To change feed roll speeds, make sure the feed roll
engagement lever (A
) Fig. 12, is disengaged (in the
down position) and open the left side door of the
machine. When the belt (C) is on the smallest step of the
motor pulley (D) and the largest step of the gearbox
pulley (E), the feed roll speed will be 25 feet per minute.
When the belt (C) is on the largest step of the motor
pulley (D) and the smallest step of the gearbox pulley
(E), the feed roll speed will be 46 feet per minute.
TABLE ROLLERS
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig. 13,
which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction and
turn as the
stock is fed through the planer. It is
not
possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height
setting of the table rollers because each type of wood
behaves differently. As a general rule, however, when
planing rough stock the table rollers should be set HIGH
and when planing smooth stock the table rollers should
be set LOW.
To raise the table rollers (A) Fig. 13, turn adjustment
knob (B) cloc
kwise. To lower table rollers (A) turn
adjustment knob (B) counterclockwise.
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
Anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 14, are provided on your
planer to prevent kickback. Th
ese fingers operate by
gravity and it is necessary to inspect them occasionally
to make sure they are free of gum and pitch so they
move independently and operate correctly.
