RAISING AND LOWERING HEAD

ASSEMBLY

The head assembly (A) Fig. 12A contains the cutterhead

feed rollers, cutterhead guard and motor. Raising and

lowering the head assembly controls the depth-of-cut

on your planer. To raise or lower the head assembly,

rotate the handle (D).

NOTE: One revolution of the handle will move the

cutterhead up or down approximately 5/64" (2 mm).

An English/metric scale and pointer (C) is located on the

front of the planer to indicate the height of the

cutterhead. Adjustment to the pointer can be made by

running a piece of wood through the machine. Measure

the thickness of the workpiece and if an adjustment is

necessary, loosen two screws (B) and adjust pointer

accordingly. Then tighten two screws.

Refer to Fig. 12B for recommended maximum depth-of-

cut for various board widths of soft and hard woods.

CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT THE

DEEPEST DEPTH OF CUT CAN CAUSE

PREMATURE MOTOR FAILURE.
