screws.
NOTICE
More adjustments may be necessary to the
roller spring tension after the machine has
been run and is in safe working condition.
Roller spring tension keeps the workpiece
securely fed into the planer without chatter or
slipping.
To adjust the roller spring tension, do these
steps:
1. Adjust the threaded plugs A, B,and Cso
they are flush with the head casting
surface. Figure 33 shows the four spring
adjustment plugs.
2. Adjust plug Dso it protrudes 1⁄4" above the
head casting. This extra height compensates
for the pressure of the chain during
operation.
