TABLE ROLLERS
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig. 21,
which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction be-
tween the stock and the table and rotate as the stock
is fed through the planer.
1. To raise the table rollers, loosen locking lever (B) Fig.
21, and pull control lever (C) upward to the desired
height setting.
2. To lower the table rollers, loosen locking lever (B) Fig.
21, and push control lever (C) downward to the desired
height setting.
3. After adjusting height of the table rollers, tighten
locking lever (B) Fig. 21.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING TABLE
ROLLER HEIGHT
It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper
height setting of the table rollers because each type of
wood has different behavioral patterns. As a general
rule, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should
be set high (.003" to .005") above the table surface.
When planing finish stock, the table rollers should be set
low (.001") above or level with the table surface.
To check and adjust the height of the table rollers,
proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2. With the table rollers in the lowest position, lay a
straight edge (A) Fig. 22, across both table rollers (B) on
the left side of the table as shown.
3. With a feeler gage (B) Fig. 23, measure the gap
between the table surface and the straight edge (A) near
the infeed roller (C).
4. If an adjustment to the infeed table roller is necessary,
loosen locknut (D) Fig. 24, which is located under the table
and below the infeed roller and rotate adjustment nuts (E)
as necessary to raise or lower the height of the infeed
roller. NOTE: It will be necessary to raise the table to gain
access to the adjustment nuts. Tighten locknut (D) after
adjustment is made.
5. Check and adjust the height of the infeed table roller
on the other side of the table in the same manner.
