Digimerge 22-470 ANTI-KICKBACK Fingers, Checking and Adjusting Drive Belt Tension

7.If an adjustment to the outfeed table roller is neces- sary, loosen locknut (G) Fig. 26, which is located under the table and below the outfeed table roller (F), and rotate adjustment nuts (H) as necessary, to raise or lower the height of the outfeed roller (F). NOTE: It will be necessary to raise the table to gain access to the adjustment nuts. Tighten locknut (G) Fig. 26, after the adjustment is made.

8.Check and adjust the height of the outfeed table roller on the other side of the table in the same manner.

ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS

A series of anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 27, are provided on the infeed end of the planer to prevent kickback of the workpiece during planing operations. These anti-kickback fingers operate by gravity and no adjustment is required. It is necessary, however, to inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and pitch and that they operate independently and freely.

WHEN INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS, MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER

SOURCE.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION

Proper belt tension is when there is approximately 1/4” deflection, using light finger pressure on the drive belts (A) Fig. 28, midway between pulleys. If an adjustment is nec- essary, proceed as follows:

1.	DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
	THE POWER SOURCE.

2. Disengage feed roller lever (B) Fig. 28.
