9. Loosen the roller
adjustment check nuts
(Fig.20d) to change
the
height
of
the
roller.
10. When the roller is set in the correct posi-
tion, retighten the check nuts from step 9.
11. Recheck roller height and repeat steps 8-10
if necessary.
FEED ROLLER PRESSURE
Infeed and outfeed roller pressure is an impor-
tant aspect of any planer. When the workpiece
is fed through the planer, the correct amount
of pressure will help ensure that the board
does not slip (too little pressure) or does not
jam (too much pressure).
NOTICE: Excessive pressure may damage work-
piece. It's important to note that different lum-
ber will require varying amounts of pressure,
so you may have to experiment with different
settings. While some rough cut lumber will go
through the planer with little trouble at one
pressure setting. Other pieces may have some
more difficulty.
NOTICE: Adjusting the roller pressure does not
affect height.
WARNING: Make certain the machine is dis-
connected from the power source.
1. Before adjusting roller pressure, ensure that
the knives and feed rollers are set correctly.
2. Unscrew the four
large
pressure
set
screws (Fig.21a & b)
on the top of the
planer body.
3. Remove the springs that are in the holes left
by the set screws and check for any dirt or grit,
cleaning off any dirt and replace springs.
4. Screw the three regular pressure set screws
(a) back in until they are flush with the top of
the head casting.
5. Screw in the light pressure set screw (b) until
it is about 1/4 above the head casting. The rea-
son this screw is not tightened as much as the
other three is that the feed chain helps apply
the needed tension to this side of the outfeed
roller.

6. Tightening the set screws down further will
INCREASE roller pressure, while backing them
off will DECREASE roller pressure.
BED ROLLERS
The bed rollers aid the movement of the work-
piece through the planer. The height of these
rollers will vary depending on the types of
wood. For rough stock, the rollers should be
set slightly higher to keep the lumber from
dragging along the bed. For smooth lumber,
the rollers should be set just above the surface
of the table.
WARNING: Make certain the machine is dis-
connected from the power source.
1. Lay a straight edge across both of the table
rollers.
2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance
between the bottom of the straight edge and
the table. Make sure to measure in several
places.
3. If measurement is between .002" and .005",
the clearance is acceptable. If you do not have
a measurement of .002" to .005" go to step 4.
4. Loosen the set screws located on both sides
of each roller.
5. Hold the adjusting
plate (C), turn the ec-
centric shafts to adjust
the roller height up
or down as shown in
Fig.22.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until clearance is .002" to
.005".
7. Retighten all set screws.
8. Spin rollers by hand to ensure that they
move freely.
CHIP DEFLECTOR
The
chip
deflector
(Fig.23a) is the plas-
tic plate under the
top cover that keeps
woodchips from fall-
ing onto the outfeed
roller.
WARNING: Make certain the machine is dis-
connected from the power source.
1. The beveled edge of the deflector should be
about 1/8-1/4 from the knife edge. Check this
by care- fully rotating the cutterhead by hand
