6.Position the knife gauge over the knife as shown in

Figure 20.

7.Jack Screws—Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 22) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the middle pad of the knife set- ting gauge. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7with the remaining knives.

Springs—Push the knife down with the gauge so that the knife edge touches the middle pad of the gauge. Hold the gauge down and tighten the gib bolts just tight enough to keep the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7with the remaining knives.

8.Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts by following the tightening sequence shown in Figure 23. Repeat this step on the remaining knives.

9.Final tighten each gib bolt, then reinstall the top cover, dust hood and V-belt cover.

SERVICE

Chain Tension

The chain drive can be adjusted to remove slack if the chain stretches over time or is loosened during table lev- eling procedures.

To adjust the chain tension, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the motor and front access panels.

NOTICE

During the next step, DO NOT let the chain fall off the sprockets. Returning the chain to its proper loca- tion without changing the table adjustments will be very difficult and time consuming.

3.Using a 14mm wrench, loosen the two lock bolts, move the idler sprocket against the chain to tighten it (Figure 24) and re-tighten the locking bolts.

4.Check chain lubrication. Refer to LUBRICATION on Page 23 for further details.
