7. Locate the chain on the underside of the
table.
8. Loosen the idler sprocket (see Chain Tension
instructions on Page 48).
9. Mark the location of one tooth in the sprocket
that you are adjusting.
10. Move the chain away from only the sprocket
you want to adjust so only that sprocket can
be turned independent of the chain.
Note: If the left side of the table is too high
(viewed from the planer table infeed), the
front and rear left sprockets will need to be
adjusted. Each tooth on the sprocket rep-
resents .007" of vertical movement as the
cogs are turned. Make sure, as you turn the
sprockets, to keep an accurate tooth count to
ensure that the table is adjusted equally.
11. Carefully turn the sprocket (clockwise to
lower the table; counterclockwise to raise the
table) just enough to position the next tooth at
the marked location, then fit the chain around
sprocket again.
12. Repeat Steps 9–11 with each sprocket that
needs to be adjusted until the table-to-cutter-
head clearance is within 0.007" from one side
to the other.
13. Make sure the chain is properly fitted on the
sprockets, and tighten the idler sprocket lock
nuts.
14. Place the table back on the base with the
forklift, relatch the base to the jointer/planer,
and reinstall the access panels.
Anti-Kickback
Fingers
The Model G0675 provides an anti-kickback sys-
tem as a safety feature. The anti-kickback fingers
hang from a rod suspended across the cutterhead
casting. The anti-kickback fingers should be
inspected regularly.
Check the fingers (Figure 85) to ensure that they
swing freely and easily. If the fingers do not swing
freely and easily, clean them with a wood resin
solvent.
Do not apply oil or other lubricants to the anti-
kickback fingers. Oil or grease will attract dust,
restricting the free movement of the fingers.

Fingers
Proper operation of the anti-kickback fin-
gers is essential for the safe operation of
this machine. Failure to ensure that they
are working properly could result in serious
operator injury.
