Pulley Alignment
The pulleys should be in line for proper belt operation.
1.Remove the belt guard and place a straight edge against the faces of both pulleys (Figure 13).
2.If the straight edge does not lie flat on both pulley faces, open the rear panel and loosen the four hex nuts on the motor plate (see Figure 12) with a 12mm wrench.
3.Nudge the motor left or right until the pulleys are in alignment.
4.Tighten hex nuts and replace covers.
Table Rollers
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (Figure 14) which turn as the stock is fed into the machine, thus reducing friction. It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently. As a general rule, however, when planing rough stock the table rollers should be set at high position. When planing smooth stock the rollers should be set at low position.
NOTE: When raising the roller higher above the table, the range is from zero to 0.06" (Figure 15).
Figure 15
The table rollers are factory set for average planing and are parallel to the table surface. If you desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower, proceed as follows:
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.Lay a straight edge across both rollers.
3.On one side of the table, loosen the set screws (Figure 16) with a 3mm hex wrench, and turn the eccentric shafts to raise or lower the rollers.
4.When proper height is achieved, tighten set screws.
5.Adjust the rollers from the opposite side of the table in the same manner.
