Clean all coated and greased Read adjustments; methods of drive. structions thoroushly. Locate all lubrication points; MOUNTING ‘Mount machine securely to solid foundation. Locate in clean, dry and well ventilated building if possible. Motor und electrical connections should be protected when not in operation or if exposed to weather elements. EXHAUST SYSTEM Recommended as a must if efficient production operation required. Not a necessity where limited amount of operation being performed and machine can be kept clean of shavings. INSPECTION ‘The above machine requires the minimum amount of attention in serv- ice. Periodic or regular inspections are recommended to insure machine is in proper djustment, positive electrical connections; worn or loose “V" belts and bearings heating or loose. BEFORE OPERATING Check motor nameplate data or wiring diagram of motor and switeh for proper voltage connection before wiring into line. Run motor without load to check the connections and direction of rotation, Always refer to motor nameplate data for rotation conneetions. POWERMATIC MACHINE CO., MeMINNVILLE, TENN. PAGE 5Model 100-12” Planer OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, ‘ 3 OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS & PLANER BED: ‘The planer bed mounts in the main frame - and is held rigid by the shims and adjusting serews (2) locatéd in front of the machine. The bed is raised and lowered by theyrears and thrust serews through the handwheel (1). Keep shims adjusted to hold planer bed rigid in ways but not too tight to restrict freedom of raising and lowering with handwheel. ‘The planer bed must also be level with cutterhead. Check this by lowering bed to-allow placing # small jackserew type gauge or block between one extreme end of cutterhead. Slide gauge to opposite end of cutterhead to determine if same measurement exists, If bed is out of level adjust in following manner. Loosen set serews in serew nut (3) on high side of bed and turn nut to left until bed is level and tighten set serew in nut. Vy PLANER BED IDLER ‘The adjusting screws (4) for the planer bed idler rollers are ROLLERS: located directly under the bearings. Adjust to .008” to .006” above bed level for planing smooth or dry material, and .015% to 025” for rough sawed or green material. Keep rollers adjusted to same height at both ends. When rollers are set too high snipe or bite out will appear on both ends of planed material. Tf - eset too low, feeding will be restricted through material friction on planer bed POWER DRIVE FEED There are two power driven feed rollers. One corrugated infeed ROLLS: (7) and one smooth outfeed. The feed rollers are held with a spring loaded plunger slide with tension to regulate the pressure. Pressure on feed rollers is regulated with spring cap screw (12) to increase pressure, turn serew to right, to deerease, turn to left. ‘The feed rollers are held up with stud bolts (13) and are raised or lowered by loosening lock nut on bolt (13) and turning to the right to raise, or to the left to lower rollers. Feed rollers should be set 1/32” below the are of the knife cut and the rollers : should be parallel with planer bed. Feed roller setting may be checked by feeding a short board through the machine, 8” or 10” wide and planing off a light cut. After the board has been fed through the machine, feed it through the machine until both Clutch). There should between the spring cap screw (12) and stud. se feed rollers touch the board. (Stop be 1/82” elearan Ea: screw nut (13). If the rollers are not properly adjusted, they Ea may be adjusted at this time, CHIPBREAKER: ‘The chipbreaker may be raised from the cutterhead with handle (18) exposing adjustments (15) that adjust the height of the chipbreaker. Chipbreaker should rest on material while it is being fed through the machine. When the material is fed through, chipbreaker should raise approximately 1/32", PAGE 6 POWERMATIC MACHINE CO., MeMINNVILLE, TENN. k.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOLDDOWN BAR ‘The holddown bar is adjusted with adjusting nuts (14) and should be adjusted .001” to .003” above material being planed. ‘To adjust holddown bar, loosen lock nut and turn adjusting screw (14) to the right to raise and to the left to lower. FEED DRIVE BELTS: To adjust feed belts, loosen nuts (20) on the inside of planer frame and slide studs in slots until belts have proper tension. b If machine does not feed properly remove guard and check for belt slippage. LUBRICATION: ‘The infeed and outfeed rollers have grease fittings (8) and (9). Feed drive sheaves are lubricated at (16) and (17). These fittings require greasing every ten (10) hours of operation with No, 1 grease, or a light weight type. Planer bed ways, bed raising screws, bed idle roller bearings should be greased every ten (10) hours of operation with SAB No. 10 oil or equivalent. MATERIAL THICKNESS To set the indieator on the material thickness scale (6) to indieate GAUGE: properly after changing knives, loosen the screw in the planer bed which holds the brass pointer and set to the thickness the material measures when planed or fed through the machine. The hole which mounts the brass pointer is slotted and will permit proper adjustment. CUTTERHEAD: ‘The cutterhead is equipped with three knives held in position with the lock shims and set screws (10). Knives must be adjusted to set evenly and level in the cutterhead. Before removing knives from eutterhead, the knife gauge should be set to knives in order that the height of the knives will not be changed relative to the other parts of the head. The feed rollers, chipbreaker and holddown bar are adjusted to the arc of the knife cut, and if the height of the knives are raised or lowered, the feed roller, chipbreaker, and holddown bar should be adjusted : accordingly. Knives should not protrude more than 3/32” beyond radius of cutterhead. When replacing knives after sharpening, place the knife slot tozether allowing the knife to protrude 4” to #4”. Tighten the lock shim set serew in each end just enough to hold knife firmly. Using a hard block of wood the knife can be lightly tapped to slot for proper setting. ‘The feeler type gauge furnished with machine will permit setting Knives accurately, however, a dial type indicator gauge is rec- ommended if finest finish required. Improper knife setting: will cause vibration and leave knife marking on material. KNIFE CARE: IMPORTANT: Knives should be kept sharp. The knives do all of the work and they will not do satisfactory work if they are DULL. The sets of knives are matched and balanced at the factory. When the knives are sharpened, eare should be taken that they are kept in balance, POWERMATIC MACHINE CO., MeMINNVILLE, TENN.
