2.Check belt tension. Proper tension is obtained when there is approximately 1/4” deflection of the center span of the pulleys using light finger pressure (Fig. 10).
3.If adjustment of belt tension is necessary, loosen one pair of hex nuts (E & F, Fig. 11) and turn the other pair to raise or lower the motor plate.
Table Rollers
Overview
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A, Fig. 12) which turn as the stock is fed into the planer, thus reducing friction. It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood behaves differently.
As a general rule, however, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should be set at high position. When planing smooth stock the rollers should be set at low position.
Note: When raising the roller higher above the table, the available range is from .003” to .006” See Fig. 13.
