SAFETY
kickback and kickback-related injuries.
“Kickback” occurs during operation when
the workpiece is ejected from the machine
at high speed. Kickback is commonly caused
by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding
techniques, or improper machine setup/
maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur
as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck
by the workpiece, resulting in impact injuries
(i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death);
(2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.
remove guards/covers or reach inside the
planer during operation or while connected to
power. You could be seriously injured if you
accidentally touch the spinning cutterhead
or get entangled in moving parts. If a
workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal
is necessary, turn planer OFF and disconnect
power before clearing.
sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or
damaged knives/inserts increase the risk of
kickback.
kickback injuries or machine damage,
thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece
before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of
nails, staples, loose knots or foreign material.

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.

Before starting your machine for the first time, check the
gearbox oil level. The proper oil level is just even with
the bottom of the fill plug hole. The gearbox uses ISO 320
gear oil. However, SAE 140 gear oil or SAE 85W–140 multiweight gear oil may also be used as alternatives. DO NOT
mix oil types.
Note: For easier access to the fill plug, remove the drive

Below is a list of wood characteristics you

descriptions of defects will give you some
possible answers to problems you may encounter
while planing different materials. Possible
solutions follow the descriptions.
Chipped Grain
Problem:
the grain, planing workpieces with knots or
excessive amount of cross grain, or using dull
knives/inserts.
Note:
highly figured wood.
Solution: Decrease the depth of cut. Reduce the
feed rate. Inspect your workpiece and determine
if its grain pattern is causing the problem. If the
workpiece does not show substantial crossgrain,
inspect your knives/inserts.
Fuzzy Grain
Problem: Usually caused by surfacing workpieces
with too high of a moisture content. Sometimes
fuzzy grain is an unavoidable characteristic of
some woods, such as basswood. Fuzzy grain can
also be caused by dull knives/inserts.
Solution:
meter. If moisture is greater than 20%, sticker
the workpiece and allow it to dry. Otherwise,
inspect the knife/insert condition.
Snipe
Problem
material removed than the rest of the board.
Usually caused when the workpiece is not
properly supported as it goes through the
machine. In many cases, however, a small
amount of snipe is inevitable.
Solution: Hold workpiece up slightly as it leaves
the outfeed end of the planer. The best way
to deal with snipe is by planing the workpiece
longer than your intended work length and then
cutting off the excess after planing is completed.

Chip Marks or Indentations
Problem: Chip indentation or chip bruising is the
result of wood chips not being ejected from the

The depth of cut on a planer means the amount of
material that is removed from the top of the workpiece as
it passes underneath the cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance of the
table below the cutterhead. This distance is the thickness
of the workpiece minus the depth of cut.

A series of light cuts will give better end results and put
less stress on the planer than trying to take off too much

Bed Roller Height Range ........................0.002"–0.020"
The correct height of the bed rollers will vary, depending

a general rule, keep the bed roller height within 0.002"–
0.020" above the table surface, as illustrated in
When planing rough stock, set the rollers high to keep the
lumber from dragging along the bed. When planing milled
lumber, set the rollers low to help minimize snipe.

The infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece
through the planer while keeping it flat and providing a
consistent rate of movement. The speed that these rollers
move the workpiece through the planer is the feed rate.
Generally, low feed rates are used for dimensioning, while
higher feed rates are used for finishing.
The figure below illustrates the three different positions
of the feed rate control knob:
• Push knob in to use high feed rate.
• Pull the knob out to use the low feed rate.
• Move knob to center position to place gearbox in

