The chipbreakers (A) Fig.29, are located on the top of the planer and

extend downward around the front of the cutterhead. The chipbreakers

will raise as stock is fed through the planer and «breaks or cuds» the

wood chips. The bottom of the chipbreakers must be parallel to the

knives and set .40» below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the

chipbreakers, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. Make certain the knives are adjusted properly as explained in

section «Checking, Replacing and Resetting Knives».

cutterhead knife (D) touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at

its lowest point.

NOTE: Do not move the table any further until the adjustment has

been completed.

4. Move gauge block (B) Fig.31, directly under the chipbreaker (A)

as illustrated. The bottom of the chipbreakers (A) Fig.31, should slight-

ly touch the gauge block (B).

5. If an adjustment to the chipbreaker is necessary, loosen the two

hex nuts (E) Fig.29, and turn the adjustment screws (F) until the

chipbreaker slightly touches the gauge block at both sides of the

table.

at its lowest point. Do not move the table any further until the

adjustment has been completed.

4. Move gauge block (B) Fig.33, under the pressure bar (D) as

illustrated. The bottom of the pressure bar (D) Fig.33 should slightly

touch the top of the gauge block (B). Verify the opposite end of the

pressure bar in the same manner.

5. If an adjustment to the height of the pressure bar is necessary;

loosen lock nut (E) Fig.34, and turn adjustment screw (F) until the
