Tools Needed: Phillips Screwdriver #2, Scrap
Piece of Stock, Calipers.
To re-position the scale:
1. Plane the scrap piece of stock until it is flat
and of even thickness along its length.
NOTE: Turn the board over between each pass.
2. Use calipers to measure the board thickness.
3. If there is a discrepancy between the board
thickness and the reading on the table height
scale, loosen the two screws shown in figure
33, adjust the scale in relation to the pointer,
then re-tighten the screws.

ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
The anti-kickback fingers are an important
safety feature of your planer. The fingers hang
from a rod suspended across the head casting
and in front of the infeed roller, as shown in
figure 34.
This design allows the
workpiece to easily
enter the planer but
reduces the risk of
kickback by digging
into the workpiece if
it moves backward.
Check the anti-kickback fingers regularly to en-
sure they swing freely and easily. If the fingers
do not swing freely and easily, first clean them
with a wood resin solvent, then inspect them
for damage.
If any of the fingers are damaged, the device
must be replaced before using the machine.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti
kickback fingers that will attract dust, and re-
strict the free movement of the fingers.
WARNING: Proper operation of the anti-
kickback fingers is critical for the safe opera-
tion of this planer. DO NOT operate the planer
if the anti-kickback fingers are not operating
correctly. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.

PULLEY ALIGNMENT
Proper pulley alignment prevents premature V-
belt wear and unnecessary load on the motor.
The pulleys are properly aligned when they are
parallel and in the same plane as each other.
Tools Needed: Straightedge 3', Hex Wrench
6mm, Wrenches or Sockets 14mm.
To check/re-align pulleys:
1. DISCONNECT PLAN-
ER FROM POWER!
2. Remove both cabi-
net covers and the
belt cover, then use
the straightedge to
check
pulley
align-
ment, as shown in fig-
ure 35.
— If the pulleys are not in the same plane,
loosen the cap screw or hex bolt securing the
pulley to the shaft, then adjust the pulleys in or
out until they are aligned.
— If the pulleys are not parallel, loosen the
four motor mount hex nuts, then rotate the
motor on its mount until the pulleys are par-
allel.
3. Re-check the pulleys and repeat Step 2 if
necessary.
4. When your are satisfied with the pulley
alignment, re-tighten all fasteners, then re-
place the belt cover and cabinet covers.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section covers the most common process-
ing problems encountered in planing and what
to do about them. Do not make any adjust-
ments until planer is unplugged and moving
parts have come to a complete stop.
See the section on Wood Characteristics for ad-
ditional troubleshooting information.
MOTOR & ELECTRICAL
MACHINE DOES NOT START OR A BREAKER
TRIPS
1. Stop push-button engaged/faulty. Rotate
button to reset/replace it.
2. Power supply switched OFF or at fault. En-
sure power supply is on/has correct voltage.
3. Thermal overload relay has tripped. Reset;
adjust trip load dial if necessary; replace.
