5.Once your roller heights are correct, retight- en all the setscrews.

6.Check the height of the table rollers. Repeat steps 1-5until the bed rollers are properly set.

7.Spin the bed rollers to ensure free move- ment.

Feed Roller Pressure

To be effective, the infeed and outfeed rollers must put pressure on the workpiece as it feeds through the planer. Too little pressure results in slipping boards, too much pressure results in jamming.

Experiment with the best pressure settings for your work situations. Some rough cut lumber will feed through with relatively few problems, while other lumber will have more difficulty.

Adjusting roller pressure does not affect height.

To adjust roller pressure:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source!

2.Ensure that knives and feed rollers are set correctly.

3.Unscrew the three regular pressure setscrews on top of the planer body. See Figure 41.
