Twisting
If material twists while feeding through the
planer, either the table rollers, pressure bar, or
outfeed roller may be out of level. Refer to
adjustment settings on pages 14 and 15.
Halted Feeding
If the infeed roller takes the stock, the
chipbreaker lifts, and just as you hear the knives
contact the material, the workpiece stops
feeding; then the pressure bar is too low. Re-set
the pressure bar (see page 15).
Operation
NOTE: For detailed explanation of the
Controller, refer to the section beginning on
page 20.
The emergency stop button shuts down all
operations on the planer. To re-start the planer,
twist the knurled ring on the stop button until it
pops back out.
Maintenance
Periodic inspections are required to ensure that
the machine is in proper adjustment, that all
screws are tight, that belts are in good condition,
that dust has not accumulated in the electrical
enclosures, and that there are no loose or worn
electrical connections.
Buildup of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic
cleaning is not only recommended but
mandatory for accurate planing.
Close fitting parts, such as the link plates below
the table and the platforms on the cutterhead
which seat the knife inserts, should be cleaned
with a rag or brush and non-flammable solvent
and freed from clinging foreign matter.
Use caution when working
with or around the cutterhead.
Remove resin and other accumulations from
feed rollers and table with a non-flammable
solvent.
Lubrication
The gear box oil should be changed at least
once a year. Remove the drain plug (A, Figure
20) to drain the oil into an appropriate container.
Replace the drain plug and fill the gear box with
60-90 weight gear oil through the fill hole (B,
Figure 20). The sight glass (C, Figure 20) should
be checked periodically and oil topped off as
necessary.
