Use and Care Manual

NOTE: This procedure uses a home-made gauge

block and feeler gauges, which should be sufficient

for most planer operations. If more precise

measurements are desired, use a dial indicator

device.

A home-made gauge block can be made out of

hardwood. Figure 8-5 is an example.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Remove top cover.

3. Make sure knives/knife inserts are properly set.

4. Place gauge block (F, Figure 8-7) on table

directly beneath cutterhead (D).

5. Using a 0.032" (0.81mm) feeler gauge (G,

Figure 8-7) placed on top of the gauge block,

lower head until knife just contacts feeler gauge

when knife is at its lowest point. Do not move

head any farther until outfeed roller is adjusted.

6. Remove the feeler gauge and move the gauge

block under one end of the outfeed roller, as

shown in Figure 8-8. 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 (J) and turn

screw (H) until outfeed roller just contacts the

gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (J).

7. Check and adjust opposite end of outfeed roller

in the same manner.
