-30- G0550/G0551 15" Planer
The thickness scale, located below the hand-
wheel, can be adjusted for accuracy. However,
material must be run through the machine to
adjust the thickness scale. Make certain you have
followed the directions in the Operations Section
for test running before attempting to make these
adjustments.
To adjust the scale:
1. Adjust the cutterhead height to the approxi-
mate thickness of your test lumber. Measure
the lumber with calipers to determine its
exact thickness.
2. Move the cutterhead to 1 ⁄
16
" under the thick-
ness of your lumber and feed your test board
through the planer.
3. Turn the handwheel one half rotation and run
the board through once more. Turn the board
over and repeat.
Figure 30. Screw for column adjustment.
4. Measure the board again and compare your
results with the scale. If there is a discrepan-
cy, loosen the scale adjustment screw and
correct the position. See
Figure 30.
