The chip deflector keeps chips from falling onto
the outfeed roller.
To adjust the deflector position:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the dust port and top cover.
3. Loosen the chip deflector mounting bolts
(see Figure 34).
4. Make sure the deflector is beveled toward the
cutterhead. Move the deflector until the edge
is the correct distance (given above) from the
closest carbide insert. Use the cutterhead
pulley to rotate the cutterhead to ensure
clearance.
5. Re-tighten the mounting bolts and return the
top cover to the planer.

2. Move the table to

your lumber and feed your test board through
the planer.
3. Turn the handwheel one full rotation and run
the board through once more. Turn the board
