-16- G1021 15" Planer
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Overview
Once assembly has been completed, your G1021
15" Planer requires just a few adjustments to
ready it for use in your shop.
Many adjustments have already been made at
the factory, yet we recommend you familiarize
yourself with all of the following procedures to
gain a better understanding of the Planer’s con-
struction and operation.
General control and adjustment locations are
shown in Figure 10.
A. The switch is thermally protected and mag-
netically controlled and features push but-
tons to turn the planer on and off.
B. The handwheel raises and lowers the table
and controls the depth of cut. Turning the
handwheel clockwise raises the table and
counter-clockwise lowers the table.
C. The bed rollers ease stock movement
through the planer and are adjustable.
D. The three position feed rate change knob
shifts planer feed speed from neutral to 16
and 20 feet per minute.
E. The table lock knob secures the table in a
fixed position.
