RECEIVING THE PLANER
ST AND ASSEMBL Y
Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items
from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any
damage should be reported to your distributor and
shipping agent immediately. Before proceeding
further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance
and safety procedures.
Remove the screws that hold planer to the shipping crate. Remove the protective coating from
the table, bed rolls, feed rolls, cutterhead and loose
items packed with the machine, including lifting
handles and motor pulley. This coating may be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with Kerosene. DO NOT use acetone, gasoline or lacquer
thinner for this purpose. DO NOT use solvents on
plastic parts.
CAUTION: Use care when cleaning the
cutterhead as knives are very sharp.
INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
For best planing performance, locate planer on
solid, level foundation and anchor to the floor with
good quality lag screws:
1. With machine in position, test table surface lengthwise and crosswise with machinist
level. Place metal shims under low corners.
2. Check that all four corners are supported,
then tighten lag screws.
3. Re-test level of table surface in both directions, and adjust if necessary.
TABLE EXTENSION ROLLERS
Mount the table extension rollers to the table using the provided hex hd. screws (A) and washers,
Figure 3. The rollers should be adjusted before
using the planer, see "Adjusting Table Extension
Rollers" pg. 8.
LIFTING HANDLES
There are four lifting handles, Figure 2, furnished
with the machine. If any type of sling is used to lift
the machine, be sure to attach to lifting handles
only. Make sure machine is kept in level position
while lifting. The lifting handles can be pushed
back in when not in use.
FIGURE 3
MOTOR, MOTOR PULLEY & BELT
1. Assemble the motor pulley (A) to the motor shaft by aligning it with the key in the shaft,
and tighten the screw (B) in the motor shaft, as
shown in Figure 4.

by loosening the set screws (C) in the motor plate
(B) as shown in Figure 5.
FIGURE 7
FIGURE 6
4. Assemble the belts to the two pulleys, Figure 6. Adjust for the proper belt tension by raising
or lowering the motor plate (F), Figure 7, then
tighten the nuts (G). Proper tension is obtained
when there is approximately 1/4" deflection of the
center span of the pulleys by using light finger pressure, Figure 8.
FIGURE 8
ADJUSTMENTS
TABLE ROLLER ADJUSTMENT
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A),
Figure 9, which turn as the stock is fed into the
planer , thus reducing friction. 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 at high position. When planing smooth stock the rollers should
be set at low position.
NOTE: When raising the roller higher above the
table, the range is from .003" to .006", see Figure
10.

FIGURE 9
FIGURE 10
The table rollers are factory set for average planing and are parallel to the table surface. If you
desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Lay a straight edge (B), Figure 11, across
both rollers.
3. On one side of the table, loosen the screws
(C) with an Allen wrench, and turn the eccentric
shafts (D) to raise or lower the rollers.
4. When the proper height is achieved,
tighten screws (C).
5. Adjust the rollers from the opposite side
of the table in the same manner.
FIGURE 11
ADJUSTING TABLE EXTENSION
ROLLERS
Place a straight edge over the extension rollers
and the table, as shown in Figure 12, to make sure
the extension rollers and the table are at the same
height.
If necessary, adjust the table extension rollers as
follows:
1. Loosen the screws and washers (A) to
move the table extension roller to the proper position, then retighten the screws.
2. Adjust both front and rear extension rollers in the same manner.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the height of front and
rear rollers are the same. The table rollers must
always be set parallel to the table.

KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
When checking or adjusting the cutterhead knives,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Remove the six screws (A) and remove
upper cover (B), Figure 15.
CUTTERHEAD ADJUSTMENT
Although your planer was carefully adjusted at the
factory , it should be checked before being put into
operation. Any inaccuracies due to rough handling in transit can easily be corrected by following these directions.
To check the adjustments you will need a straight
edge, feeler gauge, and a home-made gauge
block made of hardwood. This gauge block can
be made by following the dimensions shown in
Figure 14.
FIGURE 15
3. To check and adjust knives, use the provided knife gauge (C) and check all four knives,
Figure 16. Knives should just contact the bottom
of the center protrusion (D) of the knife gauge.
FIGURE 14
FIGURE 16
4. If an adjustment to one or more of the
knives is necessary, slightly loosen the knife gib
(E), Figure 16, by turning the six locking screws
9
(F) into the gib. Turn the screws just enough to
relieve stress in the cutterhead without disturbing
the setting of the knives. Do this for all four knives
at the same time.
5. With the gauge in place over a knife (G),
continue to loosen the locking screws (F) until the
lifter springs (H), begin raising the knife. When
knife comes into contact with the center protrusion (D) of the gauge, snug up the gib by lightly
backing out the six locking screws (F) against the
slot. NOTE: At this time, only tighten the knife
into the slot just enough to hold knife in position.
6. If additional knives must be reset, repeat
step 5.
7. After all four knives are set with screws
just snug, back out and tighten the six locking
screws (F), Figures 16 & 17, against the slot starting with the end screws first, then the center
screws, until the knife is securely held in the
cutterhead. Tighten remaining three knives in the
same manner.
IMPORTANT: Double check all screws for tightness.
same manner.
5. Thoroughly clean the knife slots, gibs,
springs and locking screws. Check the locking
screws; if the threads appear worn or stripped or
if the heads are becoming rounded, replace them.
6. Inspect the cutting edge of the knives for
nicks or wire edge. Hone the knives slightly using
a stone or if the knives are to be sharpened, maintain a cutting angle of 35 degrees as shown in
Figure 16.
7. Insert springs (H), knives (G) and gib (E)
into slot of cutterhead. Back out locking screws
(F) just enough to hold the knife in the cutterhead.
8. Place knife gauge (C) over knife as shown
in Figure 16.
9. While holding down on the knife gauge,
loosen all six locking screws (F) by turning them
into the gib (E) until cutting edge of knife comes
into contact with the protrusion (D) of the gauge.
Snug up the gib by slightly backing out the six locking screws against the slot.
NOTE: At this time, only tighten the knife into the
slot just enough to hold the knife in position.
10. Replace and reset the other three knives
in the same manner.
1 1. After all four knives are set with the screws
just snug, back out and tighten the six screws (F)
against the slot starting with the end screws first
and then the center screws until the knife is securely held in the cutterhead. Tighten the remaining three knives in the same manner.

