W1747 20" Planer

Feed Speed

The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock through the planer while keeping boards flat and providing a con- sistent rate of movement.

The power feed features high/low feed rates. Use the different feed rates as stated below:

Low Feed Rate

Dimensioning Pass

High Feed Rate

Finishing Pass

Figure 10 illustrates the three different positions of the feed control knob. Moving the knob toward the machine (Position A) produces the high feed speed (23 FPM) mov- ing away from the machine (Position C) produces the low speed (18 FPM) and moving the knob to the center posi- tion (Position B) places the gearbox in neutral.

The speed should only be changed when the machine is running.

NOTICE

Only change the speeds when the planer is running, but DO NOT attempt to change speeds during any cutting operations or damage to the gearbox will result.
