The scale can be adjusted for accuracy. The machine will need to be run to make proper adjustments.

To calibrate the scale:

1.Set the table to the approximate thickness of your test lumber. Measure the lumber with calipers to determine its exact thickness.

2.Move the table to 1⁄16'' under the thickness of your lumber and feed your test board through the planer.

3.Turn the handwheel one full rotation and run the board through once more. Turn the board over and repeat.

4.Re-measure the board and compare your results with the scale. If there is a discrep- ancy, loosen the screws (see Figure 39) and adjust as necessary.

Anti-Kickback Fingers

The Model G1033X provides an anti-kickback system as a safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the cutterhead casting. The anti-kickback fingers should be inspected regularly.

Check the fingers (Figure 40) to ensure that they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and easily, clean them with a wood resin solvent.

Proper operation of the anti-kickback fin- gers is essential for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to ensure that they are working properly could result in serious operator injury.

Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti- kickback fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust, restricting the free movement of the fingers.
