TABLE RAISING AND
LOWERING CONTROLS
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE
For fast easy changes in thickness settings to accom-
modate thick or thin stock, the table can be rapidly
raised or lowered by pulling up or pushing down on the
table raising and lowering control lever (C) Fig. 9. NOTE:
The machine must be turned "ON" and the feed rolls
engaged when doing this.
Fine adjustment of the table height can be made by
loosening lock knob (D) Fig. 9, and turning table raising
and lowering handwheel (E). Tighten lock knob (D) after
table adjustment is made. The handy English/Metric
Scale (F) indicates the desired table height setting.
The English/Metric scale and shelf (G) Fig. 10, located
on the front of the table is used to quickly determine the
thickness of stock, before or after planing, by simply
placing the stock on the shelf as shown in Fig. 10. This
enables you to quickly position the table for the next cut.
NOTE: The setting of the table to its final position should
always be made by raising the table to the desired set-
ting and not lowering the table. This insures that all
backlash will be removed from the raising and lowering
screws.
FEED ROLL SPEED CONTROLS
Your planer is supplied with feed roll speeds of 25 and
46 feet per minute. When the feed roll lever (A) is in the
"up" position as shown in Fig. 11, the feed rolls are
engaged and the planer will feed. When the lever (A) is
in the "down" position the feed rolls are disengaged and
the planer will not feed. To disenguage the feed rolls, at
any time, simply push down on the engagement lever (A)
