ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)

RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD ASSEMBLY

The head assembly consists of the cutterhead, knives, feed rollers, cutterhead guard, and

the motor. Raising and lowering of the head assembly controls the depth of cut on the

planer.

To adjust:

1. To raise the head assembly (A), turn the adjusting handle (B) clockwise. SEE FIG 6.

2. To lower the head assembly, turn the adjusting handle counterclockwise.

NOTE: One revolution of the handle will move the cutterhead up or down approximately

1/16”. You can confirm this by referencing the scale (C) on the front right side of the planer.

FIG 6

NOTE: The Repeat Cut Thickness Indicator (D), located on the bottom right side of the

planer, provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a work piece. Rotate the

indicator to the desired finished thickness. Use this feature when thickness planing multiple

work pieces to ensure a uniform thickness of all work pieces. See page 19 for more

information. Do not attempt to lower the cutterhead assembly below the preset level as

damage will occur.
