RECOMMENDED
DEPTH OF CUT
NOTE: One revolution of the raising and lowering handle will move the cutterhead up or down 3/32 of an inch.
A 3/32" depth of cut can be made in soft woods on stock up to 8" wide and in hard woods on stock up to 7" wide; see chart in Fig. 18.
For 10" and 12" wide soft wood, we recommend a maxi- mum depth of cut of 1/16". For 10" and 12" wide hard wood, a maximum depth of cut of 3/64" is recommended; see chart in Fig. 18.
LEVELING
TABLE EXTENSIONS
The table extensions, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 19, must be level with the planer table. To check and adjust if necessary, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
1.Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 19, on the planer table with one end of the straight edge extending out over the infeed table extension (A) as shown. Check to see if the table extension is level with the planer table on both ends of table extension.
2.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (D) and adjust stop screw (E) on each end of the table (A) until table extension is level with planer table. Then tighten locknut. Recheck and make certain inside edge of table extension is level with planer table. NOTE: If necessary, loosen two screws (C), adjust table extension and tighten two screws.
3.Adjust opposite end of table extension (A) in the same manner. Make sure table is solidly supported in the level position.
4.Check and adjust outfeed table extension in the same manner.
