Note: Turn the board over between each pass.

2.Use calipers to measure the board thick- ness.

3.If there is a discrepancy between the board thickness and the reading on the table height scale, loosen the two screws shown in Figure 50, adjust the scale in relation to the pointer, then re-tighten the screws.

Anti-Kickback

Fingers

The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod suspended across the head casting and in front of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 51. This design allows the workpiece to easily enter the planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging into the workpiece if it moves backward.

Anti-Kickback Fingers

Figure 51. Anti-kickback fingers.

Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure they swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely and easily, first clean them with a wood resin solvent, then inspect them for dam- age. If any of the fingers are damaged, the device must be replaced before using the machine.

Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti- kickback fingers that will attract dust, and restrict the free movement of the fingers.

Proper operation of the anti-kickback fin- gers is critical for the safe operation of this planer. DO NOT operate the planer if the anti-kickback fingers are not operating cor- rectly. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
