3.Check roller height according to the above instructions. Continue turning the setscrew until the roller is properly adjusted.

4.When the roller is set in the correct position, re-tighten the check nuts you loosened in Step 2 above.

5.Check your settings one last time and repeat steps 1-4 if necessary.

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 fine 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 four large pressure setscrews on top of the planer body. See Figure 21.
