2. Check belt tension. Proper tension is obtained
when there is approximately 1/4” deflection of
the center span of the pulleys using light
finger pressure (Fig. 10).
3. If adjustment of belt tension is necessary,
loosen one pair of hex nuts (E & F, Fig. 11)
and turn the other pair to raise or lower the
motor plate. Re-tighten nuts.
Table Rollers
Overview
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers
(A, Fig. 12) which turn as the stock is fed into the
planer, thus reducing friction. It is not possible to
give exact dimensions on the proper height setting
of the table rollers because each type of wood
behaves differently.
As a general rule, however, when planing rough
stock, the table rollers should be set at high
position. When planing smooth stock the rollers
should be set at low position.
Note: When raising the roller higher above the
table, the available range is from .003” to .006”
See Fig. 13.
