Before planing, adjust the chip guide plate so that there is a clearance of at least 1⁄8'' between the guide plate and the planer knife tips. Before moulding, it is very important to move the chip guide plate away from the moulding knives. Failure to do so will result in damage to the Planer/Moulder.
CAUTION: When moulding, be sure to move the chip guide plate away to prevent it from being hit by the moulding cutter knives.
The chip breaker can be moved by loosening the wing nuts on top of the breaker. For moulding operations, move the chip breaker to the far front (toward the infeed side) position. For planing operations, move the chip breaker to the far rear position. Be sure to tighten the wing nuts after moving the chip breaker.
Figure 18.
The Planer/Moulder has a two speed gearbox that feeds the workpiece at 12 feet per minute (FPM) for improved surface finishing when plan- ing and moulding and 24 FPM for faster planing.
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the planer/moulder and turn it OFF before changing the gear.
To change the feed speed:
1.Remove the nut that secures the gearbox cover and remove the cover.
2.Loosen the cap screw that holds the gears onto their shafts.
3.Remove the gears.
4.Put the new gears on.
