Additional Safety for Planers INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Be aware of correct operation and potential safety hazards. Read and understand this entire manual before starting the planer. INFEED CLEARANCE: The infeed roller is always spinning while machine is in operation. Keep hands, clothing, and long hair away from the infeed area to prevent anything from being pulled into the planer and prevent serious injury.

Cleaning The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser to clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact.
3 Using a straightedge as a guide and the set screws for leveling control, position the extension wings even with the table, then fully tighten the hex bolts. NOTE: Be aware that the bed rollers will give you a false reading with your straightedge if they are raised above the table. Move them down or work around them when leveling the extension wings.
Safety Switch NOTE: The magnetic switch is there for your safety and should not be replaced by a standard power switch. If the power goes out, the magnetic switch prevents the machine from starting when the power is returned, and protects the operator from an accidental start and possible injury. Figure 9 Gearbox Oil Level ! WARNING: Before starting your machine for the first time, make sure the gearbox has oil. The proper oil level is just even with the bottom of the fill plug hole.
SECTION 4: Operations / Adjustments Your Pioneer thickness planer has been fully adjusted at the factory and no further setup is required to operate your machine. However, because of handling and transit, some of these adjustments may need to be repeated to ensure optimum cutting results. Keep this in mind as you start to use your new planer.
Operation Tips ¸ Lumber should be clean and dry. Inspect for defects like loose knots, warping, cupping, twisting, glue and for foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the quality of your lumber, do not use it. Wood with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed to rain or snow, will plane poorly and leave a feathery surface. Wet wood causes excessive wear to the knives and motor and can also hasten rust and corrosion.
Adjusting Height / Depth of Cut 1 Turn handwheel clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust to the required height of table. (Fiqure 14) 2 Before adjusting height, the lock knobs must be loosened. When required height is obtained, tighten the lock knobs. (Figure 15-A) 3 The scale displaying the height increments is located on right front column. (Figure 16) Lock Knobs Figure 15-A 2 Set Screws Left side shown here, 2 on each side. Figure 14 2 Roller Adjusters Left side shown here, 2 on each side.
Adjusting Alignment on Pulley Using a straightedge, check to see if the motor pulley is in line with the shaft pulley (Figure 18). If they are not in line, loosen screws as shown in figure 19-A. Move motor to left and right until adjusted to proper position and then tighten screw again. A Shaft Pulley B Figure 19 Motor Pulley Figure 18 Adjusting V-Belt Tension This must be done after approximately 16 hours of operation.
Inspecting Knives The planer knives are preset at the factory to surface medium to hard density wood when cutting 1/16" to 1/8" depths depending upon the width of the stock. Planer knives need to be periodically inspected for nicks and wear. Planer knives should be set approximately .070" above the cutterhead. To inspect and remove the knives for sharpening follow the steps below. To inspect the knives: Figure 22 1 Disconnect the planer from the power source. 2 Remove the cover and dust chute.
Position the knife gauge over the knife as shown in Figure 24 and loosen the gib bolts until the knife is completely loose. 6 7 Jack Screws - Using a 3mm hex wrench, rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it should barely touch the middle pad of the knife setting gauge. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7 with the rest of the knives. 8 Rotate the cutter head to the first knife you started with.
Feed Rollers 1 Follow steps 1-7 above. 2 Remove the gear box cover to access to the adjusting screws. 3 To function properly the infeed roller needs to extend below the lowest arc of the cutterhead approximately .030". 4 To adjust; loosen the jamb nut and using a 3mm Allen wrench and a feeler gauge tighten or loosen until there is .030" space between the Allen screw and infeed block. Lock the setting by tightening the jam nut. Set both left and right hand sides. See figure 29.
Table Parallelism Your Pioneer planer is pre-set parallel at the factory and should rarely need adjustment. However, in the instance that lumber is not parallel in width follow the adjustment procedures. Table Parallelism Inspection 1 Disconnect from power source before performing any adjustments. 2 Table parallelism adjustments less than .016” (the difference in thickness from one side of the board to the other) 3 Loosen the caps screws that hold the head casting in position.
SECTION 5: Maintenance ! WARNING: Always disconnect power to the machine before performing any maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Cleaning Mantenance Schedule for Optimum Performance NOTE: This schedule is for machines that are under daily use. Adjust accordingly for your level of use. Keep unpainted cast iron parts of table clean. DAILY Lubricate feed rollers. Clean cutter head of all debris. WEEKLY Lubricate all four columns.
