Jet Tools JWP-16OS Transmitting Rollers, Infeed & Outfeed Roller Spring Tension Adjustment

Page 18

To adjust the spring tension of the infeed and outfeed rollers, turn screws (A, Fig. 29) with a hex wrench. A clockwise turn increases tension on the pressure spring (Fig. 30); a counterclockwise turn decreases tension. Adjust the screws at the other end of the rollers with the same number of turns.

Note: The most effective pressure settings are dependent on the type of lumber being planed. Experimentation will determine the best settings.

Infeed & Outfeed Roller Spring Tension Adjustment

The infeed roller (B, Fig. 28) and outfeed roller (F, Fig. 28) feed the stock while it is being planed. The infeed and outfeed rollers are under spring tension and this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the planer without slipping but should not be so tight that it causes damage to the board and/or the rubber coating on the outfeed roller. The tension should be equal at both ends of each roller.

Anti-Kickback

The JWP-16OS Planer provides an anti- kickback safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers hang from a rod suspended across the front of the cutterhead casting (A, Fig. 28) and help prevent kickback of stock. It is necessary to inspect them regularly to make sure they hang freely. Check that they are free of gum and pitch to insure independent movement and correct operation.
