POSITIONTHE CHIPBREAKER
Refer to Figure 15, page 16.
The chipbreaker (Key No. 2) is used to help remove
wood chips from the cutter bits and knives while planing
or molding. Adjust the chipbreaker every time the cut-
ting tools are changed or adjusted.
The chipbreakershould be positionedas close to the
cutterhead as possiblewithout contactingthe cutter bits
or knives. Loosen the three hex head bolts (Key No. 3)
that hold the chip breaker and position it as close to the
cutterhead as possible, rotate the cutterhead by hand to
ensure that there is no interference with the chipbreaker.
Secure the chip breaker by tightening the three hex head
bolts. Replace and secure knife cover.
MOLDING
Molding, also known as miliworkor trim, can be defined
as a strip of wood milled with a plain or decorative sur-
face which is continuousthroughout its length.
• To get superior molding finish, workpiece must be
planed and presized prior to molding.Always presize
the workpiece to '/_," of the final thicknessprior to
molding.
Certain molding profiles require outer edge clean-up.
When using such profilesthe workpiece must be pre-
sized to ¼" larger than the final width.This will allow ',_,"
for clean-up on either side.
Certain molding profilescut only the edge of the work-
piece. When using such profilesworkpiece must be pre-
sized to the same width as the final width.
INSTALLING
CUTTER BITS
Refer to Figures 7, 8 and 15, pages 8, 9 and 16.
NOTE: The cutter bits arc mounted in the center of the
cutter head (Figure 15, Key No. 39) using the 2" bit gibs
(Figure 15, Key No. 43) provided.The cutter bits and
the planing blades (Figure 15, Key No. 40) are mounted
in the cutterhead at the same time so that planing and
molding operations can be done with the same set-up.
The knife setting gauge (see Figure 7) is used when
mounting three piece molding bits in the planer/molder
cutterhead.The gauge aligns the bits in the cutterhead
so that all three bits cut the workpiece in the same posi-
tion providing precise cuts and improvedsurface finish.
• Turn the planer/molder off and unplug the
planer/molder from the power source.
• Remove the knife cover and chip deflector (Figure
15, Key Nos. 4 and 6).
• Using the 6mm socket head bolt (Figure 15, Key No.
5) used to mount the knife cover, mount the knife
setting gauge to the top of the planer/molder as
shown in Figure 7.
• Position the knife setting gauge so that the molding
bits are positioned in cutterhead as required. Tighten
the 6mm socket head bolt.
• Loosen two set screws (Figure 15, Key No. 42) on
the 2" bit gib (Figure 15, Key No. 43) located in the
center of the cutterhead.
• Use the brass punch in the hardware bag to gently
tap the gib down into the cutterhead slot.
• Tap untilthe gib is loose and can be moved.
• Remove the 1" spacers (Figure 15, Key No. 44) as
needed.
• Be sure the cutterhead slot and gibs arc clean and
free of any dirt, grease, chips or burrs.
•
Place the cutter bits in the cutterhead slo! in place of
the spacers.
• Insert the first cutter bit to be mounted between the
bit gib and planer knife.
• Slide the cutter bit against edge of the cutter bit set-
ting gauge and tighten the cutter bit/bitgib combina-
tion in the cutterhead.
To mount more than one cutter bit in each cutter-
head slot, for example, tongue and groove cutter bits
(23302), additional set of three bit gibs is i'equired.
Use replacement parts list,page 17, Key No. 43 to
order.
• Remove one or both cutterhead gibs (Figure 15, Key
No. 41) as needed after looseningthe set screws
(Figure 15, Key No. 42) and tapping gibs down.
• Place the bit gib in the cutterheed slot at the desired
position.
•
insert the cutter bit between the bit gib and planer
knife, and tighten cutter bit]bit gib combination.
•
Rotate the outterhead and mount the remaining cut-
ter bits using the knife setting gauge to align bits.
•
Be sure all bits and gibs are tight and secure.
•
Remove the knife setting gauge and replace the
knife cover and chip deflector.
WARNING:
Never operate planer/molder without knife
cover and chip deflector properly mounted.
CAUTION:
In order to prevent damage to cUtterhead,
caution must be exercisedwhen mounting gibs in the
cutterhead slots.
