The feed roller spring tension is factory set and should require no initial adjustments, unless needed for a special type of stock. If a situation develops where the workpiece does not feed straight, adjustments to one roller may be neces- sary. Usually if the board is moving to one side, that side needs more pressure.
Open the left cabinet door and locate the spring above the feed block (directly above the adjust- ment bolt from the previous instructions). Turn the nut
In general, rough stock or deeper cuts require more feed rate pressure (more spring tension). Shallow cuts need less feed rate pressure. Too much pressure increases snipe. Find a balance that is right for your application.
The segmented chip breaker is factory set for height, so the only adjustment that can be per- formed is to the spring pressure.
To adjust the pressure on the chip breaker segments:
1.Make sure the planer is disconnected from the power source!
2.Rotate the knurled adjustment rings shown in Figure 18 either left or right to increase or decrease the spring tension.
