FEED ROLLER SPEEDS
Your planer is equipped with feed roller speeds of 20
and 30 feet per minute depending on belt placement
on the pulleys. As a rule, a faster feed rate is used for
general planing operations, while a slower feed rate
(because it provides more cuts per inch of stock) gives
a finer and smoother finish to the workpiece.
1. To engage the feed rollers, simultaneously push
button (A) Fig. 16, and pull downward on handle (B).
2. To disengage the feed rollers, simultaneously push
button (A) Fig. 17, and move handle (B) to the raised
position, as shown.
3. To change feed roller speeds, disengage the feed
rollers as explained in STEP 2.
4. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
5. Open two doors (C) and (D) Fig. 18, located on the
left side of the machine.
6. Reposition drive belt (E) Fig. 19, on pulleys (F) and
(G). When belt (E) Fig. 19, is on the smallest step of
motor pulley (G) and the largest step of the gear box
pulley (F), the feed roller speed will be 20 feet per
minute. When belt (E) Fig. 19, is on the largest step of
the motor pulley (G) and the smallest step of gear box
pulley (F), the feed roller speed will be 30 feet per
minute. A feed rate adjustment chart is located on the
back of panel (C) Fig. 20, for quick reference.
