LEVELING
EXTENSION TABLES
For optimum performance, the extension tables, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 17, must be level with the planer table. To check the extension tables and adjust if necessary, proceed as follows:
1.Place a straight edge (B) Fig. 17, on the planer table
(A) with one end extending out over the extension table as shown. Check to see if the infeed table is level with the planer table on both ends of the planer table.
2.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (C) Fig. 17, and adjust stop screw (D) on each side of the extension table (A) until the extension table is level with the planer table (E); then tighten locknut (C). Recheck and make certain inside edge of table extension is level with the planer table. If necessary, loosen two screws (F), adjust extension table and retighten two screws (F). Adjust opposite side of the table in the same manner. Make certain the extension table is solidly supported when there is downward pressure on the table.
3.Check and adjust outfeed extension table in the same manner.
STORING THE POWER CORD
Wire hangers (A) Fig. 18, are provided on the underside of the infeed extension table as shown, to store the power cord (B) when the planer is not in use and when transporting the machine.
ADJUSTING KNIVES
IF THE KNIVES ARE TO BE REMOVED FOR SHARPENING OR REPLACEMENT, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN AS THE KNIVES ARE VERY SHARP.
To check and adjust the knives, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
1.Lower the head assembly by turning handle (B) Fig.
2.Remove chip deflector (A) Fig. 19.
3.Carefully place knife setting gage (B) Fig. 20, on the cutterhead so the rounded sections are directly over the knife as shown. When adjusted correctly, the knife should just contact the bottom of the center portion at each end of gage (B). Check the other knife in the same manner.
