ADJUSTING
ROLLERCASE
LEVEL
Refer to Figure
24.
The planer
will produce
an uneven
depth
of cut (tapered
cut)
if roliercase
is not parallel
with base. To restore
parallelism
of rollercase
with
base:
•
Using
a test piece, measure
height
of the taper. Determine
which
corner
or side needs
adjustment.
•
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 on the idler bracket.
Loosen
chain by sliding
idler bracket.
•
Carefully
rotate
the sprocket
by hand to change
the
rollercase
height.
Be sure to leave the other sprockets
untouched.
Do not rotate
sprocket
more than
one or two
teeth.
Movement
of one sprocket
tooth
relative
to the
chain moves
the rollercase
approximately
0.006".
•
Retighten
chain
by securing
idler bracket
in position.
Tighten
socket
head
bolts securely.
•
Set planer
back on its base.
•
Make a test cut to verify
adjustment.
