ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
WHEN INSPECTING AND CLEANING
THE ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS, MAKE
SURE THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE.
A series of anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 27, are provided
on the infeed end of the planer, to prevent kickback of
the workpiece during the planing operation. These anti-
kickback fingers operate by gravity and no adjustment is
required. It is necessary, however, to inspect them
occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and pitch
and that they move independently and operate correctly.

tension is when there is approximately 1/4" deflection in
the center span of the belts using light finger pressure.
