W1754 20" Planer With Mobile Base

Feed Speed

The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock through the planer while keeping boards flat and providing a con- sistent rate of movement.

The power feed features high/low feed rates. The speed should only be changed when the machine is running. Use the different feed rates as stated below:

16 FPM	Dimensioning Pass
20 FPM	Finishing Pass

Figure 12 illustrates the three different positions of the feed control knob.

NOTICE

Only change the speeds when the planer is running, but DO NOT attempt to change speeds during any cutting operations or damage to the gearbox will result.
