G1037 Planer / Moulder -17-
Feed Roller Adjustment
Make sure the powerfeed rollers are lowered
from their stock setting. Do not lower the rollers
past the point at which the center of the roller axle
extends below the bottom edge of the headstock.
It is also recommended to tighten the spring ten-
sion adjusting nuts several rotations to firm-up
the down force on the board. This will encourage
smoother feeding and reduce the risk of kick
back. Refer to Figures 20 & 21 for a diagram of
the feed roller adjustment components.
CAUTION: Before turning on the Planer/Moulder
to make a first cut, raise the table up high enough
so that the board will be firmly pinched against
the table by the infeed roller. Failure to observe
this final step may create a potentially serious
kick back hazard.

Stock Pre-sizing
It is extremely important to pre-cut all material so
that it is not more than
1
⁄
8'' wider than the finished
profile. Attempting to cut more than
1
⁄8'' off the
overall width can overload and break the knives
resulting in serious damage and/or injury. Stock
should be planed down to within
1
⁄16
'' of final thick-
ness.
