G1017 12'' Portable Planer -21-
Feed Rollers
The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are
spring-loaded. The feed rollers ride up on the
board so roller pressure is maintained. If chips or
sawdust build up between the bracket and bush-
ing block, the amount of roller vertical travel will
be reduced. See Figure 15.
Routinely check and clean chips and sawdust
from between the bushing blocks and brackets.To
depress the rollers so that chips and sawdust can
be easily removed:
1. Place a 5'' block of wood between one of
the feed rollers and the planer bed. Ensure
that the block of wood is not under the cut-
terhead.
2. Lower the cutterhead assembly down just
enough so that the roller pressure is off of
the two brackets.
3. Remove any trapped material from
between the roller assembly and bracket.
4. Raise the cutterhead assembly and remove
the block of wood.
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 above to clean chips
and sawdust from the second feed roller.
