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:

1.Loosen the chip deflector mounting bolts shown in Figure 24.

2. Make sure the deflector is angled toward the cutterhead. Position the edge of the deflector to approximately 1⁄16" from the knife edge. Rotate the cutterhead with the V-belt pulley and make sure there is enough clearance between all the knives and the chip deflector.

3.Re-tighten the mounting bolts and replace the top cover.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

The Model W1683 features anti-kickback pawls (shown in Figure 25) as an important safety feature. These safety devices allow the workpiece to enter the planer without affecting the proper operation, but are designed to stop the workpiece from coming back out of the entrance in the event of a kickback.

The anti-kickback pawls should be frequently checked to ensure that they swing free and easy. Do not try to lubricate the pawls. Lubrication may cause dust to build-up, which will restrict movement.

The power should not be connected to the planer at this time! If it is, serious injury may occur.

NOTICE

If you use a dust collector, move the chip deflector slightly farther away from the knives to help remove chips better.

Proper operation of the anti-kickback pawls is essential to the safe operation of the planer. If they aren’t working properly, they will not protect you if a kickback occurs.
