•
Replace brushes if carbon (B) is worn.
•
Replace brushes and tighten brush cap.
ADJUSTING
ROLLERCASE
LEVEL
Refer to Figures 21 and 22, pages 14 and 16.
The planer will produce uneven depth of cut (tapered
cut) if rollemase (Fig. 22, Key No. 59) is not parallel
with base (Fig. 21, Key No. 48). To restore parallelism of
rollercase with base:
•
Using a test piece, measure height of the taper.
• Turn planer off and disconnect from power source.
•
Fold front and rear extension tables.
•
Lay planer carefully on its back so that bottom side
of base is facing you.
•
Loosen two socket head bolts (Fig. 21, Key No. 62).
Loosen chain (Fig. 21, Key No. 67) by sliding idler
bracket (Fig. 21, Key No. 60).
•
Rotate elevation screws as needed. Each turn of
screw will move that side of rollercase by _Aa".
•
Retighten chain using idler bracket.Tighten socket
head bolts securely.
• Set planer back on its base.
•
Make a test cut to verify adjustment.
REPLACING
V-BELT
Refer to Figures 21, 22 and 23, pages 14, 16 and 18.
Inadequate tension in V-belts (Fig 22, Key No. 28 and
Fig. 23, Key No. 78) will cause belts to slip from the pul-
leys. Loose belts must be replaced. To replace V-belts:
•
Remove socket pan head screw and flat washer
(Fig. 21, Key Nos. 1 and 2). Pull handle off. Pull knob
(Fig. 21, Key No. 40) off.
• Remove four pan head screws (Fig. 21, Key No. 15)
from cover (Fig. 21, Key No. 10). Remove cover.
Remove right side cover (Fig. 21, Key No. 39).
•
Remove V-belt (Fig. 22, Key No. 28) by walking the
belt from both pulleys alternately. Gently pull the belt
while turning the pulleys at the same time. Repeat
with V-belt (Fig. 23, Key No. 78).
•
Replace with new belts. Walk each belt onto the pul-
leys in the reverse manner as when removingthe
belts.
Make sure each of the belts are evenly seated all
the way on both pulleys.
Replace right side panel and knob. Replace cover
and secure with pan head screws. Replace handle
and secure with flat washer and pan head screw.
LUBRICATION
• Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need
no lubrication.
Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of
debris and greased.
The table and extension tables can be coated with a
lubricant such as paste wax, to make the workpiece
feed smoother. Be sure the lubricant used does not
affect the ability to finish the workpiece with varnish,
sealer, etc. Do not use any siliconebase lubricants.
CLEAN PLANER
• Keep planer clean of any wood chips,dust,dirt or debris.
• After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears
should have wood chips, dust and old grease
removed.
• Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate
all chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears
have plenty of grease.
