Anti-Kickback Fingers

The anti-kickback fingers (A, Fig 23) help 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.

Adjusting Infeed & Outfeed Roller

Spring Tension

To adjust the spring tension of the infeed and

outfeed rollers, turn screws (G & H, Fig. 24) with a

hex wrench. Turn screws on opposite end of

infeed/outfeed rollers in the same manner.

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; and

the outfeed roller should be set at 0.02” (0.5mm)

below the cutting circle. See Fig. 25.

If an adjustment to the infeed roller, chipbreaker,

pressure bar or outfeed roller is necessary, use

the following steps as an example of procedure.

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, Fig. 26) on the

table directly underneath the cutterhead (D,

Fig. 26). Using a 0.02” (0.5mm) feeler

gauge (K, Fig. 26) 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.
