and out of the chip chute.The chlpbreakermust be
positioned1ram below cutterhead to operate properly.
The chlpbreakerposition is checked and adjusted by
using the followingprocedure:
• Dlsconneot planer from power source.
• Adjust blade height properly (See =Adjusting Blade
Height", page 7).
• Place adjustment block (See Figure 13) under cutter-
head at one end as shownin Figure 14. Place lmm
feeler gauge between blockand blade. Raise or
lower table so that blade just contacts feeler gauge
when blade Is at lowest pesitlen. Put gearbox in neu-
tral and rotate cutterbead slowlyto determine lowest
positionof blade. Lock table in pesitlon by tightening
lock knobs (Figure20, Key No. 75). Do not unlock
table positionuntil both sides of chipbreakerhave
been adjusted.

ADJUSTING TABLE POSITION
Refer to Figures 13. 17 and 20.
The table is positioned parallel to the cuttarhead at the
factory and should need no further adjustment. If the
planer is cutting one side of the workpleca deeper than
the other producing a tapered cut, then the table may
need to be adjusted. Check to see that the blades are
adjusted properly, see =Adjusting Blade Height" page 7.
• Disconnect planer from power source.
• Place adjustment block (See Figure 13) on table at
outside edge of roller case and on infeed side of
planer. Slide block to one corner of roller case. Raise
or lower table until block Just contacts roller case.
Lock table in position by tightening lock knobs (Key
No. 75). Do not unlock table position until all four cor-
ners of the roller case have been checked.
• Slide blockto other side of rollercase on infead side
of table. Check to see that the blockjust contacts the
roller case.
• Move adjustment block to outfead side of table and
check height of both sides of roller case. Adjustment
block should just contact roller case. If all four cor-
ners of roller case are at the came height, then roller
case and cutterhead are parallel to the table.
• If roller case Is not parallel to the table, then the
table must be adjusted. Loosen the two bolts holding
the chain tension sprocket (See Figure 17). It may
be necessary to remove bolt "A" to release the ten-
sion in the chain.
