Electrolux 22-785 instruction manual ANTI-KICKBACK Fingers, Adjusting Belt Tension

ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS

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

POWER SOURCE.

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 the planing operation. 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 move independently and operate correctly.
