Chip Deflector Positioning

The chip deflector keeps chips from falling onto the outfeed roller.

Chip Deflector Gap Setting
If Planer Used w/Dust Collector	1⁄4"
If Planer Used w/o Dust Collector	1⁄16"

To adjust the deflector position, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the dust port and top cover.

3.Loosen the chip deflector mounting bolts (see

Figure 32).

4.Make sure the deflector is beveled toward the cutterhead. Move the deflector until the edge is the correct distance (given above) from the closest knife

5.Rotate the cutterhead to ensure clearance by turn- ing the cutterhead pulley.

6.Re-tighten the mounting bolts and return the top cover and dust port to the planer.

Scale Calibration
The scale can be adjusted for accuracy. The machine will
need to be run to make proper adjustments.	Figure 33. Depth scale adjustment screws.
To calibrate the scale, do these steps:

1.Set the table to the approximate thickness of your test lumber. Measure the lumber with calipers to determine its exact thickness.

2.Move the table to 1⁄16" under the thickness of your lumber and feed your test board through the planer.

3.Turn the handwheel one full rotation and run the board through once more. Turn the board over and repeat.

4.Re-measure the board and compare your results with the scale. If there is a discrepancy, loosen the screws (see Figure 33) and adjust as necessary.
