

Roller spring tension keeps the workpiece securely fed into the planer without chatter or slipping.

To adjust the roller spring tension, do these steps:

1.Adjust the threaded plugs A, B,and C so they are flush with the head casting surface. Figure 33 shows the four spring adjustment plugs.

2.Adjust plug D so it protrudes 1⁄4" above the head casting. This extra height compensates for the pressure of the chain during operation.

NOTICE

More adjustments may be necessary to the roller spring tension after the machine has been run and is in safe working condition.
