of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
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.
Workpieces with minor warping should be
jointed first or planed with the cupped side
facing the table.

LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly around
inside the planer at a high rate of speed
during operation. To avoid injury from flying
material, DO NOT look inside planer during

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine,
do not exceed the maximum depth of cut or
minimum board length and thickness found
in the Data Sheet. Only feed one board at a

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.

Below is a list of wood characteristics you
may encounter when planing. The following
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
machine. Instead they are carried around the
cutterhead, deposited on the planed surface and
crushed by the outfeed roller. Some causes of
chip indentation are:

Minimum–Maximum Stock Thickness .................3⁄16"–6"
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. The
planing depth of cut is controlled by using the headstock
elevation handwheel (see Figure 16) on the right side of
the machine. Rotating the handwheel clockwise raises the
headstock.
Although the correct depth of cut varies according to
wood hardness and workpiece width, we recommend the
maximum depth of cut (per pass) be no more than

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.
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.
The knife-setting jig included with this planer is designed
to set the knives at a uniform distance of 0.070" above
the cutterhead surface.
Note: If you need to replace or sharpen a knife, you can
remove the knife from the cutterhead during
the following procedure. Thoroughly clean out any debris
from the knife slots before replacing the knives.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from power
before adjustments, maintenance,
or service.

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.

Adjusting Feed 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 rise 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.

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 49. 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

the elevation handwheel to the columns that control
headstock height. The chain drive can be adjusted
to remove slack if the chain stretches over time or is
loosened during headstock leveling procedures.

To adjust headstock height chain tension, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove motor access panel to access headstock
height chain shown in
3. Loosen 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 bolts (see

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.

off the table position, the tolerances on the front-toback positioning are not as critical as the cutterhead/

Cutterhead Parallelism Inspection
Use your Rotacator to inspect the cutterhead 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 cutterhead is not within the maximum allowable tolerances, it must be adjusted.
Headstock Parallelism Adjustments
The headstock is adjusted by turning the chain sprockets
underneath the table for movements over 0.008" or by
adjusting how the headstock is mounted on the columns
for movements under 0.008".

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 headstock parallelism, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cabinet panel and locate chain on underside
of table.
3. Loosen lock bolts and idler sprocket (see Tensioning
Headstock Height Chain Tension instructions on
37).
Page
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 0.008" 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
within 0.008
8. Make sure chain is properly fitted on sprockets, then
re-tighten idler sprocket and lock bolts.
9. If necessary, micro-adjust headstock position by
loosening cap screws shown in
or lowering headstock until it is properly aligned
with cutterhead.
Note: This process may require adjusting the
columns on both the left and right hand sides until
you find the correct combination.
