Chip Deflector

The chip deflector keeps chips from falling onto the outfeed roller. It is the orange plastic plate located under the top cover.

The beveled edge of the chip deflector should be about 1⁄8" - 1⁄4" from the knife edge. Carefully rotate the cutterhead to gauge the distance between the chip deflector and the knives. Adjust if necessary. However, if the chip deflector is set too close to the knives, the rotating cutterhead may pull it in and destroy it.

TO ADJUST THE CHIP DEFLECTOR:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source and remove the planer’s upper cover.

2.Loosen the three deflector mounting bolts. See Figure 25. Make sure the beveled edge of the deflector faces the cutterhead.

3.Move the deflector until its edge is approxi- mately 1⁄8" - 1⁄4" from the tip of the cutting knives. Push down on the deflector with a wooden stick to check if it will touch the knives. Cautiously rotate the cutterhead to ensure clearance. Do Not touch the knives - severe cuts may result.

4.Re-tighten the chip deflector mounting bolts and re-mount the upper cover to the planer.
