Weights Net weight Shipping weight 115.8 kg (255 lbs.) 142.5 kg (313.5 lbs.) 129.8 kg (285.5 lbs.) 150.3 kg (330.5 lbs.) 1 subject to local and national electrical codes. The specified values are emission levels and are not necessarily to be seen as safe operating levels. As workplace conditions vary, this information is intended to allow the user to make a better estimation of the hazards and risks involved only.
Read and understand all setup and assembly instructions before attempting to assemble the machine. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. IMPORTANT: If you purchased the helical head planer, before operating the machine verify that each knife insert has been properly torqued. Refer to sect. 7.3 for information. 5.0 Setup and assembly Remove all contents from shipping carton. Do not discard packing material until saw is assembled and running satisfactorily.
Place the straight edge across extension table and main table, as shown in Figure 5-4. Move the straight edge to different places along the table width during the alignment process. The planer should be operated in a well-lit area with good ventilation. Exposed metal surfaces, such as tables, rollers, cutterhead, etc., may have been given a protective coating at the factory. This can be removed with a soft cloth moistened with a good commercial solvent.
5.7 Levelers This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 61. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 6-1. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
CAUTION: Always remove hex wrench before starting planer. 7.0 Adjustments 7.1 Belt tension/replacement 4. Loosen the five gib screws (C, Figure 7-2) with a 12mm wrench. Inspect belt tension frequently during the first few hours of operation, as new belts may stretch during this period. If the belt requires tightening, proceed as follows: 5. Use the magnetic inserts in the Torx drive handle to lift the knife out of the slot. Clean the slot of any dust or pitch. 6.
CAUTION: Always remove hex wrench before starting planer. 11. Tighten all gib screws on the other two knives in the same fashion, until all gib screws on the cutterhead are firmly tightened. (NOTE: The purpose of this incremental tightening process is to prevent any slight deflection or warpage of the cutterhead, and to ensure that each knife is completely seated into the slot.) 4. Before installing each screw, lightly coat the screw threads with machine oil and wipe off any excess. 5.
If the planer shuts off frequently, refer to sect. 10.0 Troubleshooting. 8.4 Transmission rollers overview 8.2 Depth of Cut A. B. C. D. E. See Figure 8-4. The cutting depth scale is a combination inch/metric scale (Figure 8-2), with a cutting range from 0 to 6" (152.4mm). A manual scale is mounted directly to the front column. Anti-kickback fingers Infeed roller Chipbreaker Cutterhead Outfeed roller The distance of upward or downward movement is controlled by the handwheel. Figure 8-4 8.
8.7.1 Outfeed roller height 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. Figure 8-5 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Remove top cover. 3. Make sure knives/knife inserts are properly set. 4.
8.7.2 Infeed roller height 9.0 Maintenance Use the identical procedure for checking the infeed roller as you did for the outfeed roller. Use the 0.032" (0.81mm) feeler gauge atop the gauge block. If adjustment is necessary, use the lock nut and screw on each end of infeed roller. Disconnect machine from power source before performing maintenance. 9.1 General maintenance 8.7.
4. Reinstall drain plug (A) and fill gearbox with clean lubricant through hole (B). 5. Install and tighten filler cap (B). 2. Push down or pull up the head assembly in the desired direction. Hold the assembly in position and retighten the cap screws. 3. Check table-to-cutterhead parallelism again as described in the previous section, then repeat steps 1 through 3 if needed until deviation is less than 0.004”. Figure 9-1 9.
head casting; counterclockwise will decrease the distance. This adjustment is very sensitive and it should not be necessary to turn the sprocket more than one or two teeth. 7. When adjustments are correct, replace chain around corner sprocket, slide idler sprocket (S, Figure 9-3) back to re-tension chain, tighten bolt (R) and insert and tighten bolt (P). 9.4 Lubrication points Items on this chart are referenced to the surrounding illustrations.
10.0 Troubleshooting JWP-15B,15BHH 10.1 Performance problems Table 4 Symptom Snipe Fuzzy grain. Torn grain. Rough/raised grain. Rounded, glossy surface. Poor feeding of lumber. Possible Cause Correction Inadequate support of long boards. Support long boards with an assistant or extension rollers. Uneven feed roller pressure front to back. Adjust feed roller pressure. Dull knives or knife inserts. 15B: Sharpen or replace knives. 15BHH: Rotate or replace inserts. Lumber not butted properly.
10.2 Mechanical and electrical problems Table 5 Symptom Uneven depth of cut side to side. Board thickness does not match depth of cut scale. Chain is jumping. Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses. Possible Cause Correction * Knife projection from cutterhead is incorrect (15B only). Adjust knife projection. Table not parallel to cutterhead. Adjust table/cutterhead parallelism. Depth of cut scale is incorrect. Adjust depth of cut scale.
Symptom Possible Cause Correction * Motor starter failure. Examine motor starter for burned or failed components. If damage is found, replace motor starter. If motor starter looks okay but is still suspect, you have two options: have a qualified electrician test the motor starter for function, or purchase a new starter and establish if that was the problem on changeout.
