The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock through
the planer while keeping boards flat and providing a con-
sistent rate of movement.
The power feed features high/low feed rates. Use the
different feed rates as stated below:
Low Feed Rate .............................Dimensioning Pass
High Feed Rate .................................. Finishing Pass
Figure 10 illustrates the three different positions of the
feed control knob. Moving the knob toward the machine
( Position A) produces the high feed speed (23 FPM) mov-
ing away from the machine ( Position C) produces the low
speed (18 FPM) and moving the knob to the center posi-
tion ( Position B) places the gearbox in neutral.
The speed should only be changed when the machine is
running.
