1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.Remove the three hex cap screws and washers (E, Figure 30).
3.Remove the three sprockets (B, Figure 30) from the infeed roller, outfeed roller and the gear shaft at the same time.
4.When all sprockets have been removed, replace the gear shaft sprocket (G, Figure 31) and its chain (F, Figure 31) with those of a different size.
5.Mount all three sprockets and chains to their shafts, and tighten all hex cap screws and washers (E, Figure 30).
Return Rollers
The two return rollers on top of the machine serve as a convenient rest for stock. They save time and motion for the operator as the stock is returned to the infeed side.
Depth of Cut
The cutting depth scale is a combination inch/metric scale (A, Figure 32), with a cutting range from 0 to 8" (204mm). The distance of upward or downward movement is controlled by the handwheel (B, Figure 32). One revolution of the handwheel is .059" (1.5mm). Before moving the table up or down, loosen the lock nuts (C, Figure 32). After obtaining proper table position, tighten the lock nuts (C, Figure 32).
Maximum depth of cut is 1/8". A limiter (D, | Figure 32 | |
Figure 32) is provided to limit the depth of cut on |
| |
full width planing from 3/16" to 1/8". |
| |
The depth scale and pointer are adjustable and |
| |
should be checked for accuracy. Proceed as |
| |
follows: |
| |
1. | Connect power, and turn on the planer. |
|
2. | Take a scrap board and measure its exact |
|
| thickness with calipers. |
|
3. | Raise or lower the table so the scale reads |
|
| the thickness of the board minus 1/16". |
|
| Feed the board through the planer. |
|
4. | Move the table up another 1/16". Flip the |
|
| board over and plane the other side. |
|
5. | Measure the board with calipers and |
|
| compare with the depth scale on the planer. |
|
| If the scale needs adjustment, loosen the |
|
| screws and shift the scale up or down as |
|
| needed. Tighten screws when finished. |