Setting the height of the knives correctly is crucial to the
proper operation of your planer and is very important in
keeping the knives sharp. If one knife protrudes higher
than the others, it will do the majority of the work, dull
much faster, and produce poor cutting results.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning & Protecting
MAKE SURE that your machine
is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this
warning is ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to
any specific instructions given in this section.
Note: This maintenance schedule is based on
average daily usage. Adjust the maintenance
schedule to match your usage, to keep your
planer running smoothly, and to protect your
investment.
Ongoing
• Clean machine and protect unpainted castiron surfaces.
• Lubricate feed roller bushings (Page 39).
• Tighten loose mounting bolts.
• Check/sharpen/replace damaged or worn
knives/inserts (Page 31).
• Check/repair/replace worn/damaged wires.
• Resolve any other unsafe condition.
Every 40 Hours of Operation
• Clean cutterhead and, for W1863, check
knife height (
• Lubricate table columns and leadscrews
(Page 39).
MAINTENANCE
Every 160 Hours of Operation
• Check/tension/replace V-belts (Page 41).
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside
cabinet and off motor.
• Lubricate table height worm gear
(Page 39).
• Lubricate table height chain and sprockets
(Page 39).
• Lubricate drive chain and sprockets
(Page 40).
Page 31).
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving
cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep your table rust-free with regular
applications of quality lubricants.
Lubrication
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual for
your machine could lead to premature failure
of components and void the warranty.
This planer features bearings that are lubricated
and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not
require any further attention unless they need
to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer
will probably develop a noticeable rumble or
vibration, which will increase when the machine
is under a load. The bearings are standard
sizes and can be replaced through Woodstock
International.
Follow the maintenance schedule on this page
and the procedures beginning on
properly lubricate the other planer components,
which are essential for long life and trouble-free
operation of your planer.

General
Tensioning/Replacing
V-Belts
Three V-belts transfer power from the motor to the
cutterhead, and then to the infeed and outfeed rollers
with the use of the drive chain system. To ensure
efficient transfer of power to these systems, make sure
the V-belts are always properly tensioned and in good
condition.
If the V-belts are worn, cracked, or damaged, replace
them. Always replace the V-belts with a matched set of
three, or belt tension may not be even among the belts,
causing premature belt failure.
2. Remove V-belt cover from left side of machine to expose belts, as shown in Figure 42.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
After approximately 16 hours of
operation, V-belts will stretch and seat
into pulley grooves and need to be
properly tensioned to avoid severely
reducing life of V-belts.
V-belts and pulleys will be hot after
operation. Allow them to cool before
handling.

Feed Rollers & Chip
Breaker Heights
It is essential that the feed rollers and chip breaker are
set at the correct distance below the cutterhead knives at
BDC (bottom dead center) to ensure that the workpiece
moves through the planer evenly and the correct distance
from the cutterhead knives.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment
process quicker and easier, we recommend using a
Rotacator for these adjustments (refer to Accessories).
If a Rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two even
sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be used, but
care must be taken when jointing the wood to achieve
accurate results.

Adjusting Roller Spring
Tension
The infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece moving
through the planer. Springs exert downward pressure
on the feed rollers while allowing them to raise with an
uneven workpiece surface. Proper spring tension is crucial
to keep the workpiece moving through the planer during
operation.
The ideal feed-roller spring tension varies depending
upon the type of wood you plane. When adjusting spring
tension, keep the following in mind:
• If you are planing milled lumber with a consistent
surface, use less spring tension to reduce the risk of
marring the workpiece.
• If you are planing rough lumber with inconsistent
surfaces, use greater spring tension to keep the
stock moving through the planer.
• If the workpiece consistently stops feeding during
operation, the spring tension may need to be
increased.
To adjust feed-roller spring tension, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Rotate tension screws (shown to the right) clockwise
to increase tension or counterclockwise to decrease
tension.

