FEEDINGWORK
The planer is suppliedwith planingblades mountedin the
cutterheadand infeedand outfeed rollersadjustedto the
correctheight.Planer feed is automatic;it willvary slightly
depending on type of wood.
• Feed rate refers to rate at which lumber travels
through planer.
• Operator is responsiblefor aligning work so it will
feed properly.
•
Raise/lower rottercaseto produce the depth ol cut
desired.
•
Stand on side to which the handle is attached.
-!
Figure 15 - FeedingWork
•
Boards longerthan 24" should have additional sup-
port from free standing materiat stands.
• Positionthe workpiece with the face to be planed on
top,
• Turn the planer on.
•
Rest board end on in-feed roller plate and direct
board into planer.
• Gently slide workpiece into the infeed side of the
planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the
workpiece.
•
Let go of the workpieca and allow automatic feed to
advance the workpieca.
• Do not push/pull on workpiece. Move to the rear and
receive planed lumber by grasping it in same man-
ner as it was fed.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury due to kickbacks, do
not stand directly in line with front or rear of planer,
• Do not grasp any portion of board which has not
gone past out-feed roller.
•
Repeat this operation on all boards which need to be
same thickness.
•
Planer has return rollers (A) on top so assistant can
pass work back to operator.
Figure 16 - Return Rollers
NOTE: Assistant must follow same precautions as
operator.
• Surface that the planer will produce will be smoother
if shallower depth of cut is used.
Avoiding
Snipe
• Snipe refers to a depression at either end of board
caused by an uneven force on cutterhead when work
is entering or leaving planer.
•
Snipe will occur when boards are not supported
properly or when only one feed roller is in contact
with work at beginning or end of cut.
•
To avoid snipe, gently push the board up while feed-
ing the work until the outfeed rotterstarts advancing
it.
Move to the rear and receive planed board by gently
pushing it up when the infeed roller looses contact
with the board.
• When planing more than one board of the same
thickness, butt boards together to avoid snipe.
•
Snipe is more apparent when deeper cuts are taken.
•
Feed work in direction of grain. Work fed against
grain will have chipped, splintered edges.
Planer will operate best if kept in good conditionand
properly adjusted.
CHECK
FOR WORN
BLADES
• Condition of blades will affect precision of cut.
Observe quality of cut which planer produces to
check conditionof blades.
•
Dull blades will tear, rather than sever wood fibers
and produce fuzzy appearance.
•
Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on
wood that has varying density. Raised edge will also
be prm:luced where blades have been nicked.
