caught in machinery and cause serious
personal injury. Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair tied up and
away from machinery.
Tighten V-Belts
The final step in the setup process must be done after
approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16
hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley
grooves. After this 16 hours, the V-belts must be ten-
sioned or your belts will slip and burn out. Refer to Page
24 when you are ready to perform this important adjust-
ment.
Note: Pulleys and belts run very hot. This is a normal
condition. Allow them to cool before making adjustments.
Note: A collection of black belt dust at the bottom of the
belt housing is a normal during the life of the machine
and does not indicate premature belt failure is in prog-
ress.
For your convenience, the adjustments listed below have
been performed at the factory and no further setup is
required to operate your machine.
However, because of the many variables involved with
shipping and storage, 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.
Step-by-step instructions for these adjustments can be
found in the SERVICE section.
