TABLE RAISING AND LOWERING
CONTROLS
WARNING DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE
For fast easy changes in thickness settings to
accommodate thick or thin
stock, the table can be
rapidly raised or lowered by pulling up or pushing
down on the table raising and lowering control lever
(C) Fig. 9. NOTE: The machine must be turned "ON"
and the feed rolls engaged when doing this. Fine
adjustment of the table height can be made by
loosening lock knob (D) Fig. 9, and turning table
raising and lowering handwheel (E). Tighten lock
knob (D) after table adjustment is made. The handy
English/Metric Scale (F) indicates the desired table
height setting. The English/Metric scale and shelf (G)
Fig. 10, located on the front of the table is used to
quickly determine the thickness of stock, before or
after planing, by simply placing the stock on the shelf
as shown in Fig. 10. This enables you to quickly
position the table for the next cut.
NOTE: The setting of the table to its final position
should
always be made by rai
sing the table to the desired
setting and not lowering the table. T
his insures that
all backlash will be removed from the raising and
lowering screws.
FEED ROLL SPEED CONTROLS
Your planer is supplied with feed roll speeds of 25
and 46 feet per minute. When the feed roll lever (A
)
is in the "up" position as shown in Fig. 11, the feed
rolls are engaged and the planer will feed. When the
lever (A) is in the "down" position the feed rolls are
disengaged and the planer will not feed. To
disenguage the feed rolls, at any time, simply push
down on the engagement lever (A) Fig. 11.

To change feed roll speeds, make sure the feed roll
engagement lever (A
) Fig. 12, is disengaged (in the
down position) and open the left side door of the
machine. When the belt (C) is on the smallest step of the
motor pulley (D) and the largest step of the gearbox
pulley (E), the feed roll speed will be 25 feet per minute.
When the belt (C) is on the largest step of the motor
pulley (D) and the smallest step of the gearbox pulley
(E), the feed roll speed will be 46 feet per minute.
TABLE ROLLERS
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig. 13,
which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction and
turn as the
stock is fed through the planer. It is
not
possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height
setting of the table rollers because each type of wood
behaves differently. As a general rule, however, when
planing rough stock the table rollers should be set HIGH
and when planing smooth stock the table rollers should
be set LOW.
To raise the table rollers (A) Fig. 13, turn adjustment
knob (B) cloc
kwise. To lower table rollers (A) turn
adjustment knob (B) counterclockwise.
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
Anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 14, are provided on your
planer to prevent kickback. Th
ese fingers operate by
gravity and it is necessary to inspect them occasionally
to make sure they are free of gum and pitch so they
move independently and operate correctly.
