Planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite size of the board. Depth of cut is the term used to indicate how deep the blades will cut into the workpiece. OPERATION SAFETY RULES WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool operation.
MM/INCH • - Millimeters/Inches Pressing this button toggles back and forth between standard and metric, and can be done at any time without affecting saved settings. HOLD - Maintains Data On The Display • Press this button to "freeze" a measurement on the display; it will remain even if the table is moved. Press HOLD again and it returns to normal measurements. SET - Preset Battery • Press SET; the indicator will flash "SET". Press and hold the SET button and each digit flashes in turn.
ESTABLISH ABSOLUTE ZERO • Turn on the digital display. It turns on in absolute mode. • Plane one side of a scrap board at an appropriate and safe cutting depth (_/_0"for example). • Raise the table by the same amount (_/_6"),then turn the board over and plane the other side. Do not move the table from the current position. • Measure the planed board carefully with calipers. This measurement of the finished board is the equivalent of the distance from table to blade.
PREPARING • THE WORK board into the planer. • Do not plane dirty boards. Dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear the blade. • • Remove nails and staples to avoid damaging the blades. • Avoid knots. Heavy crossgrain makes knots hard. Also knots can come loose and jam the blade. • • • Push slightly on board and allow automatic feed to take the board. Release board and allow automatic feed to function properly. Do not push or pull on workpiece.
• Gently lift and support the board when all of the board has left the infeed roller. FEED ROLLER ADJUSTMENT • When planing more than one board, butt the boards together to reduce snipe. Refer to Figures 12 and 20, page 20. POWER Infeed and outfeed rollers (Key Nos. 18 and 30) feed the workpiece under the cutterhead. FEED RATE ADJUSTMENT Spring-loaded feed rollers press against workpiece to prevent rollers from slipping. Refer to Figures 10 and 11.
REMOVING AND REPLACING BLADES LUBRICATION Refer to Figure 20, page 20. Refer to Figure 19, page 18. CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Use leather gloves and exercise caution when replacing blades. The planer gearbox has been filled with lubricating oil at the factory. The gearbox oil should be changed each 2500 hours of operation. To change oil: WARNING: WARNING: Disconnect planer from power source. Disconnect planer from power source.
• Roller gauge blades are marked with three height settings - 0.15mm (0.005"), 0.30mm (0.010") and 0.45mm (0.015"). • Place a gauge block at each end of the roller with the height setting desired facing upward. • Turn the adjuster until roller just touches gauge block. ? @ k_ 2 "€'4 1/2=¢, Figure 15 - Adjustment OUTFEED 1'/2m_ _= Block ROLLER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Refer to Figures 15, 16, 20 and 21, pages 20 and 22.
CHIPBREAKER ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING Refer to Figures 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21, pages 13, 14, 20 and 22. Refer to Figures 15, 18 and 21, pages 13, 14 and 22. The table is positioned parallel to the cutterhead at the factory and should need no further adjustment. If the planer is cutting one side of the workpiece deeper than the other producing a tapered cut, then the table may need to be adjusted. Check to see that the blades are adjusted properly, see "Adjusting Blade Height" page 9.
