FINE ADJUSTMENTS The depth adjustment handle allows for fine adjustments, from .40mm (1/64”) to 1.6mm (1/16”.) Fine adjustments are ideal for “shaving” small amounts from your material. For example, if your planed workpiece measures 77.79mm (3-1/16”) thick, but should be 76.2mm (3”) thick, adjust your planer to remove the excess 1.6mm (1/16”) as follows: 1. Plane and measure your workpiece. In this example, the finished thickness is 77.79mm (3-1/16”). 2.
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM WIDTH/HEIGHT/DEPTH NOTE: There is a certain area on the carriage of your planer that will allow the 3.18mm (1/8”) depth of cut on material less than 152.4mm (6”) wide. See Figure 12 for an approximate location of this area. Your material must move under this section of the carriage or planer will not take a 3.18mm (1/8”) depth of cut. If the material is wider than 6”, it will not fit through this area with an 3.18m (1/8”) depth cut. FIG.
MAINTENANCE INSTALLING A NEW BELT NOTE: No tools are necessary to install a belt. The use of a screwdriver or other tool to pry or stretch a belt may cause damage to the pulleys and ultimately destroy the new belt.
