SERVICE
The feed rollers must be aligned correctly with the table
to maintain a smooth and straight feed.
To check the feed roller-to-table alignment, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Pull the retaining pin out (see Figure 57), and set the
chip deflector aside.
3. Make the wooden gauge block shown in Figure 56.
4. Place the finished block on the table, directly under
one end of the infeed roller, as shown in Figure 57.
5. Lower the cutterhead housing so the infeed roller
barely touches the gauge block the lowest end of the
roller (see Figure 57).
6. Slide the block over to the other end of the roller.
7. Using a set of feeler gauges, measure the gap
between the roller and the block.
—If the gap is more than 0.005", proceed to Step 8
and adjust the swing arm downward so the roller
just touches the block or the gap is less than 0.005".
8. Loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 58, then
rotate the cam nut until the swingarm lowers or
raises, so the roller just touches the block without
compressing the roller springs.
9. Remove the gauge block and retighten the cap screw.
10. Check and adjust the outfeed roller in the same
manner as above.
11. Complete the Feed Roller Height & Spring Tension
adjustments on Page 21.
12. When finished, reinstall the chip deflector.
