Anti-KickbackBelts

The Model G1021 Planer provides an anti-kick- back safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the front of the cutterhead casting. The anti-kickback fingers should be inspected regularly. Check the fingers to ensure that they swing freely and easily. See Figure 26.

WARNING

DO NOT apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kickback fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust and restrict free movement of the fingers, which could result in damage to your workpiece, the planer, or possibly seri- ous injury to the operator or others in the workplace. Call our Customer Service num- ber if the anti-kickback fingers do not move freely when setting up your planer. DO NOT attempt to use the planer if the anti-kick- back fingers are not operating properly.

Figure 26. Anti-kickback assembly.

The belt and pulley assembly are on the left side of the planer. The belts transfer power from the motor to the cutterhead and then through the gearbox to the feed rollers. Remove the belt cover by unscrewing the four flange bolts holding the cover in place.

TO INSPECT/ADJUST THE PULLEYS:

Place a metal ruler across the pulleys to check alignment. The pulleys are aligned if the ruler crosses them evenly. See Figure 27.

If the pulleys are out of alignment:

1.Loosen the bolts that hold the motor to the motor mount bracket.

2.Adjust the position of the motor until the pul- leys are in line.

3.Re-tighten all bolts.