CHECKING WORKING T ABLE P ARALLEL
TO CUTTERHEAD
The working table is set parallel to the cutterhead
at the factory and no further adjustment should be
necessary . If your machine is planing a t aper, first
check to see if the knives are set properly in the
cutterhead. Then check to see if the working table
is set parallel to the cutterhead. Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place the gauge block (A), Figure 18, on
the working table directly under front edge of head
casting (B). Make slight contact by gently raising
table.

ners.
NOTE: Turning sprocket clockwise will increase
the distance between the working table and
headcasting; counter-clockwise will decrease the
distance. This adjustment is very sensitive and it
should not be necessary to turn the sprocket more
than one or two teeth.
6. When adjustments are correct, replace
chain around corner sprocket, slide sprocket (C)
back to re-tension chain, tighten bolt (B) and replace and tighten bolt (A).
KNOW THE TRANSMITTING ROLLERS
OF YOUR PLANER
3. Move the gauge block to opposite end of
the working table. NOTE: Distance from the working table to edge of the head casting should be
the same.
4. Adjust opposite end in the same manner.
ADJUSTING WORKING T ABLE
P ARALLEL TO CUTTERHEAD
If the working table is not parallel to the cutterhead,
perform the adjustment procedures as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from power
source.
2. Tilt planer on its side to expose underside
of base, as shown in Figure 19.
3. Remove bolt (A) and loosen bolt (B) which
will allow you to move the idler sprocket assembly
(C) far enough to release tension on the chain, as

F. Outfeed Roller
The infeed roller (B) and outfeed roller (F), Figure
20, are those parts of your planer that feed the
stock while it is being planed. The infeed roller
and the outfeed roller are under spring tension and
this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock
uniformly through the planer without slipping but
should not be so tight that it causes damage to
the board. The tension should be equal at both
ends of each roller.

ADJUSTING INFEED & OUTFEED
ROLLER SPRING TENSION
To adjust the spring tension of the infeed and
outfeed rollers, turn screws (G & H) with an Allen
wrench, Figure 21. Turn screws on opposite end
of infeed/outfeed rollers in the same manner.
11
FIGURE 21
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
The anti-kickback fingers (A), Figure 20, are provided on your planer to prevent kickback of stock.
They operate by gravity and it is necessary to inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free
of gum and pitch, so that they move independently
and operate correctly.
To check and adjust the outfeed roller below the
cutting circle, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as previously explained under "Checking &
Adjusting of Knives."
3. Place the gauge block (J) on the table directly underneath the cutterhead (D), Figure 23.
Using a 0.02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge (K) placed
on top of the gauge block, raise the working table
until the knife just touches the feeler gauge when
the knife is at its lowest point. Do not move the
working table any further until the outfeed roller is
adjusted.
HEIGHT OF INFEED ROLLER, CHIPBREAKER, PRESSURE BAR & OUTFEED
ROLLER
The infeed roller, chipbreaker, pressure bar and
outfeed roller are adjusted at the factory. The
infeed roller and the chipbreaker should be set at
0.004" (0.1mm) below the cutting circle; the pressure bar should be set at 0.008" (.02mm) below
the cutting circle; and the outfeed roller should be
set at 0.02" (0.5mm) below the cutting circle. See
Figure 22.
If an adjustment to the infeed roller, chipbreaker,
pressure bar or outfeed roller is necessary, use
the following steps as an example of procedure.
FIGURE 22
FIGURE 23
4. Move the gauge block (J) under one end
of the outfeed roller (F), Figure 24. The bottom of
the outfeed roller should just touch the top of the
gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller
is necessary , loosen the lock nut (L) and turn screw
(M) until the outfeed roller just touches the gauge
block. Then tighten lock nut (L).
5. Check and adjust opposite end of the
outfeed roller in the same manner.

FEED SPEED CONTROL
Your machine is equipped with a spiral, serrated
infeed roller and a solid steel outfeed roller . When
the feed rollers are engaged, they turn to feed the
stock. The feed rollers slow automatically when
the machine is under heavy load for best planing
in all conditions. The feed rollers are driven by
chains (A), Figure 25, and the sprockets (B) which
take power directly from the cutterhead through
the oil bath gear box (C).
The gear box has two feed speeds. These are
set by pulling out or pushing in the shift lever (D)
while the machine is running. The feed speed
range is shown in Figure 26.
