Feed Rollers
The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are spring loaded. The feed rollers ride up on the board so that the roller pressure is maintained. If chips or sawdust build up between the bracket and bushing block, the amount of roller vertical travel will be reduced, potentially causing improp- er feeding of lumber through the machine (Figure
39).

Remove trapped sawdust from between
the bushing block and the bracket.
Figure 39. Location of potential trapped sawdust.
Periodically check and clean chips and sawdust from between the bushing blocks and brackets.
To clean the feed rollers:
1.DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!
2.Remove the elevation crank and the top and side covers. This provides easy access to depress the rollers so that chips and sawdust can be easily removed.
3.Place a 4'' high block of wood between one of the feed rollers and the planer bed. Ensure that the block of wood is not under the cutterhead.
4.Lower the cutterhead assembly down just enough so that the roller is pushed up against the spring and pressure is off of the two brackets.
5.Remove any trapped material from between the roller assembly and bracket.
