3.Loosen the three socket head cap screws (A, Figure 15) beneath the table.

4.Place a rod-like object (such as a hex wrench) into one of the open holes (B, Figure 15) and turn the shaft (C, Figure 15) to raise the table until the gauge reads the proper measurement. Or, the same effect can be achieved by lowering the other side of the table.

5.Re-tighten the socket head cap screws (A, Figure 15).

Test Cutting and Troubleshooting

Figure 15

Using a piece of semi-finished stock, set up for a 1/16” (1.59mm) deep cut with the quick-set table roller setting at zero. Start the machine and, standing to one side of the table, begin feeding the stock into the machine.

Never stand directly behind stock or allow anyone else to do so, and do not bend down to see how stock is feeding. Should a kickback occur, serious or fatal injury could result.

The infeed roller should take the material and force it under the chipbreaker and cutterhead. If the material feeds through effortlessly, examine the finished cut carefully for imperfections.

Learning to read a board for imperfections will save hours in adjusting a planer to operate properly.

Following are some problems that may arise and their probable remedies. The illustrations are exaggerated for clarity. (Pages 37-39 also contain Troubleshooting remedies).

Feed Restriction

This is caused either by the table rollers being set too low for roughing operations or from a low pressure bar. About 90 percent of the time, the pressure bar is too low. As the sharp edge of the knife inserts wear, you must compensate for this wear by slightly raising the pressure bar an equal amount on each side. Your first indication of knife wear is hesitation in feed of the material through the machine after it leaves the corrugated infeed roller on its way out of the machine. Disconnect machine from power and adjust the pressure bar accordingly. The material will free up and feed through smoothly when the planer is restarted.

Never attempt pressure bar adjustment while the machine is connected to power.
