Feed Rollers and Chip Breaker Adjustments

The infeed, outfeed rollers and chip breaker are preset at the factory for normal use. If material is not feeding evenly through the planer follow these adjustment procedures.

For adjusting the infeed, outfeed rollers and chip breaker (Figure 26) you’ll need to cut 2 parallel boards (zeroing boards) as shown in figure 28 and follow steps 1 through 7.

!IMPORTANT: Make sure the boards are exactly the same width and thick enough not to tip sideways. Joint and rip a 2 x 4 to size. (3-1/2"W x 1-1/2"H x 32"L)

Zeroing the Planer

1Disconnect planer from the power source.

2Remove the top cover and dust hood of the planer.

3You will need to remove the belt cover so you can rock the cutterhead back and forth. ! WARNING: Do not move the cutterhead by touching it directly, injury may result.

4Lower the bed rollers so they are below the bed surface. Bed rollers are shown in figure 27.

5Place the 2 boards parallel to each other as shown in fig 28.

6Crank the table up to the point where the bottom of the cutterhead is almost touching the boards.

7By holding onto the pulley, rock the cutterhead back and forth and slowly crank the table up until the bottom arc of the planer knife just “kisses" the top of the board. Once this happens lock the planer bed in position. You will notice the chip breaker and feed rollers are pushed up to the same level as the lowest arc of the planer knife.
