Facer
The facer is of the McElroy rotating planer-block design. The blade
holders each contain multiple cutter blades. The block rotates on
ball bearings and is chain driven (enclosed in lubricant) by an
electric motor. The facer has a release mechanism for quick and
easy removal from the machine. The facer can be inserted from
either side of the carriage.
NOTICE: Never extend the blade beyond the inner or outer
circumference of the facer.
Electric motors are not explosion proof. Operation
of these components in an explosive atmosphere will
result in serious injury or death.
Remove brushes on the Milwaukee facer motor:
The armature brushes must be removed from the electric motor when
manually operating in explosive atmospheres. Unscrew the brushes
from both sides of the motor. (Both brushes must be removed).
A 1-1/8" hex shaft allows for manual operation in explosive
atmospheres.
Remove brushes on the Eibenstock facer motor:
The armature brushes must be removed from the electric motor
when manually operating in an explosive atmosphere.
Remove the rear cover of the motor.
Slide the spring clip away from the brush and pull the brush out
(A).
Loosen the brush ground wire (B) and pull the wire loose.
Repeat these steps on the wire on the opposite side.
Store the brushes in a safe location until needed.
A 1-1/8" hex shaft allows for manual operation in an
explosive atmosphere.
The facer has a handle that latches into place on a guide rod. The
handle must be pulled out to unlatch and remove facer.
The electric facer is symmetrical and can be inserted from either side.
The facer should be stored in the stand when not in use.
NOTICE: Never extend the blade beyond the inner or outer circumference
of the facer.
