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

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 pos-
sible to give exact dimensions on the proper height set-
ting 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) clockwise. To lower table rollers (A) turn adjust-
ment knob (B) counterclockwise.
ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
Anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 14, are provided on your
planer to prevent kickback. These 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.