Calibrating Table
Elevation Scale
Although correctly set at the factory, the table elevation
scale can be adjusted for accuracy if necessary.
To calibrate table elevation scale, do these steps:
1. Plane a scrap piece of stock until it is flat and of
even thickness along its length.
Note: Turn board over between each pass.
2. Use calipers to measure board thickness.
3. If there is a discrepancy between board thickness
and reading on table elevation scale, loosen the
screw shown in
then re-tighten screw.
Figure 55, adjust scale as necessary,
Checking Anti-Kickback
Fingers
The anti-kickback fingers are an important safety feature
of your planer. The fingers hang from a rod suspended
across the head casting and in front of the infeed roller,
as shown. This design allows the workpiece to easily enter
the planer but reduces the risk of kickback by digging into
the workpiece if it moves backward.
Screw
Figure 55. Location of adjustment screw
for table elevation scale.
Anti-Kickback Fingers
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to ensure they
swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing freely
and easily, first clean them with a wood-resin solvent,
then inspect them for damage. If any of the fingers are
damaged, the device must be replaced before using the
machine.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-kickback
fingers that will attract dust and restrict free movement
of the fingers.
-49-
Figure 56. Anti-kickback fingers.
Proper operation of anti-kickback
fingers is critical for safe operation of
this planer. DO NOT operate planer if
anti-kickback fingers are not operating
correctly. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.

Tensioning Table Height
Chain
The table height chain transfers movement from the
elevation handwheel to the columns that control table
height. The chain drive can be adjusted to remove slack
if the chain stretches over time or is loosened during
table leveling procedures.
To adjust table height chain tension, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove motor access panel to access table height
chain shown in
3. Loosen the two chain tension lock bolts, then push
idler sprocket against chain with moderate pressure
to eliminate slack in chain. While maintaining
pressure on idler sprocket, re-tighten lock bolts (see
Figure 57).
4. Clean and lubricate chain and sprockets (refer to
Table Height Chain & Sprockets on Page 39 for
detailed instructions), then re-install motor access
panel.
.......................................1
Figure 57.
DO NOT let chain fall off sprockets. It
can be very difficult to return chain
to its proper location on sprockets
without changing table adjustments.
Table parallelism is critical to the operation of the
machine. As such, it is essential that the table is parallel
with the cutterhead (within 0.002") from side-to-side, as
illustrated in
How the table sits in relation to the head casting from
front-to-back is also important (see
the feed rollers, pressure bar, and chip breaker will
be adjusted off the table position, the tolerances on
the front-to-back positioning are not as critical as the
cutterhead/table side-to-side positioning. Therefore,
the maximum allowable tolerance for the front-to-back
parallelism is not more than 0.020".
Figure 58.
Table Parallelism Inspection
Use your Rotacator to inspect the table parallelism. If
you do not have a Rotacator, a wood block and feeler
gauges may be used, but extra care must be taken to
ensure accuracy. If the table is not within the maximum
allowable tolerances, it must be adjusted.

Table Parallelism Adjustments
The table is adjusted by turning the chain sprockets
underneath the table for movements over 0.008" or by
adjusting how the table is mounted on the columns for
movements under 0.008".
When making adjustments, tighten fasteners after
each step to ensure the accuracy of your tests. When
adjusting the chain sprockets, keep in mind that if
the chain becomes too loose, it will fall off of all the
sprockets, and returning it to its proper location can
be extremely difficult.

To adjust table parallelism, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cabinet panel and locate chain on underside
of table.
3. Loosen idler sprocket (see Chain Tension
instructions on
4. Move chain away from sprocket you want to adjust
so only that sprocket can be rotated independent of
chain.
Note: If the left side of the table is too high, the
left two sprockets will need to be adjusted. Each
tooth on the sprocket represents .008" of vertical
movement as the cogs are turned. Make sure, as you
turn the sprockets, to keep an accurate tooth count
to ensure that the table is adjusted equally.

5. Mark location of one tooth of sprocket that you are
adjusting.
6. Carefully rotate sprocket (clockwise to lower table;
counterclockwise to raise table) just enough to
position next tooth at marked location, then fit
chain around sprocket again.
7. Repeat Steps 4–6 with each sprocket that needs to
be adjusted until table-to-cutterhead clearance is
