After switching between planing and molding operations, you must re-adjust the feed roller height and spring ten- sion. Feed roller height and spring tension keeps the workpiece feeding into the planer/moulder without chat- ter or slipping. Rollers that are too high, or spring tension that is too light, can cause the workpiece to chatter and slip. Rollers that are too low, or spring tension that is too heavy, can cause the workpiece to hang on initial feed, cause rapid feed system wear and increase workpiece snipe. The settings below are close to what you will need to use, but some trial-and-error on height and spring ten- sion will be required for best results.

(. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER!

). Loosen the feed-roller stop jam nuts and rotate the eccentric stops with a 5mm hex wrench until the rollers lower to the required level:

—For planing, lower the roller so it is approximately 1mm below the lowest sweep of the planing knife.

—For moulding, lower the roller so it is approximately 3⁄16'' below the highest point of the moulding knife profile. Refer to Figure 27 to study and find the highest point of the moulding knife profile when the knife is at the lowest point of its sweep.
